We are looking good right, now still battling his cold.
It's in the second right now with about 9:21 left, Cavs are leading 32 to 31 after a big slam dunk by our very own sideshow bob.
Go Cavs!!!

Not bad - Jersey is playing better tonight but luckily I think we are too - need to win this game IMO. Don't give NJ any chance to breath.

Nice shot from LBJ there, man that was a good offensive formation and play.
I don't know a whole lot about basketball, what does it mean when James holds up a fist? Is that a certain formation or offensive set?

I want the Cleveland Browns to be my pallbearers so they can let me down for the last time.

Waving towels in a Cleveland atmosphere looks weird.
But I like it. Maybe they should put orange towels on seats at CBS for the Steelers game.

i think that's the sign for isolation...
there's really no hiding that, it's pretty obvious when you set it up, lebron just calls it... you see it at the end of quarters usually...
the good thing is, they're not going to it as much as they used to...
i like seeing it when we have the other team against the ropes, when they've held them scorless for a few minutes, when you set up the iso for lebron, and he gets it (and/or) the foul, you almost always see the other team take a timeout, and that's due to the crowd, both home and away...

they need to notch it up, just like they did in the fourth on sunday...
the defense in this game has not been that great, they need to shut these guys down...

Really good game, now let's come out on top. The Cavs are playing well and if they don't win it will be a shame.

Cavs showed a lot of heart tonight... Fighting for every board! Up by 9 with 45 seconds to go.

Pavs is really stepping up this series. But when you're practicing against LBJ for three years, you probably will get pretty good.
And yes, I am talking about practice.

Another great team effort. As much as I was skeptical about Mike Brown....it seems the rest of the team has stepped up. We are playing great team D and we might have begun to see how Lebron makes everybody else better. People were talking about Chicago giving the pistons a run. If we can get there this team has shown me that they have the talent to get it done. New Jersey played tough again and just seemed to get overmatchdduring crunch time. Sasha's reverse was SWEEEEEEEEET. C'mon Cavs got to make it happen.

Sounded like a good game. I just got home and was able to see the final 40 seconds, but listened most of the evening. This was a big win. I'd like to steal one of two in New Jersey, but if they can win the first game there, it'd be over.

great closeout tonight...
the killer instinct was there... the crowd was amazing, and the cavs used that to their advantage... that was as wild as i've seen them this year...
that's 10 wins in a row if you count the last 4 they won going into the playoffs...
and saturday, in new jersey, they have a great chance to make a statement, you can show the entire world that you have one of the most dominant defenses in the league... it's not far fetched to say this defense is as good as any in the league... the best defenses play with that intensity in the 4th quarter, and the cavs have done that in every single game in these playoffs...
you can also crush the mindset of new jersey with a win saturday, you can end this series in 4 or 5 games, and sit back and watch to see if chicago can fight their way back into the series...
more importantly, you can get to work on detroit, because that's who it's going to be...

Thats a long ass break b/w games  Hopefully it won't cool the CAVS down none. I see NJ winning one on their floor and the CAVS winning this series at home. I am really starting to believe that it is possible for this team to win it all. Just the intensity they have been playing with,,WOW! WOO! LETS GO CAVS!!!!!!!

Funny you mention Mike Brown.. This morning I was reading a blog from the Dispatch Browns beat writer; James Walker.. here tis: http://www.dispatch.com/dispatch/content/sports/blog_walker.htmlMay 7, 2007 The love-hate of Mike Brown It’s time to give Mike Brown some love, everyone. Admit it. We all took turns ripping the Cavaliers coach for his offensive deficiencies. We love offense. The production is much easier to track. But as much as we ignored it, Brown’s jar was always half full. In fact, it was always two-thirds full. Mike Brown knows defense and Mike Brown knows winning. He teaches both equally well. Brown’s style produced 100 victories his first two seasons. He’s 12-6 in the playoffs and last week became the first Cavs coach to sweep a postseason series. Lenny Wilkens never swept a series and neither did Mike Fratello, two coaches highly revered in Cleveland. It’s time we start revering Brown as well. He never wavered from his principles, despite constant bickering from his millionaire players. Now the Cavs are three wins away from the Eastern Conference finals and the bickering has stopped. We should stop complaining, too. We no longer have a case. Brown can point up and say “scoreboard, baby!’’ So from this point forward, I propose a mid-year resolution: We will love Mike Brown for the defensive coach that he is, and not hate him for the offensive coach that he’s not.

I think NJ will definitely pull out at least one on their home floor, but I hope we can steal the next game. If the Cavs do, book this series! Go Cavs!

i think they can... the chance is definitely there...
i believe the pistons will be the hardest obstacle for this team...
the pistons might be the best team in the league right now... san antonio has looked great, but the pistons have destroyed a pretty good chicago team...
the cavs have to learn to keep the score close with the pistons... if they can go into the 4th quarter with a close score, they can in fact beat them, nobody wants to play close games with us, they know lebron can take over games, and with larry hughes knocking down shots, and drew gooden playing great basketball, it's becoming tougher to put all of your focus on lebron...
as far as mike brown goes, i can proudly say i have never ripped him, i think he's a great coach for this team, he preaches the kind of defense that can win championships, he comes from a good basketball upbringing in san antonio and indiana...
and he's doing all this winning without a natural point guard running this team...
and i applaud him for not changing his gameplan because of the critics... he has stuck to it, and the results are backing him up
and most importantly, this team seems to be buying into his philosophy...
a sweep of new jersey would be ubelievable for this team... you need confidence against detroit, you cannot play scared, you have to have the mindset that golden state is using, they don't care who they play, they just go for it...
i don't mean styles, because golden state's style is the polar opposite of the cavs, but just that idea that you don't bow down to a team just because they're better than you, you go out and attack them with everything you have... dallas was the better team, the warriors just wanted it more...
