just a heads up on phoenix/cleveland........

[gman2]

i think i was short-sighted in my play on cleveland vs detroit on sunday. shoulda waited till mcinnis came back in the lineup because the cavs have been on a tear with him at the point.

* mcinnis is back in the lineup today

* cavs lost both games and looked awful in the process while mcinnis was on the shelf

* absolutely vital game for the cavs as they conclude a 5-gm homestand and have some tough road games coming up. theyve slipped from 6th to 8th in the east while mcinnis was out

id give the cavaliers a very strong look tonight (more so in the 1st half because their 1h numbers with mcinnis in the lineup are eye popping). if the cavs dont get a convincing win today of phoenix in what now amount to almost a must-win, then they dont deserve to play in the post season.

phoenix shooting 72% from the field

playoffs for cavaliers? :nono: :nono:

played Clev small 1st qtr, may try to get it back at the half:shrug:

 

[gman2]

id only consider em if they hold phoenix to < 55 in the first half. that would be an indication that their D is tightening up (relatively speaking of course, but it would mean that phoenix scored < 21 in the 2qtr). right now its porous

cleveland is really playing like playoffs do not matter.12 for 36 from the floor.

 

[gman2]

phoenix STILL shooting at close to a 70% clip with a few minutes left before half.

60-41 at the half.put this with my florida state play .looks bad
