Cavs 06-07 season thread

Lebron and Hughes need to shoot a higher percentage. I think together they need to shoot around 45%.

I don't understand Snow over Gibson. Snow has the experience, but what good has it done us? I mean, he makes bad decisions and he's an offensive blackhole. With Donyell in an abyss apparently, we need another three point shooter aside from Sasha, and Gibson can be that guy.

Hopefully Lebron will be better for game two, because his energy infuses the entire team and the crowd.

Agreeing with just about everything that has been said here. Obviously Sasha in the starting five pushes Snow out . That is a huge advantage to not have Snow in there because he can't even hit a 15 footer. The most frustrating part of game one was not getting Lebron the ball in the post. The last regular season game the Cavs had against the Nets, Lebron just absolutely tore them up down low. Plus the Cavs took way too many jump shots, if they feed Z and Drew down in the post plus find a way to get Lebron five touches a game in the post they could sweep the Nets. But, I do not see that happening so I say they take it in 6. Anyone else notice the L and the J on Lebron's triceps are those new tattoos?

One difference between the regular season and the all of last year and the playoffs is LBJ's minutes...

I think there were times this year during the seaosn that games were lost, b/c LBJ was left out to long and when he came back in he was not in rhythm...

Now in the playoffs we are playing better and he has an increase in minutes...He is able to do that b/c we have either 1 or 2 days in between games...

Also Sasha deserves a ton of credit for his defense that he is playing on Carter...Also the defense as a whole has been great and we are really forcing NJ to shoot from the outside...

The key is keeping the Nets from running and getting into the tempo they're comfortable in. I think the Cavs are doing a good job of getting back in transition. An even bigger key though is the offensive rebounding. Not only does it earn second chance points, but it also slows down the game for the Nets. Teams that run the floor rely on getting rebounds on the defensive end and quickly getting into their transition game from there. That's not happening if you're not getting the ball off of rebounds. Furthermore, it causes them to keep guys from releasing early to receive outlet passes because they need the extra help crashing the boards. Not only are the offensive rebounds good for the Cavs offense, but it's disrupting the NJ offense. Here's hoping they keep it up when they go to the Meadowlands.

I agree, and I also think that when a team has a big advantage like in one area of the game it is easier to win on the road...

I honestly think that we will split in NJ and finish this series in 5 at the Q...

Cavs looked amazing last night in the 4th. Smart passing, smart defense, good substitutions.

Couple bad calls, that Goal Tending call on LB was BS.

Great stuff. GO CAVS!

It was very close call, but I think the reason it looked like BS was b/c I think it was only going to get to the front of the rim, but I think it was a good call...
