Kedrick Wags (at point) Diop Battie Nailon an odd lineup to see, other than Wags and Nailon it can play some d. Block some shots boys!
Wow, a game thread going over to two pages! Good to see Cavalier fans! I hate seeing both Z and Booz sitting together. Our front court offense without them is inept, which puts added pressure on the back court. Will James see that elusive triple double tonight. His 'A' game is on its way!
It's at exactly these early points in games, where opponents go on runs, that Cavs lose their edge. We need to get back in this one quick. We always seem to let 4 point runs extend to 6, 8, then 10. McInnis supplying d is big, but too many missed layups.
There doesn't seem to be many people disappointed that Ollie has been banished past Kapono on the bench. Oh well. Nice to see Wagner playing half decent at the point. It opens up so many more possible minutes for him! Overall though our bench really are not adequate. No consistency. They have to be mixed in with the starters, as they struggle tremendously with the full bench out there. Down 7 with a minute left in the half!
James is having a fine all-around game 13/4/3 but we are simply getting outgunned (our lack of D is one of the reasons why!) Milwaukee can sure score.
Newble?! What a solid half for him all around! Good aggressive d excellent jumper. He played the way we expect him too. I have liked him over past several games. Boozer, Lebron very typical solid offensive halves Z also solid Our team defense is still frustrating. We have trouble maintaining d for an entire half. Silas get these guys fired up!!! The fans need this!
50 - 45 at the half to the Bucks. Mason destroyed us with 21 points to go with 7 boards and 4 assists. He is a pure athlete, that we are now limited in. The starters got us back on track after a horrible stretch in the 2nd. Keep banging it into the post. I really want those Cavalier fans there today to go home happy, and raring for a big next season.
CBBI, Jig_oi. Are we the only Cavs fans on any forum today??? We are screaming the same old thing today. Perimeter defense. Every team has someone on the wings hurting us, and today is no different. This will be a shootout in the 2nd!
If LeBron shows definite signs of d improvement this next season, there will be great things to come for him. I do not use the word "great" loosely here. His man to man must improve and if he is willing to stress it, his d could better his team as much as or more tahn his offense.
I can see us staying with them for the next 5-6 minutes, and then the bench come in and we fall away again. Prove me wrong please. That good feeling I had prior to the game is fading.

Z has turned into a blocking machine this second half of the season. He is playing to his size defensively. Shame his feet dont allow any exposive moves offensively. He got skills though. McInnis playing the 2 guard now. Did play alot of this at Portland!
Get a stop now Cavs! Bron at 19,7,4 He'd need a hell of a fourth for the trip- dub! Booz blocks... We will get more of this next yr. from him. Update 19,8,4 and w/in 2. Go Cavs!! Next year this team is gonna be spectacular.
Did the crowd roar when Ollie checked in??? LOL 2 point ball game, going into sub time. Can we get more than the 4 points they showed us in their first outing on the floor? Do you reckon Z, Booz, James and McInnis get tired of the ineffectiveness of the other players? Its just very common to look at the box score and see little other contributors on a regular basis.
Z with more rebs than points!!! and 4 blocks. Think Silas has had any effect on him? Makes it easier to ignore Silas bashers.
