Cavs 07-08 Season Thread

Cavs beat the Bucks as LeBron becomes the youngest to 9000 points. For my fellow Larry Hughes fans: 3-11, 6 points in 22 minutes making him 8-34 in his last three games. Memo to Cavs coaches and players: Stop giving him the ball...he is worthless.

This team is pathetic.:shake:

Until those worthless contracts come off the books and Ferry finds a real coach, this team isn't going anywhere.

BTW, Hughes watch: 3-10, 8 pts in 25 minutes. Keep earning that paycheck Larry you piece of shit.

Bring back Boozer in '09 !!!!

What a pathetic team. Is it possible that Hughes may be retarded? He keeps shooting when he knows his shooting sucks. Pavlovic is another that continues to shoot when he knows he sucks. And, he's a turnover machine when he drives with the ball. Gibson can shoot but continues to only shoot 5 or 6 times a game.

It's painful to watch this team, yet I still do it. I am an idiot !!!

Nba roundup
Knicks set aside turmoil, embarrass Cavs

ASSOCIATED PRESS
If this is the way a team responds to a public scolding from the coach, maybe Mike Brown should take note.

Two days after coach Isiah Thomas publicly questioned their heart and toughness, the host New York Knicks went out and pounded the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-90 last night in Madison Square Garden.
It was the most lopsided victory of the season for the Knicks, who shot a season-best 56.2 percent from the field and led by as many as 24 points.

it's painfully obvious that Sasha was playing for a contract as he has been lazy, slow, and basically ineffective since coming back. gooden has been in his retard stretch for about 5 games now. I've never seen someone so confused over who to guard on defense.

larry hughes, lol.

mike brown knows how to coach defense. that's not a real point of contention. the cavs have played very good defense the last two years. i don't believe that they all forgot how to do so in the offseason. this team is lazy on defense period.

Please don't mob me over this, but I've been thinking for a while now... if you're a Cavs' fan, would you take Dwight Howard in a straight up deal for Lebron right now?

Think about it. Howard is on his way to becoming, if he has not done so already, the most dominant player in the the game. But he's not a media darling or an endorsement-hound. Cleveland is a city he could come to embrace, without the pressure of playing in a big market. Lebron? Not so much. If we cannot build a team around LBJ in the next two years, he's gone.

I'm not saying I would take the deal. I'm saying it's worth thinking about. And I'm asking, would you?

No.

Dwight Howard would be just as likely to bail as LeBron IMO.

I'm going to have to throw you a big FUCK NO on trading LBJ !!!!!

Although, after LBJ, I would easily take Howard as the next best player. LeBron continues to get better every season, he's just surrounded by turds. Not Ferry's fault, but nothing can be done, until those turds are moved or c ome off the books.

I think they meet with LBJ at the right time and work on an extension with the promise that involve him on what players to try to get when the turds are off the books. He's already the NBA glamor-boy, even playing in Cleveland. Playing in a big market won't change that very much.

After the 08/09 season, Snow,Gooden,Marshall, WildThing and Amon Ones will be done. I'm assuming AV exercises his out. That will free up almost $31 mil. After 09/10, Z, Hughes and Pavlovic are off and that clears another $30 mil. Thats alot of $$ to have in back to back seasons. Of course LBJ can opt out after 09/10, so their signings after 08/09 will be critical to the future of the franchise.

I'd rather have LBJ and Howard. Is that one of the choices ? :biggrin:

No defending this Cavaliers' defeat

New York -- Defense has been the hallmark of coach Mike Brown's philosophy since he began his coaching career with the Denver Nuggets as an intern back in the 1990s.
When Brown became a head coach for the first time, three years ago with the Cavaliers, defense was the name of his game. So when the struggling New York Knicks shredded the Cavs from the inside and outside on Wednesday night, Brown was horrified.
"I'm embarrassed," Brown said. "Our defense this year has been very, very bad. Defensively, this is one of the worst performances that I've been a part of and that starts with me. I don't think it can get any worse than this."

CAVS INSIDER
Cavaliers' James baffled by Knicks' struggles

Thursday, December 20, 2007 Branson Wright

Plain Dealer Reporter
New York- Most of the news out of New York has not been pleasant in relation to the New York Knicks and their coach Isiah Thomas.
Fans want Thomas fired and the coach blasted the effort of his team after their last game.
LeBron James can't imagine his team ever quitting.

I disagree. Dwight Howard simply is not as marketable. The lure of the big city will not be as great with him... although it would be there.

Anyway, don't mind me. I'm just a Cleveland fan already planning for Lebron's inevitable departure. Too negative for my own good.

I agree about Howard. I've met him before and he's great guy. He's probably the furthest you can get from a glory hound. Maybe I'm naive, but I just don't think LeBron will leave, unless they fair to get good players around him.
