Howard is too nice.

**HoulihansTX** · 02-21-10, 01:08 PM

Here come Antwan "airball" Jamison.

**williams22** · 02-21-10, 01:09 PM

Jamison hits his first attempt...Thank god!

**suicidekings** · 02-21-10, 01:09 PM

Antawn will have a big day today to make up for the crap one yesterday..

**Mac4Lyfe** · 02-21-10, 01:09 PM

Williams - I created a thread the same time. We can merge to yours.

In game thread: Cleveland Cavs @ Orlando Magic - 2/21/09
[COLOR=#000000 ! important]The Cavs are 0-2 with Mo Williams back in the lineup. Today is an opportunity to right the ship. Can the Cavs bring the defensive intensity that has been lacking the last two games to pull this one out.

Mo Williams get's abused 1 on 1 by Jameer Nelson that led to an easy layup. Now he goes for a steel that leads to another easy bucket. Orlando up 12-5[/color]

Fading a couple of touts today.

I forgot to check what he was on today...

Never handicap without it

Orlando looks good early

**ngates815** · 02-21-10, 01:18 PM

I just turned on the game from MSU vs Ohio St.

I didn't see Jamison make his first shot...But I did see him fling up a 1 hander on the baseline, then lose the ball down low.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 02-21-10, 01:18 PM

Wow, how was that not goal tending on Howard???

He's still struggling... His last shot should have been a bucket though. That was goaltending on Howard.

**williams22** · 02-21-10, 01:20 PM

Definitely goaltending there. For anyone who hasn't watched Jamison play much, get used to one-handed floaters and other crafty shots, that's just his game inside.

**luclongley** · 02-21-10, 01:20 PM

serious goaltending

Your missing a great MSU comeback. They're on a 10-3 run right now...

**lakerboy** · 02-21-10, 01:22 PM

this game will be like game 3 of last years finals. maybe a little closer but low scoring like that one. it will become a drag out defensive affair. i read alot of articles on this game and i truly believe orlando wants this game badly

**williams22** · 02-21-10, 01:23 PM

Holy shit...that block was ridiculous!

I much rather see him hit mid range jumpers all day long.

I was hoping to see Powe today. We could really use his power game.

Wow what a great block by James on Howard. WOW...

**HoulihansTX** · 02-21-10, 01:24 PM

Who else think Marc Jackson is a tool?

**Mac4Lyfe** · 02-21-10, 01:25 PM

Cleveland needs a free throw coach badly...

**ngates815** · 02-21-10, 01:27 PM

Would of been typical Lebron to hit that last second fade-away 3 at the end of the 1st qtr....to bad he can't do that in the 4th when it matters most....ZINGGG

with shaq there is no hope. i know williams is gonna get pissed at me but im telling you lebron misses too many free throws for an elite player. i dont care how many he makes in the last 5 minutes. its these early misses that haunt you later

I think Orlando would remind you that he can and has.

No argument here, it's the weakest aspect of his game. However, he does get a lot more criticism for it than any other 78% FT shooter in the league.

true- i just think he rushes them. he will polish that part of his game over the years.

REALLLY?

oh thats right I remember that shot....and that series.

**HoulihansTX** · 02-21-10, 01:33 PM

Feel bad for Varejao. He was having a great season, now Jamison is going to kill his playing time/mojo.

**williams22** · 02-21-10, 01:34 PM

The reffing against Shaq is absurdly unfair. Guys get to hang on him with no call and anytime he touches anyone for any reason he gets called.

I feel worse for Hickson...having a pretty good rook season....now he'll be lucky to get 15-20 minutes a game.

It's Hickson's second year, not first.

Lebron worked on his throws this year but he still has a long way to go. Unfortunately, everyone on the squad except Mo and Z (when he comes back) are average to poor free throw shooters. I can think of too many games the Cav's have loss due to free throws in the past few years. Dallas was the best free throw shooting team in the league 5 years ago and they still brought in Dr. Free throw who helped them improve 5%.

As far as Shaq... I would force him to shoot free throws underhanded. I think he's 1 for 14 right now in the past 3 games. Ridiculous.

Real log jam at the 4 position for Cavs. How can they divey minutes, and not fuk up players rhythm? Davis has a real clusterfuk on his hands.

**williams22** · 02-21-10, 01:39 PM

Great move by Shaq there.

**williams22** · 02-21-10, 01:41 PM

Good slashing cut by Jamison on the inbounds. When's the last time you've seen the Cavs score on a baseline inbounds?
