Cavs 06-07 season thread

Gibson is aggressive and on fire! He's really growing up in this series

Hughes has noticeably lost some quickness and explosiveness (as should be expected with his type of injury). It's affecting his ability to TAKE jumpers, let alone make them. I appreciate his effort, but Mike Brown needs to recognize what is going on and limit his minutes the rest of the game.

Boobie is growin' up right in front of our eyes...

Larry is really favoring his foot, but he is playing solid defense...

 

[jlb1705]

They are now +6 with James on the bench, and he's getting some good rest.

 

[jlb1705]

Make that +8, and a ten-point lead. Pistons timeout.

I channel surf during the playoffs... but it seems like Mike Brown doesn't draw up many plays out of timeouts. Is this accurate?

 

[crazybuckfan40]

Great first half...

Don't know what the timeout was for at the end of the first half, to set up a fadeaway 3 for Sasha, was for...

Yeah, pretty much. :(

LeBron is rested and Hughes is hobbled. The Cavs should make a statement and come out there with Gibson in the lineup and run the floor. They need to push the tempo and score. I will be pissed, but unfortunately not surprised if they allow themselves to fall into another miserable 3rd quarter.

 

[jlb1705]

Two minutes in, we've got the timid, clumsy, crappy third quarter Cavs again. Get Hughes out of there. Ilgauskas too.

Another great start to the 3rd quarter.

What the fuck do we do at halftime?

 

[jlb1705]

This is part of what's frustrating:

The TNT crew intimated that Mike Brown has tried to get them to play the same in the third quarter as they do the rest of the game and that's part of the problem. This is the playoffs. They are playing a good team with an experienced coach and players. They are making adjustments, and the Cavs are not - at least not until they've thoroughly erased any good they did in the two quarters previous. Sure, there's a lack of effort too, but most of this problem falls squarely on the shoulders of the head coach.

 

[jlb1705]

This is absolutely piss poor.

 

[jlb1705]

Daniel Gibson. Thank you.

Rasheed is a fucking joke.

There isnt a player in any sport i despise more than him.

Im a huge North Carolina fan, but I still hate him.

Webber just got hit with a flagrant.

EDIT: Gibson is a tough mofo. Hes been hit a couple times hard tonight and he smiles and laughs it off.

Quickly becoming my favorite player.

 

[jlb1705]

Gibson is getting aggressive again, and the offense is picking up some pace.

 

[scarletngrey11]

Fuck.

3 quick fouls on Gibson.

Z cant rebound despite being the talent mofo on the court.
