Cavs 08-09 Season - Central Div Champs (official thread)

That sequence of tipped rebounds after Delonte's missed FT with 10 seconds to go was great! Andy and Ben kept the possession alive, eventually got the bucket, and took 7 of the 10 seconds off the clock with their effort. That was a fun game to watch, and it turned the Cavs' way on Z's 3-pointer and Wallace's strip of Wade on his reverse layup attempt.

I hope they can play the whole game tomorrow like the 4th quarter yesterday. Miami is a really good team when Wade plays like he is right now. I just don't know if he can keep this up for the rest of the season. To me they look like the Cavs of a couple years ago with 1 great player and a bunch of spare parts. When the Cavs picked up the D on Wade in the 4th quarter last night the Heat didn't have an answer.

Tomorrow night is a tossup. If the Cavs are going to have a chance to win they need to play offense like they were when they were beating teams by 20 a night. The Heat don't have anyone that can stop Z so if the guards can hit their shots the Cavs will win regardless of Wade. NBA refs are a crock.

He got the Wade treatment in Cleveland Sunday night. I thought Bennett Salvatore was going to blow Wade in the final quarter. He called at least 3 fouls in the final period on the Cavs when the replays showed no contact.

You're right, though. They'll have to play near perfect to overcome the Wade calls. LeBron gets some calls too, but he's so big, they just let alot of contact go that I guarantee would be called if it was Wade.

Mo Williams kicks ass.

Personally I loved the Boobie Gibson foul where he bit on the upfake by Wade..Boobie jumped but turned sideways and came down without even touching Wade during his off balance jump shot while trying to draw the foul....called it anyways even though the replays showed from 3 angles he wasn't even touched. Ref called the foul before Boobie hit the peak of his jump.

It was probably a week or so ago, but Scott Van Pelt called Wade out during Sportscenter, it was pretty funny.

Wade made a nice bucket going to the hoop, and tried to draw contact as he usually does. The defender under the hopp backed off, avoiding any contact, and Wade fell in a really contorted way, and hit the deck pretty hard without being touched at all.

Van Pelt said something along the lines of "Did anyone even touch him? Wade at it again."

It seems like they really need a bigger shooting guard to go along with the 3 guards they have. Pavs and Wally just don't cut it that high on the bench. Best case they find a starting 2 guard and bring West and Boobie off the bench. I think they are strong enough at 4 and 5 unless they have a shot at a guy like Bosh or another scoring PF that they don't have to give up much for.

Hickson's giving good energy, but the Cavs have seemed totally overmatched so far. This is the first time they've really been smacked in the mouth so far this year. It will be interesting to see how they respond.
