This is why I always root for the superstar of the opposing team to have a balanced normal game. Superstars have this thing where if they do bad sometime in the game, most likely they're going to make up for their bad performance later on during the game. In this case, Lebron had 8 points in the first half and made it up by taking over the fourth quarter and going godzilla on them.

Whatever. The only reason you were in it at the end is because LeBron got away with a a travel and then got a freak rebound and wide open shot off his own FT miss.

Your offense stagnated, but so what, Utah played well. Considering. Hit some big shots of their own.

No, Deron Williams being out of the game was pivotal in getting the Cavaliers back in it. I'm not impressed by Mo throwing his weight around against D-Leaguers.

bostonguy
01-15-2010, 02:06 AM
Mo Williams isn't overrated by anybody..everybody always bashes him..

The problem is that he isn't a legit #2 guy, so he's placed into a role he doesn't fit in the playoffs..he's not supposed to have that pressure on him, he's not a #2 guy at all, he won't be able to handle that kind of a load..

If they get Jamison, which I expect to happen, they'll have a perfect #2 IMO..

33 soon to be 34 year old Jamison. That means if they land Jamison, they are stuck with that contract and will virtually not have any cap money at all to spend this summer.

Ask people who have waited this long for a championship if they care about cap money.

Adding Jamison should make Cleveland the odds-on favorite IMO, unless the Lake Show strengthens their bench and Boston by some miracle stays healthy.

The Cavs are #1 in the NBA in interior defensive FG%..they have the PG to exploit Fisher..they have the best player in the NBA..they just need a complimentary guy to Lebron, and a guy like Jamison would be that piece..

Cavs had all these amazing stats last year and what good did that do them? The bottom line is Boston is the Lakers biggest threat from the east and the entire nba. Since Boston won't stay healthy, the Lakers won't have a hard time taking care of the Cavs. A soon to be 34 year old Jamison isn't going to put them over the top against the defending champs.

Why not? They smoked a full strength Laker team on their home floor. I understand Kobe's finger was attached to his hand with super adhesive and his back was probably being held to his lower body using 12 inch metal screws and rods... but it is what it is.

The Cavs match up very well with the Lakers... and i called it before the season began ... Nearly the entire board were bagging the Cavs (including you) saying the Magic and Celtics were 1 and 2 and the Cavs a distant 3rd and that they didnt stand a chance against the Lakers.

How did those regular season winners fare in the playoffs? The xmas game doesn't change anything. Cavs need to prove they can do it during a 7 game series. Then I will admit I was wrong.

cavs will struggle to beat L.A will Mo Williams as their 2nd option...he simply isn't good enough. They need another scorer to be able to beat L.A 4 out of 7games. having judt lebron isnt enough.

If the Cavs and Lakers went into a series... i would put my money on the Lakers - let me just make that clear. But i think that series goes a minimum 6 games. Im trying to find a post i made at the start of the season that was quite long i cbf typing it all out again :lol..

But the Cavs have things to put up against the Lakers that no other team has... mainly a super duper star who can go toe-to-toe with Kobe when things come down to the wire... no other guy can do that, not Wade, not Melo, not Dirk, not Duncan. Most importantly, the size factor. The Cavs might be the only team that can trot out a lineup where they have a size advantage over the Lakers. Shaq, Big Z, LeBron, Parker/Moon, Williams. The Lakers cant hurt the Cavs with speed like other teams when they put that lineup out on the floor.

Just sayin... they match up much, much better than they did last season - and it showed in the game they played this season. Obviously the Cavs arent a 20 point better team than the Lakers, not by any stretch. But the entire game (not just the result) was a world of difference from the two regular season meetings they had last season, where the Lakers battered them handily in the paint. The same way Dwight Howard did. That doesnt happen anymore with Shaq down there.

How did those regular season winners fare in the playoffs? The xmas game doesn't change anything. Cavs need to prove they can do it during a 7 game series. Then I will admit I was wrong.



The xmas game still doesn't change my mind. After how the Cavs were so hyped up last year, they deserve to be bagged on. Want me to give them props, I will if they prove me wrong in the postseason and win the championship.

Fair point, regular season doesnt mean everything. But sometimes the regular season excuse can be a cop out. Last season the Lakers won both games against the Cavs easily. They dominated from start to finish by pounding the Cavs in the paint and almost toyed with them, neither game was really a contest.

I agree the regular season doesnt mean shit for Cleveland because of what happened in those playoffs, but I still stand by my opinion that they are a much better team, match up better with the League's best, and a built more like a championship team should be. Alot people pointed to the Turkoglu/Lewis frontcourt that the Cavs couldnt matchup with... while that was true - Howard was the guy that was the difference, going of for something like 30-15 that series. Same thing against the Lakers, they got killed inside.. in the Cavs only real loss all season in Cleveland, Odom and Pau combined for 46 points, 29 rebounds and 8 assists in a double digit win. In the other game the Lakers won by 17, Pau and Bynum went for 36 and 19.

Thats not happening against this Cavs team.

If the Cavs and Lakers went into a series... i would put my money on the Lakers - let me just make that clear. But i think that series goes a minimum 6 games. Im trying to find a post i made at the start of the season that was quite long i cbf typing it all out again :lol..

But the Cavs have things to put up against the Lakers that no other team has... mainly a super duper star who can go toe-to-toe with Kobe when things come down to the wire... no other guy can do that, not Wade, not Melo, not Dirk, not Duncan. Most importantly, the size factor. The Cavs might be the only team that can trot out a lineup where they have a size advantage over the Lakers. Shaq, Big Z, LeBron, Parker/Moon, Williams. The Lakers cant hurt the Cavs with speed like other teams when they put that lineup out on the floor.

Just sayin... they match up much, much better than they did last season - and it showed in the game they played this season. Obviously the Cavs arent a 20 point better team than the Lakers, not by any stretch. But the entire game (not just the result) was a world of difference from the two regular season meetings they had last season, where the Lakers battered them handily in the paint. The same way Dwight Howard did. That doesnt happen anymore with Shaq down there.

Good points

I agree the Cavs do match-up alot better...last year it wouldn't of been close in the playoffs but this time around it could be. Cavs problem is not having that extra 3rd scorer you need when the going gets tough.

Lebron has a perfect cast around him in terms of role players who can hit open shots.
