Cavs domination over the Wizards continues. Cavs were once again trailing in the 4th quarter before pulling this one out. Mo and Boobie both played a solid 4th quarter. Watching Boobie over the last couple nights makes you wonder what he could have done if Mike Brown used him properly

Anyways, Cavs get back to back road wins.

Go Cavs

Only saw a little bit of the game. If they can figure out any kind of a defense this team is gonna be solid. I love looking at the box score and seeing 5 or 6 guys in double digits.

I am really liking what I am seeing out of the guys who need to step up in the Quitter's absence. If the Cavs finish the season .500 or slightly better I'll be content.

If the Cavs end up .500 I will have mixed emotions....I want to see them win every night, but I also want to see a complete rebuild. Pippen leaving really set this organization back a couple of years.

Complete rebuild almost never work in the NBA due to the uncertainty of the draft lottery. Just ask teams like Minnesota, etc..

The Cavs are now in 1st place in the Central division.

If the playoffs started today, the Cavs would be the 3rd seed, the Heat would be the 6th :)

Actually last year the NBA stopped designating the first three seeds for division winners and just allowed the eight playoff teams to be in order of their record with one stipulation that a division leader can be no lower than a fourth seed. So right now we'd be 4th cause Orlando has a better record then us despite being second to Atlanta in their division. Not trying to be a dick. Just letting you know that the format changed. I just learned it from playing NBA 2k11 lol

The cavs might actually be buyers near the trade dead line. Jameson will be gone for sure and maybe the cavs can pick up a solid young player for the future

Hey it would just mean we play the Heat in the first round. I'm all for being the reason they are out of the playoffs early :)

i doubt there's a jamison trading partner (especially with injuries and poor play leaving him on the sidelines), but it might get to the point where jamison initiates a buy-out

Jamison (buy out from new team) plus the trade exception would surely free up a lot of space if a team has a star player that wants out and a team that wants cap relief. Just have to make sure the player is under contract for a few seasons or is a RFA so that we can match offers. Don't want to give all our pieces for a guy just to leave at the end of the year.

The fight for the 6-8 seeds in the east is going to be very interesting. This might be the type of year where 38-44 gets you into the playoffs.

Love the way this team battles from beginning to end. Boobie and JJ have stepped up big time.
