Just figured I would start a thread for the big game tonite.
For anyone out of town, the game is on NBA TV.
I heart winning

Looks like Z is a gametime decision. I am really hoping he can go tonite.

Is NBATV a cable channel or a pay thing?

Hopefully they keep getting used to each others moves, man the are the Celtics that good or is our D that bad right now? Oh!, those turnovers drive me crazy!

Cavs aren't off to a great start. Some of the offensive problems with the new guys are becoming pretty obvious. I've seen Wallace and Z lined up next to each other a few times already, a few turnovers over poor communication, and the like. 16-9 Boston with 5:47 left in the first.

it comes with the nba league pass...

I haven't had a chance to see him yet and don't recall him either way from misc games on TV before the trade. What about him makes you nervous?

Thanks. I have WOW and they do not have it.
Channelsurfing.net is not working for some reason also.

That's it? Okay, I guess no point in arguing if that's it. However, to the others, can I remind them that on an off night shooting last night the 24 year-old point guard, who the Cavs hold Bird rights to, went for 7 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. And he doesn't even really know the offense yet. But, if that's it...

I haven't seen any good from him yet . I think so far tonight he has 1 TO and 2 shots(1 airball and the other barely knicked the rim) to say he hasn't adjusted well is an understatement.

He looked pretty good yesterday ... almost JasonKiddeque at times. His shot hasn't been falling yet, but he looks more like a ball handler/passer anyway. He hasn't looked good tonight though ... but nobody really has on the Cavs either.

You don't set your sample size very large, do ya? By the way, he had 5 points and 6 assists in his first game as a Cav, which wasn't bad either. I just find it very difficult to write a guy off after three games at point guard, one of which was good. That is like writing off a QB after a preseason game.

I am very disappointed watching this so far. Doesn't mean we can't turn it around still tonite, but we can not get down by more than 15. We NEED to keep this around 10 at the half if we want to have a chance tonite.
Give the Celtics credit, they are exploiting matchups

seems like mike brown is still trying to get a feel for his big man rotation...
and it's showing tonight, because we're playing a good team, whereas we played 2 lottery teams the last 2 games... but these are growing pains, they are going to come for a few weeks while these guys get used to each other...
and for those dogging on delonte west, realize that as a point guard you don't just get traded to a team, and start running the offense...
he probably won't get a firm grip on the offense until after training camp next fall...
but he can push the ball up the court, and as we all know, if he plays defense, he'll see minutes on the floor...

Wow ... no kidding. He's awful! I thought this was NBATV ... they don't have their own broadcast crew? We have to listen to Boston homers all game?
The Cavs just aren't getting bounces either. We've had some wide open shots that just clang off the rim ... meanwhile, Boston has been getting all kinds of lucky bounces.

I'm pretty sure that NBA TV uses the home announcers for all of their games.

Yes, these couple of games was the first time I've ever seen West in detail, is he really that bad? I'm not sure, he just seems really nervous when he shoots and on top of that he has very streaky passing so far. We have to hope he cools down and gets comfortable here in Cleveland or it will be Hughes all over again... 
But other than that I like the new aquistions of Wally, Joe Smith, and Big Ben. They seem to all contribute in their own special way. I can't wait until Wally gets going and gets his 3 point stroke.

How can you say "that's it."
Jesus man............give it some time before you deem a guy to be worthless.
Guys..........we were fueled by excitement and energy our first game. After that, it is typical for a team to struggle while it attempts to find chemistry and rhythm.
I don't think we will be able to start making determinations on this trade for awhile yet. More than likely, it is going to take the team some time before they find their groove. I am not saying they will, but it's too early to make any permanent evaluations.

I agree vers.... I knew we would struggle... but wow we've looked bad so far...
with that said, we just nailed two threes and are back within 5... if we can keep it under 6 or so at the half we'll be alright...
our guys need to learn to play together... even if we lose, here is a good situation where our guys can learn to play with each other.
