The Bulls are a jump shooting team, and right now they are hitting their shots….Cavs need to start to defend…

Z misses a 1 footer and Nocioni hits a 23 footer….Nothing good going for the Cavs right now…

A couple quick baskets and the Bulls call time out. Z can get anything he wants inside against a smaller Bulls team playing without Drew Gooden

A 14 point lead became a 9 point deficit . The Cavs were able to cut it back to 3 at the half. With 3 home games coming up this week a road win in Chicago sure would be nice….

Cavs just can’t seem to sustain energy and are getting little offense from anyone other than LeBron. Where is Mo Williams?

This is old-style Cavaliers basketball…A lot of LeBron James dribbling…

Seeing him stand with the ball for 3 seconds at the top of the key (with no defender within 10 feet) is not an encouraging sight.

I have never been more convinced that Noah is just a poor man’s Varejao.

we need a lot more of that from Boobie.

Truth be told, I’m going to miss Wally when he’s traded

I know Noah is supposed to be a shot blocker, but he has shown himself very vulnerable to pick up fouls. LeBron taking it right to him, and he’ll pick up those remaining to fouls real quick.

by Chief WaDrew on Nov 8, 2008 9:23 PM CST reply actions  

If that long 3 had fallen, there would have been no point to watch the rest of the game. Except to see how many points LeBron would end up beating the buls by.

You are so right….

Love the Cavalier defense….It is becoming a trend for the Cavs to bring it in the 4th quarter…

I would almost rather them come out of halftime a little stronger, so they wouldn’t have to bring it in the 4th.

Austin Carr said the Cavs need 5 good minutes to take over the game. At the time the score was 74-66 Bulls with 4 minutes to go in the 3rd….

How right he was….
