Cleveland's Finest

Story of the Game: 19-36 from the line.

Now is when you take out Shaq.....for christ sakes the free throws Mike Brown.

He's clutch...remember he made like 5 straight jumpers in the 4th quarter vs. LAL.

Geesh....I thought Billups was gonna win the game there....

MVP MVP MVP King James DEEP IN THE Q!

DAMN WHY IS SHAQ IN???? Watch in a second he'll get a useless foul or miss a bunnie.

Damn, why the hell is JJ out there? Gibson/West/Parker/James/Verajao is what works now. First he ruins it by putting in Shaq and now JJ. LBJ got a no call again...

70-80 at least....since when it 16-27 good?

There you go....Verajao making the big play.

If the Cavs weren't shooting 60% from the line we'd be up by 8 to 11 around.

Good add on RD. Will probably make one myself.

Terrible....shouldn't have put Shaq in.

4 blocks, 15 asst, 11 reb....amazing. And Mo is being so underlooked by these announcers like he's some subpar role player....8 points this quarter.

He had 4 fouls.

MO GOTTI for 3! Finally he scored...

That first half was the ugliest basketball I've seen from the Cavs...they were flat, but that's to be expected. Their offense now clicking....great 3rd quarter.

No Antawn....but MO IS BACK! Coming off the bench...talk about a surprise...

Ended 10 minutes after I posted...should be on cavs.com later tonight...on Cavs.com they have Danny Ferry/Mike Brown conf. up though.

Besides maybe Butler, Cleveland got the best player right now of all the players available, and at the same time, once they get Ilgauskas back, they will have given up the least for most.

How stupid is Utah.....this is a chance to compete for the West and they trade Brewer? He was a bright spot in their future, I thought.

I don't think he's playing because Cavs.com said he may make his debut tomorrow at Charlotte. Very, very nervous about this game, but then I remember: it's Cleveland and it's at home. Still nervous because you know the Nuggets will play inspired...unfortunate we get them their first game since Karl's announcement.

So far, we've gotten Mo, Shaq, and Antawn for Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, Damon Jones, a 1st rounder, and Z (who we'll get back, and we got Joe Smith back in the Mo deal) LeBron won't leave with such good management in Ferry.

AV started for us when the season began and we started terribly. AV provides so much spark off the bench, and since we started JJ which was I think when we played our road game at New York, we are 40-8.

Why would he? Kobe and Z are the only active players to have been with the same team the longest, which puts in perspective how long he's been here. Why wouldn't he want to come back....we are obviously a contender and he has a connection to the city. If he went to some mediocre/average playoff team, it just wouldn't make sense. He's planning on retiring this year. What better a way than to go out after being a part of Cleveland's first title in years. His number will be retired here, he's special to this team, he isn't going elsewhere.
