Hoping for a much needed W.

I think West needs to be put back into the starting lineup here soon, he is play much better.

The problem is he could run naked down the center of I77 tonight at 3am for no reason what soever. I think you can live with a bench player leaving the reservation, but drama in the starting lineup can be dangerous. Have you looked this guy in the eyes? The lights are on but.....

Drama is drama period. If Cleveland were afraid West's incidents would effect the team he would no longer be on the Cavs roster.

He should be starting now, he has his legs and has played pretty well recently.

He's hasn't been that great recently--he's been pretty inconsistent and his minutes have been steady. Actually in the last 2 games I think he's played more minutes than the previous few and we lost both.

The starting lineup his fine--bottom line is the players need to pick it up and be more consistent night in and night out. And it would certainly help if the coach would play a guy when he's on fire--I understand why Brown didn't have Boobie in the other night, most likely had something to do with defense, but you gotta score points too.

This would be a quality win and they could really use it right now--definitely don't want to drop this one at home.

I hoping to read that Brandon Roy along with teammate LaMarcus Aldridge can lead injury ridden, Trailblazers to the win.

Knuckle I believe. Not the game I was talking about though.


It's funny how they lost their first two games of the season and people started writing off the Cavs. Then no one did for awhile. Now they've lost two straight and people start writing them off again. It's hilarious.

Are you calling them injury ridden because of Oden? Because I'm sorry--you can't really say that about them based on Oden, they've never really played with him and they've still been good.

Well no shit. There isn't a team in the league that is championship material right now besides the Lakers. No one is even close. You can't honestly tell me you think the Celtics are close...

If I was coaching I'd put Coby Karl in right now--for real. Give him a shot and see what he does, maybe it'll wake somebody up.

Nope, I have a feeling Brown has no command in the locker room with the veterans like Z, Shaq, and LeBron.

I think the Z benching for the record has been a huge behind the scenes issue that many people are over looking. Brown has never faced an issue like that where he absolutely fucked up and he had no plausible excuse for what he did. The guys didn't like it and I don't think everyone has settled it yet.

ugh, I know we are only 20 something games in, but this is not a championship caliber team. They are a middle of the road playoff team that no one remembers at the end of the year.

I didn't like it either, there was no reason for Z not to come in that game. He got his moment but he shouldn't have had to wait--he's more than paid his dues.
