    True, but I think Newble is playing for that fact that he has more experience starting over KB. Kedrick was never given the chance in Boston. He gets traded then all of a sudden he is our starting 2 guard. He was probably to worried about impressing the coach with his shooting, that he doesn't even think about driving the lane. Hopefully training camp will take care of that.

    I wouldn't mind having Kedrick as the starting 2 next season with LeBron sliding over to the 3.

    Maybe with Jameer Nelson at the point?

    I'm almost certain that the Cavs ride Newble as much as they do simply to justify his contract.

    How did he shoot 38% from 3 point range last year? I can't even recall seeing him attempt one this year off the top of my head.

    I remember a few..... and they aren't pretty. Newble's jumper makes you want to do this [​IMG]

    Yeah, I think I remember him taking one at the end of a game.......everyone in the room just yelled "NOOO" all at once, it was spooky.

    Wade and Lebron fighting for the playoff spots? I love it

    Didn't expect them to do doing this in their rookie seasons but still, great to see.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting KarmaCav:</div><div class="quote_post">With some good results tonight, we should be at worst 2 1/2 games behind Miami for 8th.

    Tonight makes you believe, but consistency has been a concern. Our inabilty to take advantage of other teams (Duncans poor night, Weakened Laker) keeps that elusive 8th seed just out of reach!

    Can we start a roll after this confidence booster??? [​IMG]</div>

    Yes, beginning in the Garden tomorrow.

    Miami blew out the Nuggets as Wade owned the entire Denver roster.

    Bostons got the living hell beat out of them by Portland, having a 22-0 lead to start the game and they will have their 34th loss, tied with the Cavs and 76ers (but we don't have the wins of course)

    Talk about tight, the time for a run is NOW.

    Hey everyone, im making the prediction that thecvs aregoing to the playoffs. im sticking to my prediction! actually i've been saying the cavs are going to the playoffs ever since the week after we got mcinnis. look at the facts, 3 wins in a rown vs 3 playoff contenders. in a row! the cavs look like they have the heart and they are playing togather now. i dont care if we get the 8th seed, we can give indiana some problems. look at position by position in that matchup. im pumped!!!! the crowd is really giving the cavs a puch, reminds me of richfield now. lets go cavs!!!!!

    Back on topic here.....

    Seed, record, games back, head to head

    6: New York, 26-31, 15.5, 3-0
    7: Toronto, 25-30, 15.5, 0-2
    8: Miami, 25-33, 17, 1-1
    9: Cleveland, 23-34, 18.5
    10: Philadelphia, 23-34, 18.5, 3-0
    11: Boston, 23-35, 19, 1-3

    Really looking good for us, I expect Boston to fall way behind and out of the picture, same for Toronto with all their injuries. Phili has to finish with a better record than us because we hold the tie breaker. With Miami it is all up to the health of Wade, if he goes down again, so do the Heat.

    Have at it people.

    GAMES TO WATCH TONIGHT.

    7:30 PM ET
    Toronto 25-30 (Away: 11-17)
    New Jersey 34-20 (Home: 19-8)

    7:30 PM ET
    Philadelphia 23-34 (Away: 10-19)
    Atlanta 18-38 (Home: 11-16)

    Jersey SHOULD win at home against Toronto, putting us only 2.5 out of SEVENTH and maybe Atlanta's new guys can ride the emotion of being traded and win this game against Philly (who will be without Iverson)

    I think both games will end up in Cavs favor, Toronto will lose, so will Philadelphia do.
    If it happens, I'll be writing a thank you-list to Atlanta and New Jersey [​IMG]

    Toronto will lose, but I think the Hawks will have a difficult time beatting the 76er's

    they took a hot Yao Ming and his Rockets to a triple overtime 2-3 point lose, so I think Atlanta can beat 76ers this time, their team seems to have good team chemistry now, the have only Jason Terry as a star now.

    But don't lets get to much out off topic now!
