Whoa, whoa, whoa....don't try confusing us with the facts.  We were trying to lay a "Wade gets too many calls" foundation so we'd have something to complain about if the Cavs lose tonight. It's normal Clevelander thinking.

Unfortunately I don't have those glasses.... I've tried watching the Cavs with my "Duke gets every call" glasses on, but they really only work when Duke is playing.. and they work exceptionally well when Duke is playing and Dickie V is calling the game.

Ain't gonna matter anyway...We're screwed...
Not only does the NBA schedule this as a back to back...On the road...But do it with Miami having yesterday off and us on the end of a 4 in 5 nights...
And...We didn't land in Miami until 7:00AM this morning...Sat on the runway for over 4 hours...BS...
These guys will be fallin' down in the 3rd quarter...
I'll be shocked if we score more than 85 tonight...And more shocked if we win...
Go Browns!!!

Couple that with the fact that Wade will probably shoot like 800 free throws...

it also irks me that boston and la only had to go through the 4/5 once, we are doing it for the second time this year.
and it's not so much the numbers with wade, it's some of the garbage calls he gets..
we've heard the whole re-routed thing, wade isn't even close to lbj's size and gets whistles when it seems like nobody really touched him.
i'm not trying to take anything away from him, because he's an extraordinary player, but i love the mvp talks with him this year.
lebron gets the shaft last year because he wasn't on a good enough team. now wade's team is equally as bad and some are trying to make an argument for him. he's also not putting up the numbers lbj did last year.
not that i care about the mvp, i just find it funny.
you can give dj mbenga the mvp for all i care, i want the larry o'brien in cleveland.

For most of that 4th quarter, I seriously havent seen professional players play that hard in a long long long time. That was fun. (as long as we hold on in the final 32 seconds)

Yeah, that 4th qtr was one of those quarters that really makes you remember why you love sports so much, like Lebron just said, it was magical.

one of the most enjoyable games this season...that was fun to watch..and damn are we tough when we need to be. now if our bench would get in gear..wally/gibson..ugh. As good as lebron was tonight, i think Andy was the reason we pulled it out...he was everywhere
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. -John Wayne

Great play down the stretch.... they were ticking me off in the 3rd quarter. Kind of standing around waiting.
Bring it back to the Q!

reminded me a bit of the 95 Indians...
Given the circumstances (4th game in 5 nites on the road, plane got in at 6am, down 11, It's March, etc, etc.) this was the biggest win of the year, period.
Mo and LB defy the odds...
How bout the D by Andy tonite?!
I heart winning

ya know, you can whine about ac and his catch phrases. but on that dunk, lbj really did throw the hammer down, nobody was stopping that, a brick wall wouldnt have stopped that, it was awesome.

That 4th qtr has got to be one of the most exciting endings to a game Ive seen in a long long time. Andy and Z played some kick butt D. The team wanted it more than the Heat did plain and simple. That game made my day after the nightmare at work today.

the stat that blew my mind was 29-0 when scoring more than 100 in a game and 33-0 going back to last season. Tonights game was amazing probably the best come back of the season
Hunter + Dart = This is the way.

We were down by 7 midway through the fourth last night on the road, came back to win. We were down 11 tonight midway through the fourth, came back to win. Two HUGE wins on the road against playoff teams. Let's turn this momentum into another 10 game win streak!

If I'm not mistaken, we are only 6 wins away from clinching the Division Title... These Guys are Good 
Browns is the Browns

I think the Magic number is 7. Detroit can still get 53 wins, and we sit at 47. Seven more wins (or Detroit loses) would clinch it.

Purp, I'd be shocked if Smith didn't come here.
He's stated in public that he wants to be back here...it's evident that he wants to join a contender...the speculation is us or the Spurs, and we have the ability to pay him much more.

The deal is already worked out, its just formality at this point, him clearing waivers. the only team with the money to match us would be the Grizzlies and its not reported that they would or have reason to pick him up.

it would be best for everyone if the cavs came out guns ablaze tomorrow, put the bucks away early, and allow lbj, mo, and z to rest while the bench picks up the slack, maybe allow d-west a little time to knock the rust off... he's been good, but you can still see he's not quite there.
it never works out that way, but best case scenario is we get our guys rest, and prepare for the showdown friday, and kg will not be ready to go. there is no reason we don't go in there and knock them around.

I'm sure they are interested ... the best they can offer him though is a veteran minimum. The only way he goes there is if he REALLY wants to.

Like in football, I don't put much stock in clinching a divsion--outside of guaranteeing a playoff spot,...I mean, like, Detroit is gonna win their next 23,...I'll bet the house on that not happening.
More interesting to watch how the others do, as far as seeding the whole conference.
You can win a division, football or basketball, and still be seeded low,....
Baby steps though,...I'll take 'em

Well, it is a banner. I agree though, it means pretty much nothing in the grand scheme of the playoffs though. (Outside a guaranteed 4 seed)

Yes, hopefully this team realizes that the goal is not winning the division and doesn't have a brief let down... even a very brief let down could cost them the bigger goal of homecourt throughout.. at least homecourt throughout the east...

yeah, normally I would not be too worried about the Bucks, but under the circumstances, we could have a let down, especially with the big showdown on Friday ahead... Scott Skiles has that group playing gritty basketball of late.. they played us pretty well in Milwaukee, and I saw recently that they took the Hornets to the buzzer in N.O..... Add to the fact that they are fighting for the 8 seed... Hopefully it's bizness as usual at the Q tomorrow nite!

it's kinda cool that we're winning only our second division title, but i could care less, the real accomplishment would be finishing 1st in the nba in winning percentage and getting homecourt throughout the playoffs.
