Cleveland is #1 in offense and #2 in defense right now. I doubt they can sustain this margin of victory, but it's on par with the 95-96 Bulls if they do.


it would actually be better. their margin right now would be a record if they could maintain it. obviously they won't, but you can't ignore how good they are by just claiming its due to a weak schedule. we'll know whether they're for real or not by the end of january. next month they play boston, new orleans, @ lakers, @ portland, @ utah, and @ orlando

There's no reason Houston shouldn't win this game, I'll be disappointed if they don't come out and get the W. Houston has started to play the ball they are capable of in the last few games and the Cavs just aren't as good as a Rockets team that is playing well.

Sorry Sprint.

If you watched the game, you'd see that Houston played nowhere near their best ball.. It was to be expected though, considering it was the 3rd road game in 4 nights and 4th game in 5 nights overall.

I will say that I am as unimpressed with the Cavs now as I was before the game.

more to do with Yao being in foul trouble the whole game, and Tmac not getting on track.

And none of that is due to the Cavs defense. Gotcha.

Yao being in foul trouble? no way. If you watch the game you saw that 2 of those fouls calls were questionable at best. Yao played 10 of the first 36 minutes of the game. That's a huge impact on the game.

The Cavs D is good, I never said it wasn't. Houston just didn't bring their game tonight.

Houston may not have played their best tonight, but Cleveland is a better team than Houston, so Cavs A game >>> Rockets A game.

Thats a big negative. The only 2 teams who at both teams best is better than Houston are LAL and BOS.

The Cavs are better than the Rockets, who once again won't make it out of the first round this year.
