Not only is Sasha going to play tonight he will be starting. This ought to be interesting considering he'll be guarding Vince and hasn't played in a while.

Yea definately surprising to hear Sasha is starting tonight. I think it's obvious we've needed his defensive presence though on the perimeter since trading Hughes. Now if we can just get Gibson and Ilgauskus back soon. Not much time left for these guys to figure each other out.

Ben isn't playing tonight? Just seen Joe Smith in the starting lineup.

Wallace is out and the Cavs start out slow and sloppy

LeBron needs to go offense in this game. They are definitely starting out slowly being down 11-3 so far

The Nets with 2 and ones in the first 3 + minutes. That's just poor defense.

It's remarkable how terrible the Cavs are so far. Nobody can make any of the numerous wide open shots and they are turning the ball over alot. # wide open 3's have come up way short.

Nets haven't even missed a shot yet. What the hell are the Cavs doing? This is pathetic.

The Cavs have not come up to a single loose ball. Not one. Even the ones that they aren't even in the position to get.

Beautiful pass by LeBron to Sasha who promptly walks

Is the score indicitive of how bad you're playing or are the shots not falling? What's happening?

Open shots aren't falling but the Cavs are flat out getting outplayed. Seriously the only loose ball they came up with was saved to them by a Nets player. They are just slow and the Nets can't miss.

God damn it, the Cavs should at least be able to salvage the series. It looked like a revenge game seeing as how they lost in their 2 previous meetings.

A bit of both.. The Nets are making everything and our shots are in and out right now. Right now, I'm just waiting on number 23 to get pissed off and take the ball every time.
