Lebron had a private meeting with Jim Brown before the game...let's see if that helps him be more aggressive early on.

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:11 PM

Turk is already in foul trouble.

Lebron loves playing this team. Easy access to the paint.

Definitely. He also loves playing against Bosh.

Great sign to see Mo hit a pullup J. He's been off lately.

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:14 PM

This game looks like a dead OVER so far.

So does every Cavs game in the 1st quarter though.

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:15 PM

Shaq should be able to get the Raps post players in foul trouble early.

I really think that will be the difference in this game come late.

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:16 PM

Shaq got that foul on purpose in order to get out of game.

Dude is always out of shape.

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:19 PM

Maybe the Cavs decided that they would just have fun this game, and go fast tempo with Toronto.

Frankie4fingers · 01-19-10, 07:20 PM

Took King James and the Cavs (-9.5)...don't feel good about it though, probably lose by 1/2 point or some shit

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:23 PM

Something I have learned over the years.... The first 5 mins have nothing to do with the last 5mins in the NBA, with the exception of fouls.

Frankie4fingers · 01-19-10, 07:26 PM

Why does Jared Jack start at point? Calderon is better at point IMO, Jared Jack is a great player but not a great point guard

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:27 PM

Really weird game. All of the Craptors are hitting their shots. Even Antione Wright just hit a circus shot/and 1. This game looks like a dead OVER still...

williams22 · 01-19-10, 07:31 PM

Is Jawad Williams for real? I still can't tell. If he keeps up this production Daniel Gibson will never see the floor again.

williams22 · 01-19-10, 07:33 PM

If Lebron starts going to "mini-Shaq" mode (thank you Chris Webber) more consistently he is going to become even more of a nightmare for teams.

Durrrr · 01-19-10, 07:34 PM

Liking my play thus far..

And just as I write this Gibson comes in. Mike Brown never ceases to puzzle me.

Hell of a block by Bron!

Man, Lebron has been playing phenomenal D this year...

No excuse for Lebron not to have a post game. at 6'8 230 their would be no SF that would be able to guard him. Also they could go small lineup, and be a quicker defensive team.

Exactly. Except try 250, not 230. He's also a tremendous passer out of the post.

Well that was a fast paced quarter with both teams shooting well and we only have 56 points. It could have been worse for the unders.

Yeah, you and C WEB are right, If Lebron posts up more he will open up the floor for himself and the rest of the team. He still needs another superstar to sign with Cleveland in order for them to win a title.

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:39 PM

Shaq should go for 20+. No one on the Craptors wants to guard him.

I expect a deal for Antawn Jamison or David West to happen. The Cavs have been talking with both teams a lot in the past week. There are rumors of a Delonte and Z for David West trade. I would prefer Jamison though.

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:42 PM

Just feed Shaq

Toronto will accumulate fouls, and bruises.

A Delonte and Varejao would be a better trade for West or Jamison IMO, Z doesn't have that much time left in the league but man if you could have a great shooting big man like West and Jamison starting and a great shooting Big man like Z off the bench Lebron would have a field day. Cavs are definitely a better team with a player like Z

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 07:47 PM

FFFEEED THHHAA BEAST

Shaq has at least 3 and 1's so far.

First off, there is no way the Cavs will trade Varejao. He's untouchable. The guy is leading the league in plus-minus and is the anchor to the Cavs defense.

A trade involving Z would likely be made with the agreement that Z would be waived, and then resigned by the Cavs after the 30-day waiting period. A trade for West or Jamison would mainly be a salary dump for the other team since Z's contract is up at the end of the year.

Mo's shooting slump is now officially over.

williams22 · 01-19-10, 07:50 PM

Shaq is going hard tonight. As he says, the Rupaul of the NBA can't guard him

Well, with all of the great players that are unrestricted free agents this off season, it will be interesting to see who goes where, hell you never know Lebron might be packing his bags (not likely).

Very true. However, if the Cavs can pull of a trade for Jamison I would bet you any amount of money that Lebron will resign with Cleveland.

If they can get this guy next year, a title would definitely be in reach...

HoulihansTX · 01-19-10, 08:00 PM

Looks like an easy Cavs 2nd half bet.

KiDBaZkiT · 01-19-10, 08:01 PM

You guys are lunatics, Jamison and Varejao do things very differently on the court Varejao is absolute energy guy a HARDER worker than Jamison will ever be period. That would ruin the Cavs chemistry to get rid of a strong inside presence and great rebounder for a guy who is less physical that takes way more outside jumpshots. I dont even have to look up stats to know that varejao is shooting over 50% on the season.
