I was thinking the same thing SQ.

Roadies against Boston and Toronto, gotta play better.

Mo needs to wake up and the guards need to step their defense up.

When Mo plays well Cleveland plays good.

Clevelands defense put the clamps on in the second half.. 3 out of 4 quarters we played great defense.. We had a slippage in that 2nd by allowing 40.

With that said, I like what I saw. Mo is going to need a few more games though.. Remember, he missed a month and actually came back earlier than expected. Give him a little more time and he'll be back to getting 15 points a game..

But think of it this way, when Mo does get it going, how the hell are you going to guard this team? They'll be 4 guys starting who can get 20+ on a given night. Ridiculous.

Not outside Delonte's ability to go for 20 if you let him either.

has anyone noticed that the cavs go thru stretches where they quit attacking the basket and turn into a bunch of jump shooters? that really gets under my skin

^^ That is exactly the reason why I didn't believe in this team last year and stood up for the Magic when most of the people were basically laughing at the notion they could compete. The Cavs are a good 3pt shooting team, but they love to do it. It's harder to do against tall teams. So when they don't go in, they will struggle.

Mo needs to get things together.

Defence ususually dictates what comes open, Another reeason we miss ZZ.

Like all teams, 3balls can come in streaks and that can go bad in streaks as well. Last year, the Cavs led the keague in 3ball percentage and conversely were number one defending the 3 ball. It was a statistical anomalie that these trends mysteriously flip fkopped during the Magic Series.
