The Cavaliers have a major problem or seven or eighty

by The Cavalier on March 15, 2006 · 8 comments

With Dallas outscoring the Cavs like 800-4 in the second half last night, that’s two games in a row Cleveland has taken big leads into the half, only to come out in the third and let their opponent back in, eventually losing.

What the hell does Head Coach Mike Brown say to them at halftime? Make it more competitive? Shoot more outside shots? Stop running the offense? It’s insane. Last night, the third quarter was like the walking dead. What’s Mike Brown saying to them???

We try not to get actively jealous of other teams, but we found ourselves watching Avery Johnson hopping around screaming like a madman in the third, then looking over to Mr. Brown, who was standing there with his hands in his pockets, helplessly watching his team score 8 points in twelve minutes.

3 MattB March 15, 2006 at 10:26 am: But he’s a great spitter
4 roger March 15, 2006 at 12:17 pm: WTF? Just suck the entire game if you’re going to lose anyway. No need to expend all the energy to get that big lead.

I think the fact that the bench has scored like 3 points in the past 8 games hurts – bad. Then LeBron has to play more, then he gets tired and starts leaving a bunch of jumpers on the front rim, then maybe Damon Jones misses a few 3s and Drew Gooden wanders off the court to buy a hot dog.

6 roger March 15, 2006 at 1:00 pm: I think Brown doesn’t like him as a player and won’t play him unless he has to (Murray/Jones/Newble simultaneously hurt). He needs to get minutes though. The other SG aren’t doing the job.
7 Don March 15, 2006 at 1:30 pm: I watched them play Miami Sunday-I liked their “don’t pass the ball to Z even though he completely torched the heat all through the first half and we’re up by 15 or whatever” strategy. although maybe with ‘Zo pointing up to his main man God every 30 seconds they were not destined to win.
