    What makes this game good is the Cavs have a chance to win it.

    Good play by Cavs Marshall missed a wide open shot. You live with that any day.

    Big Z with the choke job short-arm jumper with 20 seconds left and he knew it. He barely got iron.

    You live and die with Marshall's shot. LeBron probably should have finished.

    We do you people want Lebron to chuck it up when he has been getting tripled teamed all night by that zone?

    The pass the Marshall was the right call, he was wide open for a high percentage shot. Make or miss you live with the result. Lebron had no reason to take an off-balanced double teamed shot. I know people want him to become the superstar he is destined but you have play within the context of a team game which got them where they are. Anyway the coach drew it up that way. He got 2 guys wide open shots both couldn't make it. With 20 seconds to go a 3 pointer was the right call and steal a victory. They knew Lebron was getting doubled no matter what so someone else had to shoot the 3 he just happened to miss it.

    Compared to boring Gundy ball that we played against the Jazz, sure that is up tempo.

    In a regular season game, I dont care about that play. But a playoff game? WTH! 2 point behind, LBJ need to attack and get fouled or find a open 2 point shoot. 3 pointer is a low % shoot and the Cavs was 1/9 before the last shoot. Terrible play call by Mike Brown.

    Well I expected this series to be close, and game 1 did that. Unfortunately it wasn't close enough for me though :mad:. Oh well, I think Lebron actually had a decent opportunity at the end but I can live w/ a wide open Marshall 3. My only problem is that we have Marshall there basically for 3's and all season he's been pretty average. Thus I never feel confident when he takes one, despite last game.

    And Lebron w/ 10 points!!! I'd like to see what adjustments Brown makes next game.

    it's not boring when they make their shots. it's that simple.

    i don't care about boring. the rest of the nation yawned when the rockets and knicks squared off in 94. what do i remember about it? rings, trophies and parades. that was exciting.

    Bump for the 3 other people who might be watching this game. I'm glad the Cavs let Lebron be aggressive early. I'm not a fan of 'let's get the rest of the team rolling first' for several reasons (of which I don't feel like elaborating on now). Gibson knocked down 2 3's, which bodes well for the rest of the game.

    Some may have expected the first game to be a fluke or a one off thing, being so close. But so far it looks like the Cavs are for real. It's not going to be a lopsided series after all, like many expected (I was not one of them ;)).

    ****ty coaches and their superstar offense. No movement star drives and kicks out and its all jumpers. **** you miss 4 in a row get something to go to the hole.

    I could coach the Cavs offense as good as Mike Brown does.

    The only solace I can take is this parallels the Jazz/Rox series so far.
