The Cavs are on fire and look to take the heat on the road with them when they travel to the huge land-fill in New Jersey, home to the soon-to-be-moving New Jersey Nets.  Everyone knows the LeBron/Jay-Z connection and recent rumors about the Cavaliers possibly being interested in Vince Carter make games against the Nets that much more fun.  Of Course the Cavaliers also knocked the Nets out of the playoffs a couple years ago as well.

Talk about the game here in the comments! They Auto-Refresh, bringing an awesome game night experience!

You get the sense that the Cavaliers can play just about any style right now. It was obvious that the Nets wanted to to try and push the ball against the Cavs in order to try and keep the Cavs’ defense from getting set. It hasn’t worked…..

Plan B – let Devin Harris take over. Dude can flat out shoot and he is showing everyone that right now…

I keep getting the feeling that the Cavaliers are going to have to dig deep to find a way to win this one…

I was just going to post that I love Delonte more and more every game.

The best thing probably is to hit [Grady] 2nd -- Jay

Perhaps the 3rd quarter struggles are3 a thing of the past. Cavaliers dominate the 3rd quart and turn a 3 point deficit into a 12 point lead…

Dominant quarter. Put the pedal down and put this one away!

3rd quarter lulls, lebron dribbling for 20 seconds per offensive set, and poor free throw shooting are a thing of years past. Tomorrow night is going to be top line entertainment!

hopefully lbj can sit the rest of the way

I am completely impressed by AV’s improvement on the offensive end. How can the Cavs let this guy walk at the end of the year if he keeps playing like this?!?

i think they will pay av, especially with our lack of depth at that position

by dawginphilly on Nov 18, 2008 9:01 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

agreed. Although i’m curious to see how Hickson falls into the rotation with a full year under his belt. Wallace will be an expiring, so he might be a good flip if we re-sign av.
