Late night basketball in Oakland as the Cavs take on the Warriors on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Cavs up 46-44 about midway through the 2nd quarter. Monta Ellis continues to show that he just knows how to score, with 16 points thus far. Meanwhile for the Cavs, LeBron has 11 and Jawad Williams continues to shine in his opportunity to play with 8 early points.

Steph Curry with a nasty move. I never thought he would be successful in the League, I am beginning to change my mind about that.

Jawad isn't as bad as I initially thought he was.

Jawad is doing exactly what he did at Carolina. Stretching the D, because he is an outside threat; and playing very solid D.
Cavs up 8 at half.

It's crazy because a week ago it looked like Jawad was going to struggle to score a point all season. Now he's a legitimate threat.
Cavs up 62-54 at the half.

Shaq doesn't put up huge numbers because he isn't getting offensive touches imo.
The last 5 games including tonight he is 20/27 from the field and 16/24 from the FT line (not great but upgrade lol).
He is fitting in nicely now and hopefully the Cavs continue to run things around him and Bron.

This is a pretty big Western stretch for the Cavs. Started with Denver, last night against Portland, GS, Utah and the Clips. I don't see another loss in this stretch, except maybe a trap game with the Clips. Seems as if they are hitting their stride right before another match up with the Lakers on the 21st. Which I will be at with Fab4 for her bday. Hopefully LA will be at full strength with Gasol back in there.

After only two games I wouldn't call someone a legitimate threat.

He's a legitimate threat in the sense that he's out there putting up points, not making too many mistakes when he's gotten his chances. I think he's at something like a +25 in these last couple games.devil1197 wrote: After only two games I wouldn't call someone a legitimate threat.

If I ever had a break away layup playing against a team with Bron on it, I'm pulling from 30 feet.

Cavs win. Got close at the end.
Funny stat:
Golden St shot around 36% on 2PT FGs and around 70% on 3PT FGs... Crazy.

Man I hate these late night games. I slept thru most of it but listened to the last 3 minutes on the radio. Glad they pulled it out. I was hoping I didn't wake up just to hear them lose. Boobie also played some minutes this game.

If the Cavs lose this will be my worst birthday ever. I mean turning 25 is bad enough by itself.wildcats20 wrote: This is a pretty big Western stretch for the Cavs. Started with Denver, last night against Portland, GS, Utah and the Clips.

LeBron ballin once again.
Dude is putting up crazy numbers now averaging 29.4/7.2/7.8 with 50.7% from the field, 35.8% from 3, and his FT % is creeping towards 80 at 78.4%.
