Again, I think that is a mischaracterization of what happened. I don't think we took the night off. I saw NY go with energy for a monster dunk. I saw DS on the sidelines cheering the team on. I saw effort from BH. They just outsized up and that caused a lot of pressure to our normal advantages.

I think if we played them again tomorrow with the same line ups, pretty much the same things would happen.

Our standard line up work well against most teams but against a team designed the way CLE is, it isn't likely to work until we change up the line ups. We have the players to do it.

The question goes to, who are you designed to beat? Do you just want to be good or do you want to be great? Can you adjust your line ups to match up against a team like Cleveland who is big across the board?


I must have watched a different game than you Hands. I saw the Cavs repeatedly beat the Wizards in transition. Even Igauskas beat our guards back for an easy lay up. I saw Hughes waltz down the lane for a dunk while Caron and Antwan were in position to help but just watched. I watched us shoot quick jumpers without any passing at all. And I saw the Cavs beat the Wizards to every loose ball and rebound. Flat out, the Wizards did not show up last night. I don't think any line-up changes would have affected what happened last night.

Pavlovic is now out 6-8 weeks. Sucks for them, they were just rolling through teams.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, buddy.

You weren't the only person suggesting Blatche and Haywood together (which has indeed been successful in a very small sample size). Basically, everybody is interested in seeing it for stretches against big lineups so long as Blatche can stay out of foul trouble.

And the Butler at SG idea has not been successful. The team is +6.0 per 48 minutes with Butler at SF. They are just +3.1 per 48 with Butler at SG.


Wow, is that what I said or what I did? I wasn't thinking that when I responded.

Come on nate. Your a mod.

I was replying to a post where someone said they didn't think my idea would work. I guess you have never referenced an idea you had? And when you did, were you saying you were only one that thought it? I doubt you were.

I'm hardly the only one here who references ideas they have had, is repetitive or that has long posts once in a while.

I see more then a few posters who like to take personal attacks at people yet nothing happens. The last thing I would expect is for a mod to do it.

I just want to chat about my home boys. I don't want to get into these personal exchanges.

Sorry to hear he got hurt, but too bad for the Wizards he didn't go down a bit earlier.

He broke down the defense and got to the hole for layups, and also had 4 assists in the early part of the first. Pavlovic really hurt the Wiz before he went out.

Otoh, he's had a truly lousy season. In the 2 other Cavs games I've seen this season, he's taken lousy shots and was anything but a team player. He actually passed against the Wiz - which changed him from a terrible player to an effective one.

So now, the Cavs should make a real strong push to get Bibby - if they can. And they should go to Gibson more - dude can flat out shoot.

What in Nate's post constitutes a personal attack?

I disagree. Maybe you could try backing up your assertion with facts.
