The Cavs open their home schedule against the Bobcats looking to get their first win of 2008/09. There is obviously no love-loss between LeBron James and Larry Brown and James loves to shove in Brown's face eery chance he gets. The Bobcats were winless in the pre-season, and it would be nice for the Cavs to put the 'Cats out of their misery early before a tough two-game roade trip to New Orleans and Dallas this weekend.

They're looking good so far
It was nice to see Hickson in there even if he hasn’t done anything yet.
That was nice. Nice to see somebody besides LeBron going aggressively at the hoop.

Yeah, they need it bad
They’ll be much more effective if they can keep getting that from him. They desperately need some young legs inside.
Just so anyone reading knows, You can watch league pass for free till Nov. 11
So you can get the game even if it’s not on your regular channels
Williams is looking very good
They finally have someone to score while LeBron is on the bench. It’s nice to see the move paying off.
I’m much more excited with him pushing the ball than I am his scoring. The fact that the team is actually running is very encouraging to me. I love the lineup (for short bursts) with LeBron at the 4, Sasha at the 3, Delonte and Mo in the backcourt and Andy at the 5. There aren’t many more athletic lineups in the NBA.

Yeah I wrote something about that on here the other day
That’s a great lineup. The only thing I worry about is rebounding. But hopefully there’s enough quickness to at lest track down the long rebounds.
I Really like the versatility in the back court right now
I’m sure it’ll change a bit with a trade, but I’m sure Brown is enjoying the options while he has them.
Who are these announcers and what are their backstories?
I’m not used to watching the local Cavs broadcasts.
Austin Carr is a Cavs legend. Fred McLeod was the PIstons announcer for their TV coverage, Dan Gilbert wanted him so bought him and brought him to Cleveland. To do so, he fired one of the more popular Cavs announcers in Michael Reghi.

They don't play again till saturday
But I’m sure he will if they’re up big.
I say give Hickson some more time and keep going with the 3 guard lineup. Might as well try it out.
He only played 17 minutes in the first half, which by my math would put him on pace for 34. This after playing 36 in the first game. I’m not that worried about LeBron’s minutes at that pace.

Hahaha
Barkley on TNT pregame “The Bobcats are playing their asses off if they’re only down 17.”
Apparently he’s not impressed with the Cats
Halftime Stats:
LeBron- 12 pts, 6 rebs, 6 asts
Gibson- 20 pts, 4 rebs, 1 ast
Delonte- 6 pts, 6 rebs, 1 ast
Mo- 8 pts, 2 rebs, 4 asts
Big Ben- 0 pts, 6 rebs, 4 blocks
Outside of Gibson, bench players have taken 5 total shots (1-5), with Hickson’s dunk being the only make.
6 mins, 2 TOs, 3 fouls. Perhaps he needs even less time… Lead is down to 7 points.

Heavy drugs
that’s my best guess. Although they can’t be too heavy, he occasionally knows what he’s doing in the fourth. Or maybe that’s just when Lebron starts ignoring him.

Mike Brown seems to have consistently had trouble in the 3rd quarter throughout his coaching career. I’m not sure what the issue is.
