Thanks for the video link!

Shaq doesn't give any cheap fouls...he's going to hurt someone like he did on Felton and another time on Henderson. Nice exhibition game where everyone got to play.

Cavs give glimpse of LeBron-Shaq marriage, depth in preseason debut

CLEVELAND -- The most ominous glimpse of what is to come this season took place in a blink -- a pass to LeBron James that he instantly volleyballed to the far side of the basket while Shaquille O'Neal spun out of the post and behind his defender to bank in the alley-oop layup. "That was just two basketball players making a read,'' said James after he made his debut with his large and elder sidekick. "For the first game I thought we played pretty well as a team, and me and Shaq definitely played pretty well together. It shouldn't be hard for the both of us -- we both know how to play and we both know how to win.'

"If Delonte doesn't play, they've got Anthony Parker,'' said Bobcats coach Larry Brown with envy. "If Shaq doesn't play, they've got [former All-Star center Zydrunas] Ilgauskas. If LeBron doesn't play, you've got God.'

LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal get in a little teamwork as Cavaliers win exhibition opener, 92-87, over Charlotte Bobcat

Numerous times they played a two-man game in sets, setting up pick-and-roll plays or alley-oops. Other times they worked together off the ball, once O'Neal setting a screen so James could get free to catch a pass in the post. On one pick-and-roll, James lobbed the ball into O'Neal for a layup, another time James fed O'Neal a cross-court lob that drew a foul.

"If you take your body off Shaq, LeBron's going to make the pass and it's going to be a dunk or a foul," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "Shaq knows how to play and how to pass and Andy knows how to pass and they both move well off the ball, I think we'll see that often."

Other than the two superstars there were some other positives for the Cavs. Most notably J.J. Hickson, who continues to have perhaps the best training camp of anyone on the roster. Moving well and showing force, he piled up 15 points in 17 minutes off the bench. He made six of nine shots and grabbed a team-high five rebounds. He is making it seem like he's got a spot in the rotation locked down in just the second week.
