The Comment Monster
A monster lives in the comments section of Cavs: The Blog, and he likes to feed on comments. We have very little idea about when he will strike. What we do know is that comments with 2 or more links will get filed into the spam folder, as will comments with foul or discriminatory language. The comment monster also seems to enjoy extra-long comments, so if you have a long comment, you may want to press copy before submitting a long comment and break it into multiple pieces if the monster eats it. If you are having particular trouble with the monster, email one of us and we will talk to him for you.
Pick and roll D… malo… muy malo. Outhustled in every facet. Rotations seemed weird. All the calls went against us (mainly because we weren’t being aggressive). I’d like to say I was sad. But nobody wins every game and this is a nice one to show during tape days when everyone is feeling good.
Not to mention it should get us prepared for tonight’s game against the Magic. Let’s see if they play with some passion tonight. And if they do, then I will happily take the loss to the Wiz. Viva la Cavs!
Daniel Gibson’s performance in the first half was one of the most baffling, selfish performances I’ve ever seen. Not only did he not have a single statistic through three quarters (except a turnover and a foul), but he held his followthrough for 2 seconds after his shot bounced off the rim, rather than, I don’t know, going for a rebound, and then lost a foot race to Gilbert Arenas, who has one knee.
I really really hope someone on the coaching staff pays attention to stuff like this, because it’s unacceptable that someone is getting paid 4 million dollars a year to behave like that.
Hey, remember that time Sasha did something positive?
Me neither.
I really really really hate the way we use Mo when LeBron is on the bench. He tries to set up guys like Wally and Sasha, who think they need to dribble the basketball for some reason. Nothing good has ever come of this. We need Mo to score points.
Question for Krolik:
Do you consider it unsportsmanlike to shoot 3s when up 41 points in the 3rd quarter?
Follow-up question:
Do you consider it unsportsmanlike to shoot 3s when up 29 points with a minute remaining in the 3rd quarter?
Scratch that, 4th quarter.
Ryan, with all undue respect because i dont know you, what the f are you talking about?
Oh, i assume you’re talking about the magic game. I looked at the time (7:08) 0f your post and i was like that game hdn’t even started yhet because of the time difference i guess…. but yea i agree with you as lon g as you were ntalking about the magic game otherwise you’re nostradamus or something.
yea f the magic game, i was rreally mad about it but i thought mzybe this would…you know…motivate people to step up against the magic. but i guess that didn’t work. I just hope they can step up to the Spurs………..
I fear for the cavs; they have a horrible record against the top teams in the league, although i always have faith in lebron to step up in the playoffs as he always has…theres a big difference when he plays 45 minutes at full intensity..]\
it just seems that lebron is not putting in the effort. i dunno if hes “saving up for the plyoffs” but w/e it makes me mad. I make an exception for this game because even if lebron put up 50/10/10 we would have lost but i fear for this team if we can’t beat any of the best teams. other than the celtics.. at this point i’m hoping the cavs face the celts over the magic in the conference finals because the magic are tearing them apart.
…p.s. soerry i don’t feel like fixing my spelling i’m……..drunk. ps listen to modest mouse “the loneszome crowded west” its an old album by them and if u don’t like modest mouse hyou’ll still like this cd it’s nothing like their new stuff opther than isaac brock is still crazy…more crazy\
ok i’m done
just for the record, 3rd paragraph, i meant to say “yea f the wizards game” not the magic game…
wow i apologize for everything john krolik….no f that i’m spicin up this website you should apologize to me. for not being spicy enough
Yeah, sorry, I was talking about the Magic game.
Lonesome Crowded West is an awesome CD. The Magic game was not so awesome. No intensity. There’s gotta be some Cavs looking at themselves in the mirror and reconsidering their game. Yikes.
Lebron James/Lamar Odom/Chris Bosh/Mo Williams, that could be a realistic possibility this summer if Bosh forces his way into Cleveland and we pick up Odom.
Come on guys theres hardly and comments on this article!
