Just think about this..we are only going to get better!! 

Post#1 » by SportsInfoBar » Wed Dec 10, 2008 1:41 pm

A lot of experts may be saying we are playing over our heads...but that is just not true...actually if you look at it Lebron has not shot the ball all that well yet!! I know he is at 49%, but with the amount of dunks he gets, this should be higher...his jump shooting and 3 pt shooting are actually down from last year, when those go up to where they should be(I couldn't find what his 2 point jump shooting percentage is, can anyone find this?, but his 3 point percentage is now at 25%)...Lebron has improved everywhere else, especially on D...

Add in the fact that Boobie shot so poorly at the beginning of the year and Hickson and Jackson will just keep getting better....And I know some of you don't like him, but Sasha is playing really well right now. Last 5 games, 47% from the floor, 50% from three..and some solid D and those big shots against the Bucks.

I am really hoping we do not make a trade. We have very good chemistry as a team right now, and I just don't want to see us upset that. I hope Joe Smith gets bought out and comes back, but that is about all the additions I think we should make.

And I went to my first game this year last night...and man you don't get the full appreciation for just how FAST Lebron moves unless you see it live...TV does not do it justice.

I agree with you at this time it looks like no major trade needs to be made.Joe Smith would be a great pick-up. To me the key is Sasha( who when on is 1 peice we really need ), the defensive big guard, in play-offs we could get burned by big guards with Mo, Delonte & Boobie. So if we could somehow get Joe without messing with our chemisty this team will go deep into play-offs.

LBJ is carrying a team himself. I don't think Mo Williams or West really changed the game for him.

But LBJ's supporting cast looked like they have found their roles.

LBJ is not carrying this team by himself.

When you blow out a team by 30+ points with LeBron playing less than 20 minutes, you have a team. LeBron hasn't played many games over 35 minutes. Last year he damn near played every minute of the first half. So that tells you we have a team, and LeBron isn't carrying it. When LeBron is on the bench, we play excellent ball.

4 quotes in a row.

You should really watch the Cavs play and see how we are still blowing teams out even when LeBron is not in the game.

Those kind of comments are obviously from people that don't watch the games.
