Well two games down and eighty more to go. The Cavs look like a struggling team right now. The chemistry is definitely not there yet. I hope they dont dig themselves too deep a hole ou of the gate. The Cavs did start 2-3 last year so we’ll see what happens in the next week. This is really disappointing, but the season is a long one and its not how youre playing in November but how youre playing in April and May.

cavs need west back and trade big z and gibson to golden state for s.jackson mo williams is the weak link he cant defend,let west start at point and if we get jackson put him at the sg, and rotate parker and moon between the sg&sf and let mo williams come off the bench where he belongs,lebron varejao and shaq with hickson,poe backing shaq and varejao up and that got to use shaq in the 1st and 2nd while he fresh and get teams in foul trouble then let lebron the boys run wild anyway thats what i would do

the cavs can’t use this as a reason for losing last night.

they were the best team in the regular season last year and only have maybe 3 new faces playin close to 20 minutes?!

but look at the raptors. this team was under .500 and out of the playoffs. they changed pretty much everything on their team, keeping 3 players and bringing in 9 new guys. i don’t see anyone in toronto using chemistry as an excuse after dominating the cavs 90% of the game last night.

i think the cavs will be the best team again, hands down. but this raptors team looks great! with 4-5 starters that an easily put up 20 points a game and a bench that can shut down any top offense!!!

Has anyone seen Bargnani play? He dropped 28, which is below his career best…that guy can light it up and has improved considerably with respect to defense, which was nonexistent…

The guy has an amazing array of offensive moves and upped his scoring average last year to 15 from 10 the year previous while doubling his rebounding output…

He’s gonna make the all-star team this year after dropping 19 a game…..

I said this all along during pre-season, but most Cav’s fans are too much in love with Lebron to listen.

First off, I should say that it is only 2 games and this early in the season it means nothing. Don’t panic yet, and the Cavs should win a lot of games this year. What I’m talking about is against the better competition in the league, like Boston/Magic/Lakers/etc, and in last year’s playoffs.

Lebron is a dominant player, and racks up great stats. But judging a player on stats is ridiculous. Why? Because if Kobe or Wade or Carmelo dominated the ball as much as Lebron, they would get the same ridiculous stats. In order to win championships, it is NOT about the great player getting his stats. Heck, in last year’s playoffs, the Lakers played far better when Kobe would take 20 or LESS shots. Why?

Because basketball is a TEAM game. When your offense consists of giving the ball to Lebron and saying “go get it for us big fella” which is something Coach Brown ACUTALLY SAID last year, you are in trouble. Of course it is going to make Lebron look amazing and his teammates look like garbage. Why wouldn’t it? Who would look good if they are just standing around waiting for 1 player to dominate? The offense is stagnant, and no one has confidence.

What great players do in order to win CHAMPIONSHIPS is to make other average players on your team look like all-stars. How? Well this requires sacraficing your own stats. It requires to take the double team and swing the ball around the perimeter for the open 3. Something which gets you no assists. It requires staying INSIDE your offense with everyone touching the ball. It requires getting EASY baskets for your teammates vs getting hard baskets for yourself.

Jordan realized this late in his career and that’s why he won 6 rings. Kobe is playing like this now and that’s why the Lakers look so good. The lakers look like a TEAM, a fully functioning mechanism. The Cavs look stagnant and 1 dimensional.

Lebron needs to stop worrying about his own stats and stay inside the offense. Furthermore, you guys need a new coach who actually has an offense to stay inside of. The other players on the Cavs are very good. They just look horrible when Lebron hogs the ball all day. Just think about it, the Cavs have 4 all-stars on the team. Shaq, Mo and Lebron all went to the all-star game last year. Big Z has gone twice in his career and his numbers are right at the level they were when he went to those 2 all-star games. On the other hand the lakers have 2 all-stars in Pau/Kobe and Artest who went to 1 all-star game. However, Artest’s game has dropped since his all-star appearance.

The Cavs have a great supporting cast. You guys need to open your eyes and point the fault to the coach and Lebron. This “system” of giving the ball to Lebron and getting out of the way will NEVER EVER win a ring! EVER! Guaranteed!

Mr.Ferry,

Please trade Z and boobie and get us Jackson

we need a viable 2nd scoring option!!!!!!!!!!

then sign daniels

This hall of famer is not going to do anything for our beloved Cavs. I love the man, but he can’t shoot, he can’t foul shoot, his feet are two (both) slow for defense. Granted he can pull a few rebounds down, but the Cavs have done that for the last several years anyway. Last year’s losses in the playoffs were due to poor coaching and inexperience playoff players. Mo froze and that was the biggest contributing factor to losses in the finals. If he’d hit some of his normal threes, Cleveland would have been golden. Now they’ve disbanded a championship team for the sake of Shaq. Where the sun set in Pheonix and not rise like he promised the fans. These moves bring the prospect of a long hard winter in Cleveland now for us Cavs fans to accompany our inept Brown’s team.
