Oh my Its OT

119-120 :24 seconds

AJ drains a 3 for 35 pts off an in bounds from parker. CLE up 4 with :22 seconds. 119-123

Griffin shoots. In and Out. Hickson rebounds for his 14 of the night.

B Davis with the T and is rejected for his second T. Bobbie at the line. 119-126 with :13 to go.

AJ season high 35 pts.

THE CAVS WIN. THE CAVS WIN. THE CAVS WIN. THE CAVS WIN.

Its mayhem breaking out.

Seriously.. the scene in Cleveland tonight for that Win puts the confetti for the Wizards 1st Round playoff victory in 05 to shame.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Well if the Cavs lose to the LAC tonight, it going to be 0-27 run vs the Wiz 0-25 road record.

Place your bets. Place your bets.

Cavaliers ... won!?!??

They actually played well.

AJ, Gee and Booby

We don't stand a chance.


Hey, Hickson is starting to get it going. Wow, is he really playing center ?

Guess it is hard to win without a center in this league.

V out for the year with an ankle.

Mo is back, Hickson will dominate Blatche. The team also believes they can win now.

I'm going with Cavs by 15+

I think the cavs win increases our chances. No desperation, they won't be embarrassed as much to lose, and the emotional high of an OT win Friday night leaves them flat Sunday. I just wish we were playing them Saturday instead.

Yep, the monkey is off their back. We've still got our monkey. Is it a helpful monkey or a harmful monkey? Im not monkey expert so i guess we have to wait and see.

Who knows if we win any given game.

That said, I think your point is one track. Playing into OT to pull out a win after all those loses, it isn't likely they win back to back. after that. They will not be fighting as hard as the did to get that monkey off their backs. They have no center. McGee will likely go off on them. He loves to play against team with weak centers.

I'm sure a stat guy can work those numbers.

How often does a team win back to backs after losing.

0-10
10-15
15-20
20 plus in a row.

NJ and Minny probably ripped off some long losing streaks last year. Did either win back to back after that ?

So has a team ever gone from first place in the league to last in one season ? They have already lost 49 more games than last year.

That Cavs win ruined everything!

[JWizmentality]

We may not go 0-41...but 1-40 looks like a distinct possibility.

Another chance to make history? Nahh, the Wizards will screw that up too, ending 2-39.

[Kanyewest]

At what point do you guys start to give up stuff again? When they lose 10 in a row?
