heres where mike brown gets under my skin a bit..game still in the balance...ain't nothing working on offense...and he has ben and andy on the floor at the same time...ugh..i know there isn't much option, but hickson and either andy/ben, but this is a seriously gimped lineup..we got get back to attacking
i think he wants to keep the defense goin, i see what you mean though..
that's where it'd be awful nice to have joe smith, situations like the one right now.

Because we have a nice lead and Andy and Ben have played balls out on defense tonight. Mo,Bron,and D West can create plenty of offfense while Big Ben and Wild Thing create havoc inside.
It might seem like a minor play but Bron laying out on the floor like that was a huge play. Guys can not help but see that and be motivated. Things like that are what Lebron the best player in the game.

our whole defense is motivated by lebron... they see him taking over, and they are in the faces of every boston player at the other end of the floor...
we will never lose if he plays like this, not during the year, not in the playoffs.

That half court shot should've been continuation right there.
And how are they allowed to get away with hack-a-Ben when he doesn't have the ball???

It should also be noted that Doc calling for cheap fouls on Ben when his team is down by 20 is about as classless as it gets. And Ben has hit 4 of 8.

Ok, going back to my days as a hockey player. Mike Browns needs to go to the end of the bench and send a goon out and put a hard foul on a Boston player.

3:20 CLE - D. Gibson makes a 23-foot three-pointer from the right corner. Assist: S. Pavlovic

i have no problem with doc rivers hacking ben to send him to the line, i have a problem with the rule...
they were desperate, and it was the only way they were getting back in the game... and ben made them pay by making some of those...
they should extend the hacking a player time from inside 2:00 to maybe 5:00

Great game. I don't get to see many Cavs games in Colorado. It is great to watch them stomp on Boston.

i have a HUGE problem with doc telling them to keep hacking ben when they were down 20+ with 3 minutes to go..and they took thier starters out..like he was going to make a comeback that way with his bench..

well it's tough to make a comeback when you're using up fouls with your starters...
it's within the rules, it's extremely dumb and doesn't seem right, but you can't knock the guy for doing what nba rules say...
i love that ben knocked some of those down though, it's gotta feel good for a guy that's a punchline for free throw jokes

It's a pretty desperate move for a team that's supposed to be the elite team in the league ... and it still didn't help them much. What a great night!

it is extremely dumb..you do that if you down by less than 10, then it makes sense..he was doing it to ... off the crowd..even the announcers picked up on it..it was awesome that he split the most of them...celtics age is catching up with them...cavs are a defensive monster

i know the celts look bad, but i'm sure they'll get it together, hopefully we can finish 1 in the east and make them come into our barn and win...
i don't know if i would call that game a blowout, because it was hard fought until the 4th, but we controlled that game from the tip, they didn't have a lead once in the game...
cavs gotta keep it goin, keep it together until z comes back...
great night though, best performance of the season.

like i said earlier...this cavs team just don't get intimidated by any team, and i think they really scare the H E double toothpicks out of Boston..had we had this team last year...we'd be defending the crown not boston..no doubt

it was one of those games that really was never in doubt..this team imposed thier defensive will and boston had no answer

i really didn't want to see boston end our perfect home record either, i know big picture it doesn't mean a ton, i don't think it'd have any effect on us in the playoffs, long term, because of our battle-tested history, but we would not have heard the end of that...
we're gonna eventually lose one, i just don't want it to be them.

in all honesty, it could come a week from tonight when the hornets come to the q... they're a tough team that's had our number the last few seasons...

Yea, Chris Paul always seems to light it up against us.
What a game tonight! We controlled the game from start to finish and it was really never in doubt we were going to win. Props to Boston though, they played terrible in the 1st half but still found a way to keep it close. LeBron was absolutely unstoppable tonight!

the one thing we have going for us is that of our 6 losses, 2 of them came within the first 3 games of the season... one with boston, one with the hornets, both on the road, and i believe we had double digit leads in both games... and we've really grown since starting off 1-2...
mo williams called himself out after the start, saying his effort wasn't good enough, and since then we have been maybe the best team in the whole league...
it's amazing how quickly he has fit in, i thought it would take at least until the new year for him to really be comfortable, but like i said, after 3 games, he's been a huge part of our success
i love the teardrop runners too, it's almost automatic with him

I'll tell ya' one thing...Guys like Pierce and Allen are gonna have NO LEGS come the playoffs...Not when they're loggin' 40 minutes a night...Especially Allen...And we all know what happens to a long ball straight up shooter when they have no legs...  THAT was impressive with no Z in the line-up...And we needed to pop a top team solidly... Bron did an outstanding job on Pierce,,,TOTAL NO FACTOR... Think I'll watch this one a couple more times this weekend...
Go Browns!!!

Anyone else going to the game? I'm leaving in a few minutes to head to the Q! 
.... i wish.
scream obscenities at paul pierce for me
I definitely did that I have hated Pierce ever since the spitting at Lebron incident...
I usually don't like paying to go to the games unless it's a playoff game, but that was definitely worth it. The crowd seemed like we were in the playoffs from start to finish...
I couldn't believe they gave up so early when they sat "the big 3" with 4:15 left then started hack-a-Ben. It was funny thought that like the 5th time they fouled him they showed him on the Jumbotron and he had a big smile on his face then air-balled the free throw...
Joe Thomas made Justin Timberlake change his name. He didn't want wusses to have the same initials...

the crowd was amazing, especially the 4th quarter
i've already heard some celtic fans saying it was just the cavs catching them at the right time...
horse you-know-what, they needed that one, and for 2 and a half quarters they played like they needed it...
you could have easily said the celtics caught the cavs at the right time, without z, who's absence takes us from a team that can score 100+ on any given night to a team who struggles to reach 90...
boston fans, always playing it down.
face it boys, the cavs are simply better.
