Here's to hoping I can say this before the Game starts:

Happy birthday IT

Not happy that IT is on the floor right now. They better hope he doesn't get hurt.

Happy birthday IT

Sadly, I had to lock the happy birthday thread because it quickly became a troll fest.

yep makes me think absolutely noone wants him.

[jbk1234]

Every time Cedi plays I wonder why he doesn't get more run.

[afarmenian]

Derrick Rose has been horrific, just as bad as IT since he came back.

[Stillwater]

Who hasn't played besides the usual? Answer: nobody except Wade who we knew wasn't playing.so much for holding players out due to trades.
Gonna be a busy morning I guess

[Stillwater]

Maybe they want to lose, IT3 too much liability defensively to be in there in this close of a game
This o for d for o swapping is too disruptive just leave Cedi in there

[Stillwater]

Best we've played in awhile good sign,great win for moral. Just didn't like IT getting end of game minutes right now esp as huge as Osman was tonight.

[jbk1234]

We still really need to improve our back court defensively. We can't bank on shooting like this from 3 point range every night.

Cleveland may not of been playing well lately; but tonight was a testiment of why no playoff team would want to face the Cav's in first round....with Lebron Cav's will always be dangerous.
