That was a stupid line up that we had in there for 4 or 5 minutes. Sitting Boozer and Lebron for extended periods of time at the same time in the 4th of a close game is not smart Silas. This isn't looking too optimistic. We are making too many mistakes and not taking this game very seriously.
Things are slipping away. Officating stinks eric williams keeps getting fouled and we have no calls on him. How long will lebron sit? there is 5 something remaining and he still isnt there and we down by 5.
This is slipping away. No consistency. Z cant buy a hoop. I'm really frustrated trying to watch this!
when yao knocks down a 20 footer as the shot clock expires, things are getting grim. if we are gonna get this 1, we need stops and better shot selection.
Has Z turned into Mutumbo??? Blocks shots but cant shoot to save himself!!! James, Wags and McInnis need to be aggressive!
Z needs to get a hand up quicker on Yao's fadeaways. I don't know why he doesn't have his hand up the whole time, its like Yao is going to cross him over and blow by him. How does Boozer get 10 boards in the first and then only 5 over the next 3 quarters? That offensive put back by Weatherspoon could be a back breaker. Looks like Weatherspoon is the next in the long line of "Big Men Who Aren't Good, but Destroy the Cavs" club.
Unfortunately Spoon is the match winner here. Out hustling Booz in the 4th! Noone really stepping up anywhere!
We got a game down 2 with 1:28 left It's time to grab a damn rebound and not give JJ open looks from deep.
alright boys, its clear to everyone watching this game that houston does not wanna put you away, lets just get a stop here, and get another bucket, what an ugly game, but at the same time, what a good finish we have brewing here, if im houston im going straight to yao, or isolating for mobley, not francis. GO CAVS, get it done
Wagner had a nice little fall down for no apparent reason, get tied up, not even jump for the jumpball, and then give up the 3 point play on the other end series. Cavs need to hit the defensive glass. They are forcing some missed shots, but the Rockets keep getting two chances. We're not going to win doing that.
Jeff has been clutch of late. Hope he is OK. Time for LeBron or Z to do something positive in this game!
can we please put someone on mobley that he cant back down. damn paul's matchups this evening have just been strange, and illogical. not giving up yet though
Cat Mobley hit a big shot.... that was actually very good team defense by the Cavaliers.... Cuttino hit a tough fall-a-way. We must get a bucket here.
Our luck it looks is all gone!!! Boozer sitting in the fourth instead of Z is interesting! Who can come up with the play at both ends!!! They are in the penalty so we need to attack!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting redscoon:</div><div class="quote_post">Why the hell is Wagner in? He cost us this game down the stretch. Damn it.</div> He also kept us in it.
Kapono time I guess!!! Need the three! Cant believe he only seen 4 minutes because of a defensive breakdown!
