The Cavaliers just can’t seem to solve their road woes. They were defeated 113-111 by the New Jersey Nets, dropping their road record to 3-8 on the season. Vince Carter, who finished with 38 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, outstaged LeBron, who led the Cavs with 37 points and 8 assists. The Wine and Gold fell victim to a cold shooting second and third quarter and nearly mounted a comeback but it wasn’t meant to be.
Until this team figures out how to win on the road, it’s going to be a long season.
LeBron played like the old LeBron… it’s too bad Eric Slow played liek himself as well. We need to start Gibson over SNow even if he is not a true point gaurd. Snow is not a greta defender anymore and he was never good on O. Z is a whole other story that is harder to change… but a point guard with no points and assists is a joke.
I agree - start Gibson over Snow. Snow just flat out blows! Let’s give Gibson a chance. I like his quickness and atheltic ability.
if we are all being honest – this team does NOT look as good as it did last year.
really a few games over .500? totally unacceptable.
sirens should be going off in this front office regarding Z and SNOW….
Gibson looks great and has great energy. I know Z is not very good anymore, but Snow is who is killing me more now. I hate stupid turnovers and his passes are a joke. Not to mention no one takers his shooting serious so they all slack off him. By the way everyone made Wade out to be Superman last year. Funny how when Shaq is out that team is under .500 Of course Wade will get Shaq back, and ‘Melo has the Answer now, and LeBron has……..?
I think this team should seriously consider getting Andre Miller. I think you offer one of our young players & a draft pick you could get him!! We really need a threat at the PG position, plus Miller can score,distribute, & play D!! I don’t think Andre Miller wants to be part of Philly’s rebuliding plan either!! It seems like the same offense last year last night where everyone stands around & waits for Lebron to do something!! Why won’t anyone cut to the basket when Lebrons drive cause New Jersey had 3 guys come over to defend him!! I would like to see what Shannon Brown could do, he’s pretty athletic, put it this way, I don’t think he could do no worse than what we got!!
Getting Passed,
The Cav’s better look around, they are getting passed by the Chicago Bulls. So much for them being first or second in their division. I am sick of starting players and giving minutes to players who are obviously not giving the effort or passed their prime, like Z, or players who can’t play their position like Snow. Not to mention other players don’t get minutes for no apparent reason like Pollard. What is it that Brown sees that we don’t? Can Pollard really be any worse than Z, I highly doubt that. Watch out Danny Ferry because Lebron is not going to be patient that much longer.
they play 3 quarters then collapse nightly. LeBron is looking great again and playing the way he ended last year but the offense just stands around. More Gibson less Snow… Please cut Eric!
