Glad they made me eat crow tonight. I should have known this would happen since it seems to be the script when the Cavs play the Celtics. Look like shite in the first half then dominate them after halftime.


Good win, but the pressure is still on Cleveland to win game 2.

Cavs too many options to do the LeBron iso the whole fourth quarter. Dunno if that'll work against Orlando if they get through.

I like how they let them play in the fourth, haven't seen that in a while.

Roker really coached well in the 2nd half; rotations were spot-on.

Cavs went with Parker and Moon on Rondo in the 2nd half and it seemed to slow him down.

That, and the hard foul by Shaq - I hope the Cavs keep making Rondo pay for taking it into the lane.

Mo easily gets MVP though. He turned that shite around for real. Hard to imagine it going our way without him stepping up.

Mo saved the Cavs asses tonight in the 3rd; it gives me some hope that he won't disappear like he did last year vs Orlando.

Windy tweeted about Mo tonight - that dunk on Pierce turned the game around:

that was a genius adjustment. Should be the answer throughout the series.

It almost seems like we can adjust to anything they throw at us. I expect us to come out and play at least one game like complete shite and everything go their way. But I'm thinking 4-1 us. At some point we break their will, if they beat us, their best chance is game 2 because of our letdown or game 3 at Boston.

Lebron can do basically whatever he wants against Boston. He can get to the rim at will; they can't slow him down at all. If he were hitting those shots right around the basket early the entire game would have been different.

And FWIW I was thinking that Parker should probably guard Rondo before the game started. Glad Brown switched over to that.

fwiw, I'd much rather have you or MBU coaching the Cavs than Mike Brown y'all both call a lot of shite early and often. It almost seems like Roker is reading Tiger droppings.

That's the difference between this year and last - the additions of Moon & Parker allow the Cavs to put some length on opposing perimeter players.

Last year, the options were West (too small), Wally (too slow), or Sasha (too autistic).

Appreciate the vote of confidence, but I'm sure there's some sort of league rule against head coaches drinking beer while watching their team play. So I'm out.

shite, I wish Mike Brown was drinking beer, it would at least be an excuse for some of his retardation.

Am I the only one who thinks that KG and Jamison are going to beat the crap out of each other before this series is over?

Heh.

But giving credit where it's due, Hickson was used tonight exactly how he should the rest of this series.

And Brown did keep Shaq in the game late into the 4th and was rewarded with some strong play.

I also didn't see too much LeISO.
