pg: mo williams sg: AP sf: bron pf: jj hickson c: shaq key reserves: delonte west, varejo, big z pg: jack: sg: derzoan sf: hedo pf: bosh c: bargs 6th man: caledron game notes: much anticipated rematch from opening night when the raps spanked an exhausted cavs club. things are much different this time around as the cavs are the hottest team in the league and the raps have proven themselves to a be an alright team. moreover, this game is also on quasi national tv in the states being aired on nba tv and with only one other game tonight- expect a lot of nba fans to get a glimpse of our raptors. miscellaneous note: last night cwebb on the tnt broadcast said that both eric gordan and demar had to show him something because he hasnt seen them dunk all season or something to that effect because he usually mumbles his words and they are barely audible. however, if i was derozan- i would pissed and dunk the ball every time i get it. and coincidentally- cwebb will be doing the game for the nbatv tonight, so hopefully cwebb can experience an awakening. and the game thread girl...
tony brothers gave the cavs two free points with techs plus he called every 50/50 play against the raptor defender guarding lebron. tony brothers is one of the officials who walks around like he's a fucking GOD and gives out the most condescending look to players and coaches who dare question his judgment. this is what fucks the nba up the arse- the amount of subjectivity and the capricious nature of officials puts the legitimacy of the league in limbo. fyi, the officials earn well into the six figures, so its not like they arent well compensated.
im seriously doubting triano's ability to coach- he goes with caledron over jack in spite caledron struggling all game with his decision making and his shot; he goes with turk over wright when turk looked a 50 year old man trying to keep with 20 year old's at the Y and beli should never close out games because he flops on every possession and officials will never call incidental contact at the end of games. also, not getting bosh more touches with shaq on him in the fourth quarter is puzzling.
we're seventh in the conference btw. not good, especially with a surging bobcat team who look awesome.
Everybody knows the NBA is controlled... Lebron james is the princess of the league. What is funny to me is that he cries when the refs make the right call...
