Dunno why my article was deleted, but whatever. I wrote it with one hand though..lolI'm glad a reporter feels the same way as me..Charlotte -- What happened here at the lovely Charlotte Bobcats Arena tonight was the definition of a bad loss. It's an 82-game season, these are going to happen, but considering it is now Spring and the stakes are high, I'd have to say this goes into the unacceptable category.There was lots of crazy stuff happening in the final few minutes. And while I have staunchly defended the head coach all season, I have to assign the blame to him tonight. Here's why:--The game was in total helter skelter mode with under two minutes left. Let me go over it in a long and winding fashion to illustrate what I mean: Up 94-90, LeBron James blocked Matt Carroll and threw the ball to Eric Snow, who rushed to the other end and tried to layup the ball up a against two defenders and he was swatted by Gerald Wallace, who threw a bad pass that LeBron picked off and threw to Larry Hughes, who was trapped in the backcourt with 1:20 left. STOP! This would be a good time to call a time out and settle things down. But, nope, didn't happen. Supposedly Brown tried to call a timeout here, but it doesn't matter because he didn't get it. Then LeBron threw up a 23-footer with 15 seconds on the shot clock. Eek.--After the Bobcats scored to pull within two with 40 seconds left, Eric Snow was supposed to take the ball out of bounds to break the press. But Anderson Varejao did. STOP! This would be a good time to call timeout. Nope.--Then Andy inbounded the ball to Sasha Pavlovic, who is the king of the bad turnover when games aren't even in crunch time. STOP! This would be a good time to call timeout. Someone, anyone, timeout. The Cavs had two left. Heck, Snow knew he was supposed to have the ball, he should've called one. Sasha turned it over three seconds later.--I am not going to go over what happened after that, it doesn't matter. The game was lost right there. However, I am going to talk about what made a potential blowout such a tight game. The Bobcats went to a small lineup, which seemed to mess up the Cavs' sideline. Despite Zydrunas Ilgauskas dominating the game, he played just five of the game's last 18 minutes. Why? Make the Bobcats defend him. Also, the small lineup made Brown take Sasha out. He got one shot in the entire second half. Why? Make the Bobcats defend him, too. Drew Gooden got ZERO shots in the second half. Why? The Bobcats had no post defenders.--With six minutes left in the third quarter, Brown put Snow in to guard Wallace, who was killing the Cavs. Wallace had just seven points the rest of the way. One basket came on a putback and one basket came in transition. That means Snow did a good job. However, by playing him the last 18 minutes of the game, Brown took Hughes off the point. This is what was working for the last for the last three weeks. So in crunch time, no Ilgauskas, almost no Pavlovic, and Snow at the point. No wonder LeBron was the only person who could score. And he was dominating the ball and dribbling a whole bunch again, not the dynamic way the Cavs were playing offense. Plus you lose Ilgauskas and Gooden's ability to offensive rebound. The Cavs had just five second chance points in the second half. Just bad personnel decisions.--In general, I thought LeBron did a good job of taking the ball to the basket. He got 12 free throws and made 11 and got a bunch of layups and dunks. The Cavs had 62 points in the paint, which is good. What killed them was no one of the team could make a jumper all night. In the second half, no one scored more than six points besides James. This was old one-dimensional offense again.--The Bobcats made a lot of 3s and a lot of jumpers, it was their night in that regard. They shot 55 percent in the second half yet I didn't think the Cavs played all that bad on defense. Also, I thought Wallace was great. His hustle on defense and his attacking of the glass on offense when he stopped going was difference-making. But all that could've been withstood had some better decisions been made.Ugh to many points to point out. :no1:
Mike Browns young, of course he's going to make mistakes. Hopefully he will learn how to coach better over the next 10, 15 years.tough loss for the cavs though but I wouldn't count them out entirely in the race for the number one seed in the east, there's still a good chance the cavs can get that.
