    Delonte is up to 5 TOs already. He's going for the triple-double in points, turnovers and length of fro in inches.

    I wonder if Coach James will listen to Assistant Coach Brown in the 2nd half and get his team to play some defense.

    The is what the Cavs do sometimes when they take things for granted. My guess is they will turn up the pressure in the 2nd half and win going away. Their lack of effort on defense has been pathetic. They have no respect for the Suns at all and it shows.

    if cavs lose this proves the TNT curse, the cavs have a very bad losing record this year when on TNT.

    Cavs are overrated, they are lucky to be in the East. They're like the poor man's version of the Lakers.

    part of the reason is refs don't want to go too far on national TV audience.

    good joke but they have been winning their games on ESPN mostly, so that isn't it.

    I think James' block on Richardson just now is up there for block of the year.

    Richardson getting cocky trying to do a 360 and James makes him look stupid - really stupid.

    it's showed great hustle and lebron's absolute freakness, but it's hard to be the block of the year on an obvious foul that just wasn't called. unless the mid-forearm is part of the ball now.


    and i have seen lebron miss 3 dunks in the last 2 games i've watched. he blew that open court dunk against the celtics, missed a dunk follow earlier tonight, and then had the easiest dunk of his career and blew it. what is up with him.

    Good point but some of the greatest plays of all-time involved fouls and traveling violations that weren't called.

    I saw at least a couple blown dunks tonight. I don't know what's up with that. Probably just a fluke.

    It looks like the Cavs are going to pull this game out but they did everything to give it away. They tried to play Phoenix's game and almost paid for it.

    Here we go again. This is what many said about the Celtics last year even though they finished 25-5 against the West. Not that it matters to you, but the Cavs are 21-4 against the West so far.

    That loss had to be extra discouraging for the Suns. Not just because they are now 6 games back of the 8th place team but also because the Cavs came into their building and beat them at their own game.

    Short of a total collapse by the Mavs or the Nuggets, Shaq will indeed miss his first postseason since his rookie year.

    Thank you. I feel like a broken record mentioning this again and again the past 2 years.

    The Cavs also took the Celtics to the final seconds of game 7 in the playoffs last year. Currently the Cavs have a 2 game edge in the standings, along w/ ranking 1st in the NBA in defense, over the Celts (2nd).

    Yet the Cavs are total frauds and the Celts aren't. Makes total sense. :rolleyes:

    Yeah Cavs might have a good record against the West, but I see how they play and I'm not impressed. It's still all Lebron and then maybe Mo every now and then.

    I still think they are are overrated and if they were in the West they wouldn't make it to the WCF much less the Finals.

    They're a wannabe Lakers team of how they built around LBJ but with lesser parts.
