^Mrs Dan Dickau btw

- Sorry its a bit watered down today fellas. Ive been up since 4:45 and spent a looong day at the Cleveland Clinic with my Mom who was having surgery.
- The key to this game IMO is the big guys. Get Z going early and hope with all your heart that Drew Dumb Dumb can put up one of his great games.
- Having AV and Sasha out will hurt in this one. Portland is a deep deep team, but on the bright side both Hot Donny and Cedric the Entertainer Simmons are dressed tonight. :roll:

- Lets hope LeBreezy can carry us on to another big West Coast win.

B Mac's Gamethread Record:
6-1

Lets Go Cavs!!!

why doesn't anyone talk about the Roy for Foye trade during the draft that one year? that was a pretty big mistake

Starting out hot. Drew got a good look early. Not his biggest fan, but we need him some touches.. 4 shot attempts like last game isn't enough... Also, anyone see that sick crossover Hughes did early in this game? I was freaking out.

Dood. I really like this Larry Hughes... I cringe every time I praise him, because I fear he will either A) revert back to suckiness or B) shatter both legs or some other injury.

It was definately a "Oh Crap" moment. I agree with getting Drew some more looks. If he doesnt get them early on, he checks out for the rest of the game.

Well, lol, it didn't last very long. Tie game and we turn it over. Cavs got very jumpshot happy after the early lead. Attack the rim.

Yup. It was jack-a-jumper time. My favorite.

We have a Simmons sighting. We'll see what this kid has.. Nice finish Z!

Anyone care to guard Blake tonight?

anyone not gunna foul?

Honestly, this team looks COMPLETELY different without Anderson. Taking out Sasha too, kills our team.

Post #15 » by **TheOUTLAW** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 2:35 am

The Cavs had difficulty with this team even last year because of their athleticism and length. If their going to keep hitting 3's like this we have no chance.

As easy as it would be to blame the refs, which Portland is getting many touch calls in the first quarter. You can see the difference Varejao and Pavlovic make on the defensive end. The ball movement on offense also, is very unlike hte past few games where we played well.

Big hit by Boobie to bring it back to 9 at the end of 1.

As I always say, we can't win shootouts. It's not our game. We have to play some defense and we're doing a terrible job at that so far.

LoveThemCavs · Post #19 » by **LoveThemCavs** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 2:40 am

We're still gonna win this game. Our defensive rotations have to do the job though to get it done. I really do like Portland, their team is full of young talent. I wish we could surround LeBron with similiar talent. BTW, did Donyell play last game? I noticed he's in gear tonight.
