The season is young and already the Cavs have matched last years home losses.Cleveland (3-3) played a poor game and honestly, perhaps they deserved this lost. To start the game their field goals were just horrific.
Varejao gave the Cavs an early spark, a bunch of offensive rebounds and energy, but for some reason they just couldn't get into it.
Watching the game wasn't so much fun, the pace was extremely slow and the points were very low. The final score was 85-86. That just says poor defense (for the Cavs).
LeBron gave everyone two injury scares. First, he landed on his ankle coming off a platform. Then (like a real team player) he dived into the fans and was out holding his hip for about 6-minutes.
The Cavs have been having success with their bench but last night was atrocious. Gibson played well (the usual) but then the rest of the squad was 1-15 FG!! Are you kidding me, and that's at home?
As always the pick-and-roll killed them and finally someone got some type of sense to form a smaller line-up. It worked, but by then it was too late. Against faster teams (like the Bulls) the Ilguaskas and Shaq combination doesn't work!
With 4-seconds remaining in the 4th quarter LeBron charged to the basket and he was hacked; however, no foul was called (even though Noah had his entire arm in LeBron's face) and the Cavs sunk their 2nd game at home to the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls won 3 out of the last 12 in the Quicken Loans Arena.
Bring on NY!