Maybe you should blame Lebron for chucking a 3pter instead of trying to get to the foul line for a potential win with 7 tics left. WTF was he thinking? After the regular time expired, the Bobcats just outplayed you guys..That Herman guy was money from the corner, and Morrison hit a 3 to put them up by 3 also. Matt Caroll is also REALLY good at catching and releasing. He has such a feathery touch. His shot is unbelievable.I thought Z really had a good game too. He got a couple O-rebs for points in the early going, got a couple hooks in the post, a few shots. He was very involved in the offense, and he had a good game. Larry Hughes sucked in my opinion, and Lebron was attacking at will in th 2nd half. I think he had like measly 8 coming out of halftime, and he finished with like 37 or something.Anyway, good game. Oh, forgot to add a few things. Eric Snow did a really nice job on Gerald Wallace. He wouldnt back down to him in the post, and did a nice job of containing and frustrating him. Also, Gerald had a nice game. The guy is so athletic and strong. He can attack the basket at will, and he can post you up, and use his stength to muscle it in, or go to the line. He is so dangerous offensively, and he can also do a ton of things for you defensively also. I think the Bobcats definately need to re-sign this guy.
Like I said, I am fine with Brown's defensive side of the ball. It is his offensive and lack of ability to get the Cavs motivated that is making me angry. The reason we lose to teams like the Knicks is because the Cavs don't play hard a full game and they just sit and watch like this is a pick-up game. GET THE REBOUND AND STOP STARING YOU FAGGOTS!!!
Drake, I'll talk about the New York game here quickly.Sasha Pavlovic was on fire, yet Brown failed to draw up plays to him and failed to make a way for this team to find him. He had the hot hand all game long. Also, during our 8 game winning streak Mike Brown did ONE thing right. Kept Snow to 10 minutes a ball game and let Larry Hughes run the point. The second half of the Bobcats game, Eric Snow took over the point and Hughes went back to shooting guard. Larry was avg 5.5 APG at the point and now with Snow taking his minutes (past two games he has NOT seen the 4th quarter (U KIDDING ME?)) And snow has played the 4th quarter the whole time. Mike Brown is in love with Eric Snow and all Snow is doing is bring this team down. It took him forever to make the move to bench Snow and now he is trying to find a way to bring Snow back into the starting lineup. Mike Brown pisses me off so much, the offense isn't the problem. Its the damn defense that was terrible the past 4-5 games. Cleveland is starting to fall, Mike Brown made the worst move by putting Snow in to take over for Hughes. The guy needs to be well, fired.
All you did was enforce my statement.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I am fine with Brown's defensive side of the ball. It is his offensive and lack of ability to get the Cavs motivated that is making me angry.</div>Everything you said offensively, I agree with. Although, I do like Snow's defensive game and usually his mindset. It is easy to see why Brown loves him, he is a vet that plays great "D." Although, I like Snow playing around ten minutes a game, and I didn't like the fact Hughes keeps sitting out and Snow keeps taking over, there was reason Hughes at point was working before.Cavs, fill me in real quick. I missed two weeks of games starting last week and I haven't heard anything. What is up with Damon Jones? Last time I heard he was sick and he was just sitting and helping Coach Brown a lot, now it is like he doesn't exist on the court. What did I miss? Has he been sucking? Did he do something wrong? WTF?
Having Snow come in and play defense for the time we need some defense is the smart thing to do, but Brown isn't a smart guy at all. He will keep on giving Snow a ton of minutes and then after them game say "I don't know what happen to our offense".On Damon Jones. I heard he might be selling his house, I don't know why but it looks like Damon is gonna be on his way out this off season. Jones is one of my favorites on the team, it's gonna be sad to see him go. I say we start giving him minutes instead of giving Snow 30.

I also rather not have him go, he is a fan favorite and he was just starting to get hot at the three this season.
Thats what I don't understand, why in the world would we trade him now instead of last season when he couldn't hit jack sh*t. Unless we get something good from him, I want to keep him.
