Hey, Ryan Hollins, they're called Free Throws for a reason... They're free...
And I HATE anyone that does any retarded hand motion after making a 3... Looking at you Chalmers...
I like how Miami "picks up their intensity" when guys like Harengody are playing.. Has nothing to do with the fact that he sucks...
Why our offense seemed be running through him for a bit I'll never understand..

Missed a dozen free throws and still only trailing by six is not too shabby.
Trailing by six because you've missed a dozen free throws, on the other hand...

I'm hoping for an Indiana/OKC NBA Finals. Just so everyone in the NY/LA/Etc markets can go "Wait... What?"

I'm loving the discrepancy in what is considered a foul for each of the teams here. Jamison gets laid out going to the basket with no call. Haslem gets a tap on the wrist and he's at the line.
Well, it was fun to hang around for 3.5 quarters.

I wonder what would happen if Eyenga actually understood the game of basketball and how to use his abilities in it..

Denver wouldn't be a bad option either (stupid Gallinari's ankle)

They we're my first choice, but I honestly think OKC is going to destroy the West this year.

Cavs make a shot, Miami Makes a shot
Miami misses a shot, Cleveland Misses a shot or turns it over

Hollins, Harangody and Eyenga combined for 45 minutes tonight, Cavs shot 39% from the field and 67% from the line, and still led late in the 3rd. Not a moral victories guy, but I'm not going to complain.

Hollins and Eyenga i won't complain about, They bring Size and Athleticism...
Harengody on the other hand... Ugh. I love the guy, because he nailed a 3 pointer in NBA2k11 for me to beat my bro once, and for the next year anytime I saw him i'd yell his name (cause it's a fun name to yell)
But he's horrible..

They (Hollins and Eyenga) also bring a complete inability to score the ball. My point is, they don't sniff 2/3 of NBA rosters, and they saw significant action tonight against a team that's supposed to be the best in the league, and the team didn't get blown out.

PG - Irving, Sessions
SG - Parker, Eyenga
SF - Casspi, Gee
PF - Jameson, Thompson
C - Verajao, Hollins
Bench: Gibson, Samuels, Harengody
That's basically what we have going right now, right?
I'd try a starting 5 of
Irving
Gee
Jameson
Thompson
Verajao
Let Irving run it, Gee be "OH EM" from the 2 Guard, Allow Jameson to stand on the 3 point line and shoot 3s all day like he likes to do, and develop a defensive tandem with TT and AV...
I think i'm ganna buy NBA2k12 tomorrow...

Has Boobie been playing more 2 this year? I know he's not a true PG, but I assumed Sessions was only still around cause Gibson was hurt.
With Gee's ever grow abailities, I think we're a solid 2 away from being a constant #6-8 seed... So if we can get someone (not named Casspi) to push Gee to the bench to bring the energy off of it, I think we'll be in good shape...

Being a constant six to eight seed is one of the worst things to be in the NBA.

I believe the Bulls were the 9-seed when they won the lottery that got them Derek Rose.
I know that's the exception, not the rule, but it would have been a lot better than getting shredded by the Celtics in the one year that the Celtics won it all

Bulls had the 9th best lottery odds, not the 9th seed in the conference. They were 4th in the Central, 11th overall I believe. The best non-playoff team has only won it once in the current lottery setup, 1993 Orlando Magic.

Well, our odds for getting a high draft pick just got a whole lot better, because Kyrie is out with a concussion

Nice win for the Cavaliers tonight.  Man Sessions had a great, great game. Paul had 1 more rebound, but Sessions had more points and 1 more assist.

I was reading a blog by David Thorpe on ESPN about how the Timberwolves should trade their first round pick for a veteran to help their young team continue their playoff push. They have a comment section below and I posted this. I don't know if this topic has been brought up, but wanted to get your input on this scenario:
Cavs fan here, would you want someone like Anderson Varejao?? If so, what picks/players would you trade for him??
I got two responses...one was:
i wouldnt to me he aint the player he was made out to be and we have big men that already do what he does... lol
and the other:
I'm a Wolves fan and would absolutely take Varejao, but he has really played himself into almost untouchable status right now. We would have to give up something like D. Will, Pekovic/Beasley, the Shell of Brad Miller (expiring contract), and that 1st rounder from the Jazz. And probably take on the Cavs' worst contract, whatever that may be. Even then...dicey.
Thoughts??

