Wow, I just hope this team can survive until Z returns. I don't like what I'm seeing at all. A bunch of confusion and its leading to LeBron vs 5 all over again.

The offense is inside out and it really does need Z to run correctly so I agree with you completely.

The Cavs must have a rep for whining a bit too much because the refs have been screwing the Cavs left and right for games now.

On the bright side of things, the defense has been great even shorthanded. Good thing the Cavs have made alot of threes though or we'd be in a tie game or worse. Varejao needs to be alot smarter than this though, some really dumb fouls on his part in this second quarter.

Let's just conclude the fact that refs are screwing many teams over except for Miami.

I'm not even sure of why Paul was upset on that play. That was all ball.

Up by 15 at the end of the first half. Sasha and Wally really came to play.

Wally and Sasha played one hell of a first half for us. Chris Paul losing his cool a little bit. Cavs by 15 at half.

I'm probably in the minority, but I'd like to keep Sasha. I just know he'd finally come around once we deal him. He's too good to be so inconsistant. Plus he's one of the few guards we have that we can count on him guarding the opposing teams big 2 guard. Wally is the centerpiece of any trade to improve the team, but you can tell he wants to stick around.

I really wish LeBron would get these same foul calls that players like Paul get. LeBron had to fall to get a foul call and he's being ridden 10 times harder than Paul was.

Maybe Sasha is finally getting it(not counting on that, but hoping for it). He's been very impressive, showing off the entire arsenal. Loved that move for the and1 against Peja. LeBron is 1 rebound and 3 assist shy of another triple double as well.

Jeez, it's just ridiculus the foul calls that LeBron does not get.

If Sasha can show up until West returns, then we might suggest keeping him.

Come on Cavs, can't let them get this under 10 before the fourth quarter. Killing us in the paint in the third off Paul's penetration.
