Cavaliers with a 40 point lead. Damn. Geez we are inconsistent! Brings back memories of that 60 odd point win over Miami almost decades ago!
112/80 Cavs win Not even close from start to finish. Box Score Wizards are killing the Raptors too, much needed help.
Does that mean we won by 42!!! Cant be right! Wow! I'll think of some more words when I get my chin off the floor!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting KarmaCav:</div><div class="quote_post">Does that mean we won by 42!!! Cant be right! Wow! I'll think of some more words when I get my chin off the floor!</div> That's a 32 point win. I know your probably more familar with the metric system and all but its ok.... we will work with you. I'm kidding! Hell of a blowout win!
10 points and 4 boards for Nailon! Not a bad debut! Is Newble still nursing that injury or back in the dog house? LOL My bad maths! Its been a long day, and I got a bit excited! Thanks for the correction CBBI, KJ. I'm embarressed!
The Cavs finally stayed on someone from start to finish. Raptors got torched by the Wiz, but it appears the Knicks are going to beat the Sixers. Nailon looked strong off the bench. He's got a decent outside jumper and he can put the ball on the floor. Big games this weekend. We seem to match up well with the Hornets and the Bucks are a poor road team. Need to take at least one of these.
I liked the dunks by James, the rebounding dominance by the Cavaliers, the spark provided by Nailon, Silas using a regular rotation tonight that let the bench play consistent and timed minutes, and the win! A few minor things I noticed: 1) James was fouled on a few shots that could have been "and one" plays but got no call (like the lefty lay up he hit but fell on the ground afterwards) 2) Wagner seemed more confident, dunking a ball on the fast break that he would normally lay up, which drew a chuckle from James watching on the bench (happy to see Wagner be aggressive). 3) Battie gave solid rebounding and presence tonight.
Lee was certainly Nailonem them tonight!!! My apologies for the bad attempted humour. Feel a little strange after that smashing! Great just to see Z, James and Boozer getting to watch the game without the game being taken away. A nice change! CLEVELAND (AP) -- On his bobblehead night, LeBron James again left everyone shaking their heads. Cleveland's high-flying rookie scored 24 points in three quarters and Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 17, and the Cavaliers rolled to a 112-80 win Wednesday night over the Atlanta Hawks. The surging Cavaliers, who entered the night one game out of the eighth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, have won five of their last seven. A sellout crowd of 20,562 came to Gund Arena for the bobblehead giveaway as the first 10,000 fans through the door received the tiny statues of James. The other 10,000 fans who didn't get the hot collectible didn't leave disappointed, however, as James led the Cavaliers to their most lopsided win this season over the Hawks, who a night earlier upset the Los Angeles Lakers. continued... http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2004030305&prov=ap
It was nice to see the Cavs keep a team down and not let them back in the game. It's hard to believe the Hawks beat the Lakers last night. Who the hell is Hiram Fuller? They do have some stiffs on their team. Everyone played well tonight. Diop was all over the boards in his time on the floor. I hope Nailon keeps up this type of effort every night. He can be a real help if he does.

Hey King James... ^^^ Look up to my last post! Atlanta had no depth and finally we took advantage of teams weaknesses and stopped those mediocre players from being effective! This game also confirmed my affair with Stephon Jackson will go on!
Jackson would be a solid addition and could proabably be signed for less than some other players. he can really hit the outside shot which we need badly but he's also pretty solid in all other areas too. It will probably be easier to bring in that other big timer after next season so Jackson could fill in nicely for now. Did anyone see the quote from Jamal Mashburn during the game and Michael Reghi commenting how Mashburn can opt out after next season and how he and Silas get along really well. Wonder if he wants to come to Cleveland after next year?
Jackson is an alright player.... I wouldn't mind him in a Cavaliers jersey next season but he just oozes STOPGAP.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting CBBI:</div><div class="quote_post">Jackson is an alright player....

We need a shooter on the wing who is versatile. I dont think we require a 20ppg player if James grows into a 25ppg guy! Jackson is capable of 15-18ppg quite easily and combined with James, Z and Boozer in the starting 5, we are a nice offensive team! Thats my view! I believe we are overestimating the need for another "star" player! KJ: point taken! Cheers
I'm not as high on Jackson as some of you are. He basically was standing out on the perimeter the whole time. Granted, he knocked down shots, but he looked more like a Wes Person. Someone who can hit from outside, but thats about all you get. I know he has more to his game than that, but I'd still much rather get Brent Barry in here. Brent Barry has a better all around game and can create for himself and others.
To me Barry is on his downward spiral. Seems to be getting injured a bit now! I like his game but I think he will come at a cost at the wrong time of his career. Great fit 2-3 years ago!
Entertaining win for the Cavs. James gave everyone their moneys worth tonight bobbling his head down the court after each great play.
