Sheridan reporting that Shaq is looking great and has been working hard to stay in shape.

Parker is playing the way he's been playing IMO, they're just working through him a little more tonight.

They're playing great team ball. Lots of movement without the ball. Where are the Mike Brown haters?

Goin' through the motions and making it look EASY.

Toronto might not want to hold that 8 spot if Bosh is too messed up--they might be better off getting into the lottery.

I don't think it's gonna matter what Toronto does, I think the Bulls are going to end up in 8th.

The Cavs will win this one, but they can't seem to put away the Raptors...

Toronto holds the tie breaker, so that's a plus for them...I suppose, I'm not sure the right to face this team in the first round is a plus really.

They're turning up the tempo now, Cavs aren't keeping up--had they done this in the 2nd quarter they'd probably be winning. Won't be surprised if they come back and win--we'll see how hard the Cavs push to finish them off.

Maybe they'll turn it up with em, could help them have a say in who they get to face.

I really don't understand why Lebron and the starters are playing 30+ minutes.

Strategy?

Would you rather knock out the Raptors from playoff contention who will have guys like Bosh and Hedo.

Or would you want to play Chicago?

Just some thoughts but I don't see them really sitting until the last couple games.

Cavs just making the extra passes tonight.

Parker gives up a good 3 for Jawad to get a great look.

Get them out before someone rolls an ankle or breaks a nose

I think from a coaches stand point, the way they played early on, they earned the right to stay on the floor and finish this game.

No Boobie, even in this game? Did he fuck Brown's wife or something?

Boobie is really not that good of an overall player. He shoots the 3, that's it. If he didn't have LeBron, he wouldn't even be thought of.

Great win, they made it look easy. I suppose maybe they'd rather take on Rose instead of Bosh--I would agree.

Although he has improved, mainly due to getting bigger and healthy, he just doesn't give anything more than AP especially when AP plays like he did tonight.

Shot effectively (50% from deep), rebounded well (8), made the extra passes (6), and played very good defense (3 steals).

The thought of giving him some of Mo's minutes came up, but Mo has been shooting 50%+ from the field in his last 5 games and has shot 45% from 3 during that span averaging 16 and 6.

Yeah AP struggled on Friday against the Hawks, didn't see Sunday; but he looked really good tonight.
