Cleveland's Finest

Milwaukee is on fire, so I'm very nervous about this.

This is the game where the Cavs are trying to break the record for most people wearing a fleece blanket, all fans get Snuggies. Won't be able to watch this. We've been playing great and it's fun to watch with this fast paced offense. Go Cavs!

Nice to hear the Browns resigned Cribbs....good start to the offseason. Many draft picks so hopefully we can get a quarterback for the future in the draft.

MJ won his first ring at 28. LeBron is 25. Calm down.

A joke Cleveland isn't up there, seriously. 5-2 since we got Jamison. 5 straight specifically. Milwaukee got extremely better. Salmons is already going off and he was very quiet this year for Chicago. It's not just Dallas and then the other trades.....there were many good trades. Put Cleveland as an option, unless you think the Kings getting Landry is a huge franchise changingautomatic contender acquisition yet Jamison to Cleveland goes as "other".

LeBron, when he was in, just controlled everything in the game. Amazing game from him. No Delonte, Boobie, or Shaq and we came out with a nice victory. Good sign.

LeBron one assist away from a double double and the second quarter is under way....

Last year in the playoffs they were 5-1. (Of course I was able to go to all Cavs playoff games EXCEPT the historic buzzer beater....) This season, they are 9-3 at games I've gone to. The one loss I missed was the Denver game last week. Went to the first two games in which we lost vs. Boston and Chicago. The next game I went to was in December vs. Portland in which I saw the first win.

Bulls can beat Celtics, Bobcats can beat Cavs which would blow, and Blazers can beat Nuggets, Mavs, or Jazz.

Joined!

I don't get the point of it,just a number. Should've stuck with it...now everyone has to get a number 6 jersey in Cleveland even if they have a 23, but if this is what makes him more motivated then fine.

101-59 entering the third and we were up 47 at one point, but when the reserves came in NY got multiple and ones and made the game look not as bad. Solid game. Delonte had a huge night and had some nice dunks.

The Cavs gave him a chance after two year longs injuries and provided him a few lengthy contracts. They gave him a chance and didn't give up on him and rewarded him. He's coming back.

I turned on my ps3 before seeing this and tried signing on and it wouldn't. What does this mean? Can it be fixed?

Jack. When I see him play against the Cavs, he can score at will sometimes. He's such a playmaker, which is pretty unexpected. Depending on how Hedo does on the playoffs, he could be the major deal in the end.

When I see Pau afraid to take it to Z, I know something must be wrong. And if Bynum is unreliable, why has he been promoted as an All-Star candidate the past two years.

I hate this guy anyway, but it does make me cringe when I hear some of the ESPN guys put Dwight in the race for MVP. Even when the commentators say Durant should win it, it's sort of annoying. People overestimate what DH12 and Durant do statistically as opposed to what LeBron does for his team. It's Kobe/Bron then Durant at third and possibly now Melo in the race.

Twan can match up with Shard, am I saying he's a good defender? not really. However, he's got the size we didn't have last year Moon and Parker can also guard him...and as I said, as long as we get Shaq for the playoffs, meaning he's back by the ECF/2nd round to defend Dwight, I am not as worried. What does Z have to do with this? He is an asset against any team because he stretches the floor, making it hard when guys like Dwight, Perkins, etc...aren't used to guarding outside the paint. Z is also big if we do indeed meet with the Lakers in the finals. I truly believe that Shaq and Z intimidate Pau and Bynum after seeing how well they handled them in every facet of the game when we played them in LA.

Now all the Canadian players get to go back to the U.S. and collect their paychecks. I'm happy Canada won. After seeing how tragic they were after losing to the U.S. in the World Baseball Classic, they deserve this.

We need Shaq come playoffs. We got him to face the Magic, Celtics, and Lakers. 4-1 against La and Orl is because of him partly. I'm not as confident in getting the best record in the NBA anymore. However, during the regular season, we will now play at a faster pace, which is a plus for our team. Also, with no Shaq, that means Delonte, Mo, and Antawn will have more opportunities to score, which is good for them as we need them to settle in again. And RD, I don't think Shaq is as much a concern against Charlotte. Trust me, I've been nervous for weeks thinking about us being eliminated in the first round by Charlotte and then just like that it's all over. However, with the acquisition of Jamison, I am much more confident in being able to score against this team.

Seriously, I'm tired of this "waiting for the playoffs, we'll be fine when we get there" crap. 0-7 vs. LA, Dallas, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Orlando at home is pathetic. They did this last year, start amazing "get bored", and the injuries killed them come playoff time. I think they needed to make a bigger move. KG just doesn't look the same on his knee and if he doesn't get back to form, they might not even get home court advantage if the Raptors can keep winning.

Perfect timing via a bad scenario. Powe and Hickson will get more playing time and Verajao will start, getting more recognition. And when Z comes back he'll get to start a few weeks until Shaq gets back, which is also good. On Briand Windhorst, who reports for the Cavs, twitter, he said Shaq should be back by the 2nd round earliest around. Now I'm actually nervous....I didn't realize the severity here.

The Nuggets killed them both previous matchups....I was expecting the Lakers to come our with some intensity and determination to beat this team down and send a message. Intead they come out and are down 13 during the 3rd at one point. You can say they're the defending champs, but still I was expecting them to blow this team out and send a message now.

Doris Burke is so annoying!

Chauncey chucked up too many bad threes at the end. Melo's 6th foul was unfortunate, but since hey called Artest a lot while he was defending Melo they had to give a call the Lakers way in that scenario. I'm stunned the Nuggets dominated like this. I thought the Lakers would blow them out from the top.