Good win tonight to start off the 8 game home swing for the Cavs. How did Kyrie Irving get a concussion? I must have missed the play. I'm assuming it happened against the Heat.

He fits right in there age wise with what we're doing...He's an outstanding Back-Up PG...I'd almost say NO to any offer that wasn't a Lotto pick...Some of these younger guys have to be kept for depth purposes...It's not all about your starting 5...Guys like Gee and Samuels come to mind...
And "V" needs to go to the highest bidder...He doesn't fit the age thing...
Go Browns!!!

Hit his head on DWade's knee as he was falling to the floor after a driving layup. If you watched the Heat game, it was the play where he was laying on the court pounding his fist on the floor for a second or two.

no more talking about trading Andy from me. I won't be upset if we get a bounty from him, but I'm not going to talk about it either. note: the link shows Antawn Jamison but the quote was Andy. http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/quotes_clippers_120208.htmlQuote:
(On the fans’ appreciation for his play): “Since I got to Cleveland, the fans have taken to me. I didn’t speak any English, but every time I would get in a game, I felt like I had somebody behind me, helping and motivating me. The fans did that for me when I got here. And now that they know me, I just want to thank them for everything they’ve done for me.”
(On being a Clevelander): “I feel like my football team is the Browns, my basketball team is the Cavs, and my baseball team is the Indians. That’s all I know. I feel like I’m from here.”

I haven't followed the team at all this year, but I'd absolutely hate it if we traded Andy.
Yes, it's a business and technically a player is a commodity, but at some point they become more than that to the team and the city - and I think that's where we are with Andy just as we were with Z. He's one of us and belongs here - and he's playing well, so why even think about shipping him out?
I think sometimes people just get a little too trade happy in trying to come up with ways to make creative moves... and usually just for the sake of making a move.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

I'm not trading Sessions, Andy or Jamison for anything or anyone that doesn't have a positive impact from day 1 of next season. We still control Sessions and Andy next year, and we don't need to take on a bloated deal just to unload Jamison. Chris Grant is in the driver's seat here.

Sessions can opt out of his deal at the end of this season.
If we can resign him, or have him agree to exercise his option, then I would love to have him here. If he wants to leave in search of a starting role, then I would rather see us get something for him. If I were the team, this is exactly the conversation I would be having with him right now. He's not going to be the difference, this year, between this team winning it all or not. If he is bound and determined to leave, then get value for him today, rather than lose it all at the end of the year.
I am hesitant to trade Andy unless we get a huge, enormous bounty. If I can't get a lotto pick plus at least a young player or 2, I'm just not interested in trading him.
I have gone back and forth on this stuff so much this season that it's crazy. I believe that Andy is one of the top Centers in the NBA right now. He's not super tall, and he's not super big, but he plays his butt off, and I like his chances of grabbing a double double no matter who he is up against.
I know that he is getting older, but he is only 29. Z played really well till he was 33 or so, (and till he was 35 overall) then started slowing down. He had a lot more wear and tear on his body as well. Shaq, while a physical marvel, was also a banger who played until 39. I think that Andy can play really well into his mid 30s. That gives him time to contribute to a championship team here in Cleveland. He also wants to be here. That cannot be overestimated. Though James walked away, other guys who have played for the Cavs have lamented having to leave. Mo Williams, Delonte West) A guy like Andy, who is gaining notoriety this season, and who really likes being in Cleveland can be a help in rehabilitating the image of Cleveland among the players. It certainly can't hurt anyway.
Anyway ..... I keep Andy unless I can really just rob another team blind. He is so important to this team, today, and 54-6 years into the future, that I just cannot see us getting appropriate value back.
