what are we gonna do? how are we gonna defend labron for 7 games?

paul pierce is our only solid defender at the 3. if he has to take on  lbj singlehandedly, he will be toast for the next series.

little faith in tony. especially coming of an injury, when his frenetic style is down right frantic.

bill walker may be able to help but he will not be any use if he doesn't get minutes now.

can mikki guard JBJ ::)?

LBJ can't singlehandedly beat the C's.
The key is to make sure the rest of the
the Cavalier team make bad decisions.
If our defense works, we can beat any
and all teams. I truly believe that.

Maybe the C's beat Cleveland in 5 games instead of 7.

How many in the league are capable of slowing down Lebron and the Zebra Brigade (I fully expect the refs on his side in a series)?

I wish the team had thrown a ton of money, and maybe Giddens or Pruitt, at Memphis for QRoss.  He'd be a good fit for this team.

  Is Ross really an improvement over Tony Allen? Is he really going to do a better job on James?

We have no idea if Tony will be ready or not.  QRoss has better height, and is a more consistent defender.  On offense, he's smarter, but doesn't have the talent that Tony has.

Tony is fairly better than Ross when he's playing well. But he's also worse by a good margin when he's not playing well. Ross' production is more dependable, he doesn't oscillate as much as Tony Allen.

does ross play with in himself? can he finish at the rim w/o dunking? can he hit a corner 3?
can he dribble with out loosing the ball?

i always rooted for tony but i'm done. its not really all his fault. injuries kept on killing any momentum he could gather. but its the mental thing, he seems insecure and it looks like he feels the pressure to "breakout". because of this he can't let the game come to him, always forcing things, frantically driving into traffic with blinders on. it's mental tunnel vision but it plays itself out on the court.

We have no idea if Tony will be ready or not.  QRoss has better height, and is a more consistent defender.  On offense, he's smarter, but doesn't have the talent that Tony has.

Eh, I think this might be a case of a guy we see all the time (and got sick of) versus a guy who we only see a few times a year. 

While Ross is taller, I am not possitive if he is a more consistent defender, or if he gives more overall. 

Personally, I am still holding out hope that Scal is back for the playoffs.  After hearing him on WEEI today, I feel alot more confident that he might actually return (before that, I thought he was definitely out for the year).

Is he still not due back till the start of April?
