When we stop them again and again and again and fail to get the rebound, what do you call that?
We didn't really "blow up" with stupid turnovers at the end, but when you hold a team to 38% and shoot 55%...
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO WIN THOSE GAMES!

Well, we played better than I thought we would...
Keys to the loss:
Cavs defense
Devin Brown (yeah... I've never gotten why people call him a "scrub". Just ignorance. Considering how he's made a career for himself as an effective rotation player in this league. Oh, and won a championship with the Spurs in 2005. As well being with them 1 or 2 of the previous seasons.)
Varejao
Rebounding
Definitely loved how Justin played in each of his two stints. On both ends. Mostly positive stuff out there, and really, any regular game experience is good for him. Once again, it was incredibly fresh and fun to see him playing, and just a young athletic big guy out there. This guy needs to play more.
Salmons continues to play good basketball
Garcia was fairly good
Beno was solid, he's definitely a pretty steady guard
Brad played very well, Moore seems like he had an up and down game.
As a whole, nice showing from this team considering the situation... Cavs still have to address some issues.

even with the lost of 4 legit nba starters this team seems like always ready to compete and play hard on any given night, this is why i think Reggie theus and his coaching staff deserve lots of credit.

Must be true, if it's a rumor you read on Hoopshype.

Justin F'n Williams!
John F'n Salmons!
For the first time in a long while I am excited by some of what this team is doing. I think we will be alright with these guys along with Beno, Kevin, Spencer, etc. Even Brad for as long as he is here. I could get behind the team we saw tonight, there are a lot of growing pains but there is something here.

Similar, and put up similar stats in college, except that Justin pulled down about twice as many boards per game. As KF10 alluded to, I'd say he is a little bit more like a Ben Wallace whereas Sean Williams is a Theo Ratliff type.

Yeah...Also, he really needs to improve his Fts... He just have to....
