Official 2009-10 Cleveland Cavaliers thread

Plus Delonte was out on the floor when that happened to just let you know, so that would be another starter that was out there.

Does Lebron's injury look serious?

Didn't look serious, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play Friday against Indiana.

Haha i watch every single cavs game thanks though. You're right hickson didnt play good but what do u expect agains Jamison??????? And who did u want to play in his spot??? Lets see Andy's out so that wold leave hickson. he shot 2/4 and didnt force anything so i'm not mad at all at what he did tonite.

Its not Mike Browns fault that lebron threw down that dunk, thats on Lebron. Thats crazy to blame a coach for Lebron throwing down a dumb dunk.

What kind of offense did u want them to have? They ran a permiter offense because thats all they had tonite without shaq and andy. Z had his shot back and has no business down low anymore since he cant hang on to the ball. The Refs were bad and they didnt rotate on defense the whole nite.

Your fine with Hickson's play? Well, that really makes me doubt that you watch every Cavs game, since he played the worst defense I've seen him play all year so far, along with terrible block outs on rebounds and bad shot selection on the ones he did take.

You fail to grasp the concept of my point on how it's Mike Brown's fault, so I'm done talking about that....I shouldn't have to repeat myself five times for someone to understand what I'm trying to say.

What kind of offense did I wanna see? Hmm....how about one that involves:
A.) Moving without the ball
B.) Moving PERIOD.
C.) Running a 'play' with more than three seconds on the shot clock.
D.) One that doesn't consist of LeBron jacking up 35 foot 3-balls when the games still within reach.

Mike Brown has no balls to actually call LeBron out when he does something stupid like that. When Hickson does something stupid, Brown pulls him out instantly. But since LeBron's the superstar, MB is afraid of sitting him down when he does dumb stuff.

And that is the sign of a WEAK COACH. Phil Jackson wouldn't put up with that junk if Kobe did it.

Once again, back to my point that MB is a bad coach.

The Cavs just can't beat the Wizards in Washington. They didn't do it last year, and they probably won't do it this year.

And speaking of Hickson...am I the only one that thinks if given the minutes Hickson has gotten lately, that Jackson would do 3 times better? He can actually defend and box out. All Hickson does on offense is stand next to the basket, have Lebron or Mo pass it to him, and he dunks it or lays it up. Darnell can do that.

Hickson is in his 2nd yr and having to play against Jamison. What do u expect???? He barely played last year and is now thrown in a starting role. But i guess you have the right to rip him when he plays bad D against one of the top nba players in Jamison.

Don't treat me like a child and have fun blaming a coach for Lebron choosing to showboat. I've seen kobe throw down 360 dunks in games and not get put on the bench. And to you're point about Lebron jacking up his shots what did u want tonite? Nobody on the team was shooting good and not to mention when he went inside and got fouled it wasnt called. Why keep going inside to get fouled when its not called?

I'm ripping Hickson? For tonight, yes, because he played terrible. He didn't do ANYTHING right all game. I've been one of Hickson's biggest fans since the Cavs drafted him. Go back and find the thread from two years ago when we drafted him.

You make a paragraph long comment up there about me treating you like a child, and STILL don't grasp what I'm saying. I'm just telling you that you need to get the point I'm trying to make, but continue to fail at it. That's not calling you a child, that's simply making a point to you that I'm done repeating myself.

Kobe being benched for a dunk? I never said anything like that, so I have no clue what your talking about.

Regardless of who was/wasn't making shots, you don't jack up 35 foot 3-balls down 3 in the 3rd quarter.

OK if you're a big fan of him why would u rip him when he had to be thrown up against a top player in the nba. You cant expect him to be perfect every nite. hes in his 2nd year and in a new starting role. You have to give him time, no reason at all to get all over him after one game.

But since LeBron's the superstar, MB is afraid of sitting him down when he does dumb stuff.And that is the sign of a WEAK COACH. Phil Jackson wouldn't put up with that junk if Kobe did it.

I could have swore we were talking about lebron being dumb with the dunk and then you said that so thats why i said the kobe thing and u said u have no idea what im talking about.

I'm ripping him because he did nothing right tonight. Regardless of how big of a fan I am of someone, I'm not going to be happy when they play terrible....

I was talking about LeBron jacking up 35-foot 3-balls, not the dunk. If Kobe was out there jacking up terrible shot after shot, Phil Jackson would bench him. But MB is afraid to even yell at LeBron when he does something stupid, let alone bench him.

Cavs beat Detroit by 10 tonight.....pretty shocking, since the refs gave the Pistons every call imaginable from halfway through the 3rd quarter until the end of the game.

[selby56]

Lebron tried his best to give the Pistons the game in that 4th quarter...but he came up short.
