So far no predicting a Cavaliers win. I'd love to go out on a limb and predict a Cavs victory, but I'd only be lying to myself. Duncan will get his tonight. The key is limiting Parker and Ginobili, both at the perimeter and their penetration. Easier said then done! Look for some nice things from McInnis tonight. Lets get in on! What a horrendous start from both teams. This sort of game gives us some hope. Also dont mind Newble starting! Williams is so much better off the bench. Nice move Silas.
Is it me, or does James make Bowen look like a shrimp out there? <font size="1">PS: KarmaCav, you can add more to your previous post if you are the last one to post in that thread by clicking on the "Edit" tab.</font>
Thanks King!!!! Isn't it great to see James hounding the boards. He needs to stay involved like that, and help initiate the break. Ugly start continues. 5 turnovers already! We need to be as efficient as we can as the Spurs can play bad and win, unlike us! James 10 / 6. Nice
Cavs up 14/13 after one James has 10 points and 6 boards on 5-8 shooting. Nothing else worth talking about, ha.
Finally, we see Lebron getting back to crashing the boards. He should be able to outrebound his matchup every single night. We've needed help on the boards lately as we have allowed way too many offensive boards to little guys sneaking into the lane. Z doing a nice job staying with Duncan and making him shoot difficult shots with a hand in his face. Once again, we play down to a good opponent when they are struggling. Kapono in to start the 2nd quarter, looks like Silas is finally listening to me...
This matchup with Boozer on Duncan, shows how Boozer will never be a go to guy! There will be matchups against the weaker teams (in the frontcourt) where Booz can be dangerous. But against premier and fast power forwards, his offensive output severely diminishes. He is great but no team MVP.
Why are we running plays for Williams to shoot it? Let's post him up, my goodness. 20/15 Cavs 837 left in the 2nd
Has Wagner turned into Diop???? 3 fouls in 6 minutes with no sign of any offense. Nice spurt there by Z before he sat to give us a lttle buffer!
The key to this game is LeBron's aggressive moves to the hoop. LeBron has a pattern of taking it to the hoop for a couple games, then settling back into taking jumpers again. Problem is, he's much, much more efficient taking it to the hole. Bruce Bowen's one of the best defenders, correct? Well, LeBron's been blowing by him at will in the first half.
LOL@Karma Pickin' on my boy, Diop. He's the next Shaq, baby! When he came into the league, he said his dream was to one day dunk on Shaq. Well, we're still waiting, and waiting, and waiting...
6:29 left in the 2nd quarter and Duncan scores his first points. The Cavaliers have been hounding him.
How funny that we are winning with only 3 scorers! Oh Battie makes it 4! Amazing what a bit of hustle can do for a side! Better subbing by Silas tonight. And Sky...... I have plenty of ammunition when picking on "your boy" Diop.
I agree, good to see James in the 2nd quarter early (came back at about the 8 and a half mark) That was a time when we would struggle big time.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Skywzrd:</div><div class="quote_post">OMG... LeBron... wow</div> That play was amazing!
Sky.... Have you noticed again on the ESPN board its nothing but trolling. Including Yizee. I so close to officially shutting myself away from there!

Yeah, I saw that, Karma. I find the LeBron hating especially funny, on a night when LeBron is embarrassing one of the league's best defenders.
