Lebron will play, but my question is..IS Lebron REALLY ready to go or is this ego with the Super Bowl in Miami, his buddy D-Wade going for the Heat, national audience & all of the stars out to see this game? Hoping I'm wrong and he's healthy & not being dumb...GO CAVS!!!

Cavs trail 17-16 after the 1st. Dan Gibson with 9 points. Cavs could be in trouble though...Shaq made BOTH of his free throws when he went to the line!

You just noticed that?
He's had it all year. I kind of think he is trying to grow it out into a tail. Kinda like those monk fighters with the sweat band on.
Not really sure though.

Sasha has the potential to be a very good player. He's been given amazing athletic ability and was already a pretty good shooter. If he gets his confidence up and learns to play tough d every possession, he definitely can develop into a starter in this league. I personally think the offense looks better when he's in and Larry's out. I'd love to see us play an up-tempo running game with Gibson, Sasha, Lebron, Gooden, and Andy. I've wanted to see it all year. That lineup, imo, would play great together.

Can I get an explanation on this one: Why on earth did Mike Brown have Pollard, Andy, Snow, Hughes, and Sasha on the floor at one time?  Gibson has 16 pts and he mysteriously disappears for 12 mins on the bench. I think MB is a good defensive coach, an ok offensive coach, and quite possibly the worst coach in history at putting lineups with chemistry together. We let Miami back in the game.

Brown has left me scratching my head a few time during his time here. He makes the opposing coach's job easier, with his substutions patterns. He is so predictable, and doesn't ride the hot hand till its cold. I could go on and on, but I'm just one of those Cavs fans that are hard too please

I'm sort of the same way. I'm happy we're winning but there is a ton of potential on this team which I feel isn't being used right. My biggest problem is with the lineups. He puts incompatible lineups together. Up until this week we had a starting lineup with no outside shooters and a pg who doesn't shoot. Snow and Z are slowdown, halfcourt players. Lebron and Hughes are running players. A player like Sasha will get anywhere from 2 to 25 minutes in a game. Same goes with Andy. Mike Brown let Miami back into this game by playing Pollard, Andy, Sasha, Snow, and Hughes together for a couple minutes. That lineup couldn't beat the Celtics. There's no way we should lose this game. On a positive note, with Gibson in the lineup I can say "boobie" a lot more

Lebron needs a week at the Atlantis, in the Bahamas. He is flat as Olive Oil.

I'd like to know what our record would be if we shot 75% every game this season. It hurts to lose b/c of free throws.

I've seen more bizarre. It's been 10 years but I still remember a game in like 6th grade where we were down by 1 pt. with 20 seconds left and the coach told us to foul. This one guy who really didn't know anything about basketball went up and karate chopped the guy inbounding the ball in the neck. It was a foul though
btw, this game sucked.

Again, imo, Mike Brown is the worst coach in the league at managing his lineup and subs. You need a three, logic tells you to have Jones, Gibson, James, and Marshall in the game. Mike Brown is not a logical man at understanding who to have in the game at the same time.

Sucked it right. I'm glad I didn't watch it.
Too bad the whole world saw the game. It was the 2nd hottest ticket in Miami this week. Everyone who was anyone was there. They all got to see our glaring weekness, free throws.
Giving up a big point total in the 4th means very little if you just hit your throws. They blew one tonight.

I'm know i'm going to get alot of heat for saying this but....Lebron lost us that game for us....Down the stretch, Wade took over the game...Thats what stars do.
On the road with the hometeam trying to make a comeback, you have to go to your star player and your star player is supposed to come through for you...Lebron wanted the ball in the last two minutes but can't make free throws!!!!!....C'mon, he is supposed to be the next Micheal Jordan, right??...Jordan would have made those FT's and Lebron missed 3 out of 4 in the last 2 mins.
Maybe i'm being too critical but I just don't see Lebron as the second coming...In my eyes, Wade is more of a clutch player than Lebron...Again, I'm a Cavs fan....i'd love nothing more than for Lebron to prove me wrong, i just don't see it happening anytime soon

Didn't see the foul, but a few message boards I get on are already calling for a suspension ala Kobe on Ginobili. Again, I probably won't see it until later this morning.
One of the bigger LBJ fans, but his game does have some glaring weaknesses. His FT shooting IS pathetic and he has the body of a linebacker, yet he wants to constantly play "smaller" than he is and hoist jumpers? IF he hasn't already done it, he should hire a personal shooting coach like a Mark Price, but would that be too much for his ego?
For everyone saying that Mike Brown needs to go or is a bad coach, I'm starting to wonder if he isn't just a puppet for this team & LBJ is really the head coach??

If kobe didn't get suspended I don't think anyone would think that LBJ would... but he probably will now... though I don't think his foul was as bad as Kobe's....
