Lue needs to stick with the lineup of Bron, Love, TT, Korver, JR.

that lineup absolutely works.

Yes we need TT and Korver in the game IMO

I'd like to see Ante and Osman to get about 10 minutes too.. Zizic is a traditional center like JV and could help defend him, and cedi could help slow down the perimeter shots. Guys like Clarkson and Hood should have a really short leash until they prove they aren't going to be garbage every night. I started out loving Clarkson when he got here, but I hate, and i mean really hate his game now.

I had my doubts about going small last night with Hill and putting TT on the bench

To piggy back off some comments on the locked thread, yes this has to play on their minds. Toronto pretty much controlled the game and to have it swiped away in the fashion... I mean, it just has to linger in the back of their minds in a negative way.

And for us, it has to instill some confidence and etc. We got man handled, brutally... but found a way to win.

Not playing Larry Nance at all is still on my mind though. Why?

i dunno, but we need him

love cant stop big V. but TT did, and we need to rotate TT with nance jr. gives us huge rebounding and defensive presence this series.

lebron needs to run point, have hill come off the bench.

Love should be the 4, period, him at the 5 has never made sense to anyone but Lue, and after Love's comments today, I think he's tired of being put in a position where he can't succeed by his coach

not playing nance was dumb...he's a high energy guy and defends well.. I much rather it was Clarkson who go the DNP

I understand your thought process but the only person Nance can take minutes from is Tristan... and Tristan, for whatever reason, has been balling the last couple games.... You can't play them both at the same time...

Fun fact: There are three games tomorrow pitting teams from Cleveland and Toronto.

- Day/Night Doubleheader with the Blue Jays @ Indians
- Cavs @ Raptors

What do you think Cleveland’s record will be?

Nance could give some minutes and runs the floor. Not overwhelming offensively, but can score or draw fouls. TT impresses me when he hustles, and these guys walking back and standing around is bad IMO. Nance brings pressure and pace. We need to be mobile and get paint more; taking turns missing threes kills leads. Kill clock and shorten the game. Some refs might help.

Nance seems a little jittery in the playoffs. His energy is good but he seems to over pursue a bit and doesn't have the greatest hands on the pick and roll.

What a win by Utah .. I'm shocked they won a game in Houston

in terms of the Cavs: it'll be 1-1 IMO. We got what we needed though

I agree. It allows me to see the whole thing, then doze off during the Boston game if I want

Would love 3-0, would be happy with 2-1 as long as one of the wins is the Cavs.

I think a Tribe sweep is more likely than a Cavs win tonight, but we'll see!

Cavs are playing with house money after winning game 1... You go on the road hoping for a split and that's already guaranteed.

I expect the Cavs to come out and play hard.. if they have the lead or it's close, they will continue to play hard... but if they get down by more than 15 like they did in game 1, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't pack it in and rest LeBron...

Offense is pretty weak but seems to finish well for LBJ. I think his motor and hard work is worth some minutes. Two - oh would be grand!

Down by 3 going into the 2nd quarter. Lebron with a lot of time on the bench.

it's early, but this one will be tough to win again. IMO, this will be 1-1

Start of this game still somewhat rocky, but better than previous.
