Cleveland's Finest

Nice 3 game winning streak all on the road. Mo has ignited and JJ has broken out of his shell. Very good signs after a rough start. We're 6-1 in our last 7.

Heat only in this because Wade has shot a million free throws. Their offense is terrible without him. Refs have given Wade a lot of cheap calls that made this game close. Cavs gotta play D.

The refs have called so many fouls on Mo that weren't fouls at all on him. Cavs need to keep up the D.

After last night I expect a good win. They got Shaq involved perfectly last night and he didn't play much in the 2nd half so he will have energy. JJ starting has helped us out so much.

The same Magic team that won a playoff series vs. Cleveland without Nelson; and Lee and Alston starting?

While you can say they didn't have Shard and Anderson, we didn't have Delonte. And the Magic beat us without Jameer last year and this year Mo looks much better than Jameer.

No....has fouling out really affected that many games? It's an aspect of the game that should not be removed. It's not like every game LeBron, Dwight, and Kobe are fouling out and the fans are begging for their money back.

This is everything I didn't expect. Wow....During the offseason however, this is what I hoped for. Mo 9 for 9....choking much? The Cavs have gotten a few unfair calls and the turnovers enhance it but their offense has been fantastic. Just gotta stop giving up wide open looks!

Impressive start. I like this offense a lot better with JJ just because he gives more room for LeBron and Shaq because he isn't supposed to be involved offensively. Mo shooting very well to start.

LA.....I'm from the mid west and closer to NY, but I hate New York.

Dude JJ's been terrible. He always turns it over and is too active if that's possible. He's only there because Andy coming off the bench provides much more fire power. Go Cavs!

What is with this known choker talk? Does one playoff series justify a player's rep? Mo played fine in the first two series, and has little playoff experience early in his career.

If you haven't figured out by now, he won't go for limited minutes. First in Detroit then in Memphis, I highly doubt Cavs management is this stupid.

Boy, next Monday is gonna be a joke. Browns/Ravens in Cleveland.....just gets worse from here on.

I don't know who's worse that thing Gil is with or Khloe k.

It looks like Denver is going to choke all over again an hand San Diego the division just like last year. Amazing.

This is the first time in awhile I actually expect the Cavs to lose by 30 plus and don't even mind it. I've lost the spirit from last year and now understand that this is a new team that isn't going to be as good as last year's. They had an unusual 4 day rest period, so they better come out fresh and have some offense instead of the usual dribble until 5 seconds left on the shot clock followed by a contested three.

The same thing could happen with Wade and LeBron playing in Cleveland along with Shaq and Mo.....if they take a lower pay I guarantee Shaq, D-Wade, and LeBron will win a title. Same w/Bosh, Mo, Shaq, and LeBron.

If the Cavs actually win this game then I'll be so crazy happy and won't be able to sleep.

I'm watching this on NBA TV. The arena is almost empty...is Philly really that bad?

So Dallas beat Philly, Philly beat New York, and New york beat Dallas. It's all evened up from there...so the division games to come between these 3 teams should be huge.

New Orleans was overrated coming into this year. They are a shell of a shell of themselves from 2 years ago. They won't make the playoffs imo....Paul just doesn't have the help he needs.

C - Zydrunas Ilgauskas PF - Larry Nance SF - LeBron James SG - Austin Carr PG - Mark Price Bench: Terrell Brandon Brad Daugherty Andre Miller (to me at least)

Wow...Orlando getting blown out? OKC and Houston will be two teams racing for the final playoff spots.

JJ Hickson isn't good just yet, but starting him allows Anderson Verajao to add some much needed energy off the bench which would help Z more as Z and JJ coming off the bench is a bad fit. JJ can be very sloppy and jumpy but I think he's got the work ethic to be a solid independent starter and a good role player. Verajao has had a fantastic start, so keeping him on the bench allows Mike to have more to work with when LeBron, Shaq, or Mo is out. I like this move.....will this be the answer to the offensive struggles?
