For the first time in eight years, Cleveland Cavaliers playoff tickets will be on sale.
The Cavaliers announced yesterday that individual playoff tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday at the arena box office, online or by telephone. Tickets are $12, $31 and $44.
Game 1 of the best-of-seven series will be either April 22 or 23 against Washington, Milwaukee or Indiana. The Cavs have home-court advantage as the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference.
The team last made the playoffs in 1997-98.
Yao facing foot surgery

Houston center Yao Ming will have surgery this weekend on his broken left foot, which could take four to six months to heal, general manager Carroll Dawson said.
Yao was hurt in the first quarter of an 85-83 loss to Utah on Monday.
"It can be fixed two ways," Dawson said. "You could just put a cast on it, but it takes forever. The thing most people do is have the surgery."
Playoff rosters upped to 13

Postseason rosters will expand to 13 this season, with teams deactivating one player before each game.
This will be the first time teams will be allowed to make changes during the playoffs. In the past, they had to stick with the same 12-man roster throughout the postseason.
NBA spokesman Tim Frank said the change was made to give teams the same kind of roster room they had during the regular season.
Player matters


• San Antonio guard Manu Ginobili sat out for the second straight game because of contusions to his left calf and shin. Ginobili, injured against Dallas on Friday, was replaced by Brent Barry.

• Guard Dwyane Wade missed Miami’s game against Toronto because of illness. Shandon Anderson started for Wade.

• Chicago was without forward Luol Deng (concussion) and guard Chris Duhon (back) for its game last night against New Jersey.
Business matters


• Adidas signed an 11-year deal with the NBA, making the German athletic shoe company the official uniform and apparel provider for the league.
• The NBA Development League awarded an expansion franchise to Anaheim, Calif.

Gooden looks like hes running it water. Defensively we might as well just be playing with 4 players, hes only getting in the way really.

Also it appears that our strategy for the pick and roll is this:

Both defenders run at the guy with the ball.

EDIT: I used to be hesitant about getting rid of Gooden, but now I cant wait for it too happen. His effort is horrible so far tonight.

Varejo puts a hard foul on Sheed and he gets ejected.

Sheed splits Z's head open on purpose and nothing happens.

Nice consistency.

Maybe Dumbfuck Brown can put Lebron in sometime this century.

EDIT: Lets get a vbet going on if a Cavs guard scores tonight.

How the fuck does Andy get tossed for that, and Rasheed didnt get tossed for his shit when he hit Z on the head.

I love Andy takin Sheed to the ground. Sending them a little message.

I jsut hope we can come back in this game, b/c they are making us look stupid. I don't think we have made a shot for a whole quarter.

Larry doesnt look like he is in the game mentally. Hopefully he can fix that.

The NBA is too busy caring about fucking tights.

Mike Brown has to be the dumbest coach in the NBA, Ive thought that all season and now this only confirms it. Our defense is disgusting too watch, no one moves, its like they are daydreaming.

Lebron should just take every damn shot, hes the only one playing with any intensity at all.

Dude relax. This team has been playing probably the best ball in the NBA the last three weeks. A let down is bound to happen, especially against the best team in the NBA on the road.
*edit* I do agree with you about Gooden...he needs to go. I can't stand how some time he looks like an All-Star, then he disappears for three games.

Yeah I don't think they are really playing hard, and with intensity tonite. they came out early hard, but once they started missing their shots and Brown just decided to rest LBJ.

I hate the fact they are just making a mockery of us, but they don't even look like they are trying.

Did anyone else see Gooden airball from right underneath the basket?

Might as well rest Lebron the rest of the game, because this game was over with 10 minutes in the second quarter when Brown sat Lebron when the Pistons lead rocketed to 20+.

Brown might be too stupid for this, but you have to put Lebron in the game before it gets too ugly. You cant make a big comeback against the Pistons, they are too balanced and good so you cannot let it get out of hand...

EDIT: This game is over, and its even harder to watch because of Bill Walton. Im just going to watch the Chapelle Show.
