102/96 Cavs win!!! What a dramatic game that had everything, hard fouls, pushing, fights, huge leads, lost leads, injuries, overtime, you name it, this game had it. Boozer finished up with 32 and 18, for Carlos that is a new career high in points. LeBron James continued his mega star play by going for 29, 7, and 2. He got injured on the last play of regulation (the play that tied the game up and sent the Cavs to OT) and was the soul reason why we got back into this game. Boozer was the one that finished the Jazz off. Peep this Box Score for more information. LeBron had a shot in this game people thatw as one of the best shots that I ever seen, a left handed reverse layup between 2 defenders. I suggest you check the highlights of this game to see it, it was god like.

Yes record wise the Cavs are one of the worst, but they also have some of the best potential and have beat some good teams already.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BallerAK47:</div><div class="quote_post">Yes I did watch the game. The Jazz should have won it easily, they blew it</div> Should, would, could? Nice delection of words. When my home team loses, I don't make excuses, I suggest you do the same, you got beat down.
LeBron should be fine. How long does it take for a spain ankle to heal? a few weeks? Dont expect him to miss much time. Great win by Boozer, i mean the Cavs! Wow 32 pts 18 rebounds? Career highs by Boozer touch em' all time!

This was a boxing match, a slugfest, you don't get lunky in games like this, you have to hit them back in the mouth BallerAK47.

I am just very disappointed because they lost a friggin 18 point lead and Lebron wasn't even playing in OT

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BallerAK47:</div><div class="quote_post">Jazz lose How do they lose an 18 point lead to one of the worst teams in the NBA? I guess Ostertag was waaaaaay mre important than I thought.</div> I'm not sure how, but Michael Ruffin would of been a big part of it. Carlos Boozer had a monster game with him Ruffin guarding him. Utah has to put Pavlovic at SF, so AK47 can play PF. He's better at SF, but having Michael Ruffin starting is never a good sign. If Harp was there, Utah would've scored more, and Boozer wouldn't of played like that. But anyway well done to the Cavs, I didn't know they had they much heart in them to come back like that, normally Utah do that kind of thing. I'm still baffled as to how Utah let that one slip, they seem to struggle to close out games they should win.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">That is an excuse and you know it, come on now, be real.</div> How is that an excuse? Please tell me. I'd really like to know. Are you trying to tell me the Jazz didn't fall apart???
Jazz took a beating in the 4th. How can you blow an 18 point lead? Easy, the Cavs do it all the time. Not playing good enough defense, not getting good shots. Cavs momentum took over and the Jazz sucked it all up. Terrible loss by the Jazz. SUX2BEUTAH.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting tmac15:</div><div class="quote_post">I'm not sure how, but Michael Ruffin would of been a big part of it. Carlos Boozer had a monster game with him Ruffin guarding him</div> Ruffin was not on Boozer for the entire game at all, and there was a lot of zone being played on both sides. Boozer beat up the entire Jazz front line and hit jumpers in everyone's face, the big shots late with AK47 on him.

SUX2BEUTAH.</div> It doesn't suck to be Utah, they are still 21-18 But anyway..... Jazz missed so many open shots. I hope Sloan rips into them and KJ, I said Cavs made a great comeback. Boozer and James played awesome
SUX2BEUTAH tonight. You guys are still the better team. Im glad we beat you thats all. Stop being such a poor sport.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BallerAK47:</div><div class="quote_post">Are you trying to tell me the Jazz didn't fall apart???</div> That is exactly what I am saying. That is very arrogant to say that "oh well, they just fell apart" The Jazz are too good a team to just fall apart. The Cavs picked up the defense and were hitting them back, that is the fact. It did shock me from the opening tip to see how aggressive the Jazz are as a team, they love to hit people (gee, looks like things did not change from the Stockton/Malone era) This was a very physical basketball game, and the Jazz did not fall apart. The cavs zoned it up, maned it, mixed it up very well and forced them to take some outside shots.
See, I called this, but I vowed to never pick the Cavs to win on here again. No local stations carry the Cavs while I'm at school so I can't see any of the games, this is killing me. Start showing them Fox Sports already for the love of God! Huge win for the Cavs. 2-4 road trip is pretty solid. Somehow we managed to win the 2 toughest games and play like crap in the 4 games in which we should have had the best shot to win. Boozer had a ridiculous stat line. Going into OT with no Lebron looked like a huge comeback all for naught, but we pulled it out. Now lets build off this and get a little streak going. Great game tonight. Hope Lebron will be ok and can get back soon.

SUX2BEUTAH.</div> Well if exceeding everyone's expectations, having almost everyone on your roster have career years and been in the playoff picture in the west, with arguably the worst line up in the NBA sucks, what's it like in Cleveland?
Jazz fell apart, simple as that. Most of the shots they missed were open shot. MAN!! I am saying the Cavs had a great comeback. I am giving them credit. It was a freaking mixture of both!! Geez, you are trying to make it out as if the Cavs just made a great comeback and that was it. Lebron and Boozer played awesome. Geez, I have great respect for the Cavs after this game, but come on be serious, the Jazz somewhat fell apart.
