Game 79 | Cavs at Bulls | Apr 8th 2010 | 8:00pm EST

At least we wont have to deal with Raptor fans for a whole playoff series.

Sweeping them would have been fun tho

edit: hahah reading the Raps board is great. Don't blame the Cavs or Stern, blame your own damn team for not winning games.

Well, the Raptors don't have Bosh and the Bulls are just flat out terrible...

Perhaps they should just let us have a bye into the 2nd round instead of playing 4 scrimmages....

I am actually pissed at this loss.

As am I. I hate losing especially games that we give away. We should have won even without LeBron.

That being said, are you kidding me saying that Varejao choked? Are you kidding me? Varejao should never be in the position to have to win a game with a jump shot. We just didn't have enough potential scorers on the floor. Mo was it. Jawad was playing like crap and while Moon had a good game he's not really a threat in that type of situation.

[TheOUTLAW]

The Cavs were actually out shot percentagewise for the first time in about 30 games. No way should Chicago be shooting almost 52% against us. That's just embarrassing.

To be fair he missed two relatively wide open shots from the elbow. I know he doesn't have range, but come on.

[L&H_05]

AV panics in those situations...

He could have called a TO first and foremost but in terms of the play, he should have looked for the contact instead of trying to avoid it--or he should have drove the ball when he was wide open or passed it...

Thanks for resting Lebron guys. You showed us that you are a legit playoff team even w/o Lebron.

Given that the Cavs had nothing to play for and the Bulls everything, you could certainly make that case.
Of course we didn't just rest LeBron...C- O'Neal, PF - Powe, SF - James, SG - West, PG - Gibson...all sat. It would appear we might be a legitimate playoff team while sitting an entire second legitimate playoff team, lol.

[TheOUTLAW]

LOL, my money is that the team that we rested would have beaten the Bulls.

[kiwibrindle]

I think Av should take lessons from Noah's shooting coach. More ugly less misses.

Why did Powe even sit? He's not injured afaik, and he could have been used to give Jamison less minutes....

You are wrong in thinking you won't have to deal with Raptor fans. In TO, suddenly your team is considered in the same dark light as the 19th century city it calls home. One person speaking here, but I have gone from someone who liked the Cavs to someone who despises them. Can hardly wait till the favour is returned.

No idea what you're talking about but it sure does sound menacing.
Good post, lol.

With Lebron, Shaq, Jamison and Mo Williams out, I was suprize that we kept the lost down to 3 points in.
