Cavs 06-07 season thread

Horrible job all around for the last few minutes and OT. Brown needs to call a TO so Pav doesn't have to bring the ball up and get it stolen. Lebron needs to drive to the hoop as soon as he gets the ball for the last shot rather than heaving up a long three that wouldn?t have counted even if it had gone. Hughes needs to not shoot anything from further away than 2 feet in the 4th quarter. They better find their shooting touch over then next 21 hours or the Mavs game tomorrow will be a bloodbath.

I didn't have a chance to watch this game but my guess is Mike Brown benched LeBron for an extended period of time while the Bobcats made a run....On top of that we slowed the offense down and tried slugging it out ,ost of the fourth rather than playing the way we got out lead.....I could easily be wrong, so please explain what happened during our downfall in the game

Bad shooting, and a couple missed dunks sunk the Cavs tonight. I'll take this game over last nights debacle any day. Hughes with his third stinker in a row. They need Gibson to get his shooting touch back because he doesn't have it right now. Only 4 of the next 14 games should be tough so hopefully they get their heads on straight for the playoff push. IMO they will need to go at least 12 of 14 to have a shot at passing the Pistons.

I guess that this is what Good teams are doing this year...

Pistons played a not so good team and lost b4 their game with us and then we beat them...

Then the Mavs played Golden St. b4 the Suns lost to GS and then lost to the Suns...

Then we lose to the Bobcats only to come back and lose to the Mavs...

No reason at all to get upset about these 2 games IMO other than it drops us a couple more games back from the Pistons, but honestly I would rather try and avoid playing the Heat in the second round and they are looking like they will pull out a 4 or 5 seed...

CLEVELAND - The Dallas Mavericks are the NBA's stress test.
If you have a weakness, they'll find it. If you make a mistake, they'll exploit it. If they need a stop or a basket, they'll usually get it.
Which is why the mighty Mavericks have won just about 85 percent of their games this season, including a 98-90 victory over the Cavaliers on Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena.

Cavaliers game day

Ilgauskas finds hook successful weapon

Veteran center refining left-handed shot, too

By Brian Windhorst

Beacon Journal sportswriter

CLEVELAND - It lacks grace and classic technique, but Zydrunas Ilgauskas' hook shot is starting to become quite fashionable because it's going in the basket.
The Cavaliers' veteran center has been working on the move since training camp and recently has started to find success with it. In the loss Tuesday in Charlotte, Ilgauskas' sweeping maneuver, which sometimes starts not far above the waist, got him three hoops. He has been going to it, and making it, with regularity the past several weeks.

Mavs knock Cavs down a notch
Thursday, March 22, 2007
SPORTS SPOTLIGHT
TODD PORTER

CLEVELAND Soaring through the air, body twisting and turning, LeBron James landed without his balance, which was fitting given the week his Cavaliers are having. The thud on the floor at The Q brought a gasp from an arena full of disappointed fans.

It almost was as loud as the thud coming from the team Wednesday.

Cavaliers game day

Injury puts guard Gibson on ice

Big toe is recovering, but process leaves him rusty in a reserve role

By Brian Windhorst

Beacon Journal sportswriter

CLEVELAND - Since he has come back from a toe injury, every night has been ice cold for Daniel Gibson. Literally.
Under doctor's orders, Gibson must soak his left big toe in a bucket of ice for 15 minutes after every game, rendering it numb. As his game recovers from two weeks off, his jumper has felt that way at times, too.
After settling in as the starting point guard, Gibson was knocked out for eight games by the injury. As is common in these situations, the team moved on and made adjustments, and sitting out cost Gibson his rhythm. For more than a week, he wasn't permitted to run, and the Cavs played so well in his absence that he didn't return to the starting lineup when he was cleared to play at the start of the week.

Cavs' win good, bad and ugly

Sloppy victory brings two-game skid to end

By Brian Windhorst

Beacon Journal sportswriter

CLEVELAND - The event at Quicken Loans Arena on Friday night needed to go on a long journey... just to become a bad NBA game.
The scrap between the Cavaliers and the New York Knicks deteriorated into a sloppy mess, with the stuff occurring on the periphery becoming more entertaining than the game itself. Yet those circumstances did not disrupt the natural order of things, as the Cavs found their way to a 90-68 pounding of the injured, tired and fast-retreating Knicks.
The Cavs (42-27), who ended a pesky two-game losing skid, certainly will take it. Combine the win with the Detroit Pistons' loss in San Antonio on Friday, and the team is quickly right back on the conference leaders' heels, down a game and a half with 14 left to play.
