Kapono needs to play with Z and James, as they take the pressure off him. Actually Kapono just needs to play!
Boozer is the main guy holding the Cav's close, some of the other guy's are going to need to start steping up pretty soon if the Cav's want to win this one.
piakowski v. kapono ... a shooter's matchup that most likely will not really make a difference (unless kapono proves it wasn't a fluke)
Cavs are close to falling behind big in this one, they can't get anything going on the offensive end. as Sean said.. "they are not here"
turnovers turnovers turnovers, and is just me or does everyone have fadeaway syndrome tonight. how in the world are we remotely in this game. someone must be smiling on us to give us the opportunity to compete even when we are not at our best. that said, lets fix this thing now.
Mobley as expected hurting us with his jumpers! Plenty of non contributors tonight! Z is plenty invoved, but is all over the shop. Cant miss both free throws!
No one is steping up, last time I checked Z is the Cav's leading scorer with 8 points. Come on 8 points that is pretty sad going into halftime.
Z's blocking shots, creating shots for himself and he's missing shots. He's anti the ball going in the hoop at either end!
The Rockets should never be on national TV. Every game they play ends up being like 70-65. If the Cavs would knock down their free throws it would have been only a 2 point game despite playing poorly. Somebody is going to have to step it up. Nobody is doing anything from the outside. Battie hitting some mid range shots is about the only thing consistently working.
Rockets up 39/33 @ the half James has 2, 2, and 2 Boozer has 8 and 12 Z has 8 and 5 Francis has 2, 1, and 2 Mobley has 14 and 4 boards Yao has 5, 5, and 1 Cavs are shooting 31.8% to the Rockets 37.8% Cavs have 8 turnovers to the Rockets 4 How the hell are we this close? This game has been UGLY. Why are the refs allowing this to be a boxing match?
Man ugliness!!!! Where is the real LeBron. His worst game since the all star break. Z's trying but nothings falling. Need to find some offense, from somewhere! No transition game to speak of!
this is painful to watch, and even mor painful to listen to bill walton's analysis. nothing gets under me skin mor than missed free throws. mobley is a very skilled offensive player, and thats hurting us right now. how bout that leaping ability of stevie franchise, very impressive, though i believe he'll regret calling out lebron like he did in the 2nd half. everyone knows what needs to be done, we need to relax and make some shots, cuz houston isnt gonna run away with this thing, i cant understand how awful their offense is, the way they play defense and the personnel they have they should be a much better basketball team than they are. i like our chances, because our offense can only get better, and we are only down 6. looks like we may have to ride boozer in this 1, he's the only 1 who brought his game tonight. GO CAVS
<------- And I have moved into the starting lineup!!! LOL The only reason we are in this is because we are playing Houston. They are like Detroit, in that you can play bad, and still be in it. Funny for a team thats currently in the playoffs. Francis and Ming have done nothing thus far and that scares me!
