No Davis for 8 weeks as he's broken his hand in an off-court incident. And Wyc says he'll likely get suspended as well.

Let the era of Shelden Williams start. Glad we didn't sign Powe now as it would have left us short handed upfront.
Maybe they should go to the local Krispy Kreme and resign Sweetney for insurance. Unfortunately I have to DVR the game and watch it late tonight. |

Seriously, how smart does the front office look now for not signing Leon. We would have only had Rasheed and Scal as healthy bigs off the bench. Also, whats
the deal with Hudson? Is he signed or isn't he? Aside from that, I'm very excited for this game tonight!

Apparently Scal is out as well after colliding with a cameraman in the last preseason game. Shelden will definetly see some floor time. And this is why Giddens
needs to see more playing time. You just never know when injuries are going to hit.

I know everyone associated with the team will say that other than being the opener and special for that reason, this is just another game, but how nice it
would be to win one in Cleveland! It would be quite a statement wouldn't it?

Let's see if the refs allow the C's to play.

Got my DVR so now i can re look at every play on the fly!
Opening night Celtics Cavs 10/27/09 first quarter some sloppy passing on this celts team... 28th in the league in turnovers last year w/ 15.8 or something... thats bad lebron double jump stops to make a pass to the hoop (how is that not a travel, oh 2 steps is ok, so 2 jump stops is ok?) Lebron clears out sheed (or other defender) under celts hoop as he hits the layup daniels d on lebron looks good 2nd quarter no baby butr sheldon is seeing some playin time i like that, he's a good body out there 1 min left or so they just showed lebron and he looked miserable as someone was going to the line, and paul right after, and paul had a huge smile... i like the guy happy to be playin Paul with a great hustle on the offensive board to give the c's the final possession lets see if docs "1 play perfectness" kicks in as he has 1 play b4 half time and they got a timeout nice they just called back a lebron layup from a couple plays ago because he put it up after the light went off... of course it looked like he took 3-5 steps but.... alright at half time they make a useless call for a play and paul trys to put up a 2 at the line, and gets fouled/travels/garnett gets a T Wow I thought doc was so good at this shit? Alright they give paul the foul and dont' say he walks but really? |

most... after the start of the game i think it is pretty important for us to win!
Lets make it happen did anyone else narrate lebrons complaint to the ref after the 2nd foul in the 4th? "i'm lebren james... i dont foul... did i mention i'm lebron james?"

its the 3rd quarter and these annoucers want to say Ray is travelling
give me a break... they count 1-2-3-4, and at 2 you can not see his feet... the rest appears as though he's in the air come on! |

They need to go down low ONCE a half....they almost gave it away taking a ton of jumpers.
But nice way to shove it up Lebron ass. If I was his coach, I would have him just drive through players since he will get the call every single time. |

Random thoughts from this game:
- KG really doesn't look comfortable yet, he will in time, but hes definitely got some rust hes gotta shake loose - Sheldon Williams looked absolutely lost on offense at times, but I think he can be very effective if givin more opportunities to play - Paul was awesome in the first half and at the end of the 4th quarter but disappeared for a while in the second half - Our second unit is freakin awesome, Marquis Daniels is going to be an absolute steal - For the amount of vets they have, its crazy how complacent the C's get at times with leads- they stop running the offense and they rush shots - A fast-break layup is not safe as long as LeBron is on the same half of the court |

Mikemartin wrote:I missed the game but listened to parts on the radio and saw the highlights, which unfortunately focus on the new human highlight reel known as LBJ. LeBron's ability to defend on the fast break is like none other - it is incredible actually, and it must take all of one's mental capacity not to hear footsteps in those situations. Good if not historic win to break the losing in Cleveland streak which was up to what - 8 losses in a row? Great start! |

Where the hell is everyone? Hey it was only the season opener vs the Cavs. I had a good excuse to miss the game last night. Damn im so happy we beat Cleveland
at QUICKEN LOANS! Because you know i really hate those guys up north.
Ah, the good ole days on this board. I love Sheed and Marquis on the 2nd units and like Sir Charles says im gonna call out Big Baby for being a knucklehead, just trlble, trble. Just for that I'm revoking his MJV avatar license. |

You can't read too much into one game, especially the first, but I felt like the Cavs starters outplayed our starters by a small margin - in their home
building. But, our bench outplayed theirs by a wide margin - in their home building.
Granted, both teams will evolve over the year, we'll (hopefully) get Davis back, they'll get West back - but I like how this looks thus far. This is only the Cavs' third regular season home loss going back to last season. |
