This should be fun. The Cavaliers and Warriors are sure to shoot off some fireworks tonight. Despite playing the second part of a back-to-back, the Cavaliers are likely to be energized by a high-scoring, little defense, playground style basketball game. Lose, however, and all the smiles are likely to go away.
During their last trip to Oakland, LeBron James beat the Warriors at the buzzer. Who could forget Fred Mcleod exclaiming, "Good Night Oakland, we'll show our selves out!" Good times indeed!

Celtics go down in flames...
Let’s go Cavs
So I told her," I'll be nicer if you try to be smarter!'..That was a mistake.
Another game...
for the Cavaliers to get a road win against a team that has beaten the Celtics already.

Get that weak stuff..

Austin's comment on Andy last night...
“…what he does for you, you cannot put money on it”
So I told her," I'll be nicer if you try to be smarter!'..That was a mistake.
If Z is going to shoot jumpers from 20 feet, miss them, then not get back down the floor to defend, it is going to be a long night

A quick 7-0 run by the Cavs ties the game….

so long as he keeps his number of assists close to his number of misses, I can live with games like last night

Yes...
Win or lose in regulation but no overtime, please

That’s what Mo needs to do..Get inside and get to the line.

if the Cavs didn’t play fast and loose with the ball, these games would be over by the end of the third quarter
they’re going to HAVE to get the turnovers down drastically by playoff time if they hope to get to the Finals

Agreed…They have been very, very sloppy this year, overall

almost half way there…and hopefully the losses will diminish as they get into the “easier” part of their schedule
by cavslandrocks on Jan 12, 2010 12:14 AM CST up reply actions
actually this could have easily been a loss if Mo had kept chucking instead of passing…More assists than misses tonight
2-8 but he had 7 assists so I’m happy…it’s when he keeps chucking and missing that I get frustrated with him…like it matters …LOL

I was busy for most of the evening
And I’m going to be traveling this week, so I won’t be on here.
We all knew this was going to be a wild game, and tonight we can be glad we’re the Cavs and not the Warriors. And Boston lost again tonight, so now they have as many losses as we do.
I don’t know if we can beat Utah. It’s going to be the toughest of all the west coast contests.
Not sure it was a good idea to go small, I know its the trend for all these national media types to hype up the Lebron at the 4, small lineup, but not having Z, Andy, or Shaq in there, when all three were dominating the paint through the first three quarters looked like a backfire move by Mike Brown. I’ll give him it that he was trying something out a bit, and possibly trying to save minutes on these guys because it was a back to back (nice to see Daniel Gibson get some minutes tonight).
