Yeah, tonight's game was a tough one to watch. I don't know what's going on, but the Cavs just cannot seem to get rolling this year. Of course, it never helps when the Nets seem to never show up against any other NBA team, but they always look like world-beaters against the Cavs.

I try not to get too wrapped up in complaining about the refs in NBA games b/c there are certain games when LeBron sure seems to be getting all the calls. That being said, it seemed that tonight Vince Carter took a page out of the Gilbert Arenas/Dwayne Wade approach to NBA offense, namely
(1) lower your shoulder
(2) run full blast toward the hoop
(3) collide with the nearest defender while throwing the ball in the air toward the hoop
(4) get the whistle
(5) step to the line and hit two free throws

I have a hard time believing this is essentially the same team that played with such fire in the playoffs this summer. The East is really wide open this year, hopefully something clicks soon, because if they can play up to their capabilities and stay healthy, the potential for a run to the finals is there. I just hope Gibby starts seeing more of the minutes Snow is getting. Snow is absolutely no offensive threat whatsoever. Young or not, at least Gibson provides that capability.

Defense falters in loss to Nets

LeBron scores 37 points, but late rally falls short

By Brian Windhorst

Beacon Journal sportswriter

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - If it's not one thing, it's the other. The only constant is the Cavaliers' futility on the road.
Recently the culprit has been offensive ineptness, the Cavs slinking meekly off to the airport while the home team toast various franchise records for low-point totals.
On Wednesday it was the fraternal twin, usually the well-behaved one, that let them down. The defense, the team's strength over the past six weeks, performed at its worst level of the year. So rather than losing a drawn-out slugfest, the Cavs instead dropped a sprint 113-111 against the New Jersey Nets.

Game day

Snow defends his pal Iverson

Cav predicts ex-76ers star will do well in Denver

By Brian Windhorst

Beacon Journal sportswriter

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Eric Snow is close personally and professionally with Allen Iverson, and he has played for George Karl, which puts him in a interesting position to provide perspective on the trade that rocked the NBA on Tuesday.
The Cavaliers' captain gave the Denver Nuggets' acquisition an unadulterated thumbs up.
``I think knowing George Karl, knowing Allen, and knowing enough about Carmelo (Anthony), they're in the right place with the right style,'' Snow said Wednesday. ``They're two very talented players, that's undeniable. You put them on the same team with a coach that is a little more lenient than some others, and I think it is going to work.''

CAVALIERS INSIDER

First Pistons meeting since playoffs to be charged

Thursday, December 21, 2006 Branson Wright

The Plain Dealer
East Rutherford, N.J. -- Drew Gooden was like most Cavaliers fans during the off-season following the team's loss to the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
"I felt we were one rebound away from getting past the Pistons and that lingered in my mind," Gooden said. "But I knew eventually we'd get the chance to play against them again."

Lebron needs to take over.

Stop running plays for fucking Eric Snow, stop giving the ball to Varejo for a 15 foot jumper.

Another missed goal tend.

EDIT: Then Varejo misses a wide open finger roll and has a lazy foul leading to an AND 1.

Sit down you lazy piece of shit. Hes only good when he uses his energy, and hes not using it at all tonight.

This team plain sucks right now. The worst part is LeBron seems to have regressed this year. Something needs to change right quick. No way should this team be struggling like this with the East as pathetic as it is. Like I said before, I can't believe this is essentially the same damn team from last summer. Don't tell me Flip Fucking Murray meant that much. Brown needs to really lay into these guys (if he's capable of doing that), and LeBron needs to just go out and be LeBron. Incredibly dissapointing season so far.:shake:
