Game 42: Cavs @ Jazz - Sat, Jan 24, 9:00pm

[TheOUTLAW]

Utah is missing 2 of it's pf's (while the other is still putting up 24 & 15). Sure those guys would have made a difference, but I"m not sure it'd be a greater difference than the Cavs 2 starters. The Cavs starters completely outplayed Utahs starters last night. It was the Cavs bench that kept letting Utah back into the game. It really would have been nice to be able to have Varejao, Sasha coming off the bench and playing against bench players rather than starting. Not to mention the fact that we were getting killed on the boards all night and Z would have helped quite a bit in that respect.

Just thinking about this, the Cavs had alot more excuses to use if they'd loss. This was the second game of a back to back at the end of a road trip. Are you kidding me?

Some thoughts after last nights game (was using computer to watch it so I didnt post then).
1) Great win in Utah- a really tough place to win at
2) That follow up dunk by JJ early was DIRTY
3) JJ hit a long jumper in the corner to finish the 3rd- I am really impressed with his range. He has a lot of work to do, but I like his potential a lot. He could definitely play a role in a championship run.
4) Andy played very good last night. I was impressed when he tried to draw a charge (I think it was against Okur) with 5 fouls and about 5-6 minutes of play left. In the end I think it was a no-call.
5) Mo had a very slow start but really played well in the 2nd half. He has been everything I expected him to be and more. He is becoming a very reliable second option.
6) Overall we played a very good game minus the 2nd quarter. Lebron was out for awhile and I think they lost a bit of focus.
Lastly, great win against a very good team, we need to keep it rolling. 2 days off and then we got the Kings at home on the 27th, followed by Orlando on the road on the 29th. Lebron and the crew could use some rest. These days off are real huge.
