Cavs @ Suns

[FArting]

Mozgov Len
Love Leuer
James Tucker
Smith Booker
Irving Knight

Just hope Booker and Warren both play around 30 mins regardless of how their playing. They need to learn to play through when their having good nights and when their having bad nights.

Only players really worth watching on this team anymore are those two and maybe Len.

 

[Absolute Zero]

This might be a "fun" one to offer score predictions.

I'll go with
Cavs 117
Suns 98

I know, a bit optimistic, but I'm a glass half full guy

 

[PDXChris]

The Cavs got throttled the other night by the Trailblazers. I hope you do the same. How funny would it be to see the Cavs get throttled by a team that just got throttled by the 76ers?

Suns 96
Cavs 91

Ugh. I just watched a short interview with McD on the Suns pre-game show. It sounded to me like Jeff is still under a mandate to make the playoffs and that he can save his job if it happens. Horrible approach to the new year IMO, who cares if we're only a couple games out right now. We have no real chance of catching Philadelphia for that last spot but I like our odds of doing that better than our chances of making the playoffs.

 

[Catlover]

Here we go again. Watch how much room they give Tucker. They are doubling off of him regularly just like Philadelphia did whenever he was on the court. He has to get aggressive and demand the ball and once he gets it, he needs to shoot or take it to the hoop.

 

[Catlover]

Nice to see Tucker make that 3, maybe that will help. The defense actually stopped and debated whether to close out on him, or so it appeared.

Arizona Cardinals in the house?

I don't care for tanking, just go out and play hard if it results in that..so be it. I am not a fan of the "losing mentality"

 

[nashman]

Booker starts hot then is on bench to play price and weems??? Wth horny just clueless with lineups.

I'm against trying to lose but I'm not against making something other than winning the top priority. If your veterans aren't good enough to make you a winner, I see nothing wrong with investing extra time in the development of the younger players. But you need some balance, the last thing you want to do is devalue your veterans while teaching your young players to accept losing. IOW, don't follow the Philadelphia script.

 

[Catlover]

I like the effort so far tonight.

 

[sunsfan88]

Kyrie Irving is just too much for Knight, holy crap.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Booker needs to learn to keep shooting the ball when he's hot.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Meh. A lot closer than I expected. Perhaps the Cavs are a bit worn out.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Nice little run, we're w/n 3!

 

[Absolute Zero]

Make that down 4

 

[Absolute Zero]

OK, w/n 1 thanks Bknight

BKnightshamalan!

Hey, I kind of like the ring to that.

 

[AfroSuns]

I was just thinking why the hell is Len not back in the game in 2nd half, Chandler went and commit that bonehead moving screen

 

[Mainstreet]

Heartbreak on that foul by Chandler. It cost the Suns a 3 point shot.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Well that sucked

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Because skillet hands did nothing in the first half.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Well the outcome remains the same. (L) But, most of the team do get a little gold star for effort.

 

[95pro]

Hate to pull the ref card, but the Cavs got a few calls their way tonight. We try to do the tricks of the trade, but we seem to get called for them.

I liked it when Tucker tricked Lebrat on his 3 when Tucker didn't fall for the pump fake. Then Tucker gets Lebron to step on his own foot and trip out of bounds.

 

[SweetD]

The team did seem to be playing together and communicate more. I do wonder if Bled could be part of the problem also.
