________Simple Keys to the Game________

- Limit the turnovers.
- Feed it to Shaq and Jamison.
- Play West more than Parker.
- Give Moon some playing time.
- Make your damn free throws.
- Bench will need to step it up.
- Make the simple play. No contested 30 footers with 20 seconds left on the shot clock..
- Show them who is the best defensive team in the NBA.




Maybe we can see some of this...

or we can witness a little bit of this..

Had to make a quick one. Going to be busy tomorrow.

Well another dumb move by Mike Brown was not playing Leon Powe last night. At least give him some burn to get his feet wet before sending him into an emotional game at Boston.

Some of you guys like to criticize a bit too much. Brown has at least had the chance to see Powe in practice, that's more than anyone here has been able to do.

I would throw Powe out there against BOS. I bet he had this game on his calendar throughout his rehab. Even if he only plays well in short minutes, I bet he would bust it 110% out there in this one.

Jamison and Lebron were starting to show some chemistry already in the NO game and Jamison also seems to be opening things up for Shaq. Look at Shaq's FG% in the last 2 games - he is shooting like 80% with Jamison starting.

Actually LBJ/Jamison/Shaq have played well 2 games in a row now.

Just need to get Mo or Delonte going to balance the front-court production.

What was Parker's FG last night? Honestly how come Delonte isn't starting?

Ironically, Parker shot 57% last night.

I will address all the above posts in regards to Powe:

Powe will pay tonight. There is no way THIS organization, would allow him not to play against his former team. That is why I wish he would have played last night, to get his feet wet.

Yeah, the Cavs have no shot then. Man, I swear i wish every team we'd play had all their players. We just never beat shorthanded teams.

Keep in mind about Paul Pierce (when thinking he's gonna be out)

Hopefully, the Cavs can end their 10 game losing streak at their home floor.. Just keep in mind that Boston is a much better team on the road than they are at home.

Pierce and Daniels are out, so that won't be a fair game, and thus is not important.

Excuses already.

Boston will have trouble making it out of the first round. If they do, the Magic will sweep.

Maybe not to Boston, but this is a game that Cleveland needs to win regardless.

What's the season series at? The only game I can think of is the first of the season where Boston beat you. In all likelihood your team will probably face off against Boston in the 2nd round in which case there will be a TON of star power! Gl guys
