Doc said rotation today is what we'll likely see in postseason. Nate and Marquis on the outside looking in at this point.

then what was the point of getting nate? i mean eddie would have had minutes in the playoffs...and now nate watches? as does daniels? i liked the minutes today but gotta think tony as the #2 PG is a disaster waiting to happen

The most positive sign in this game for me? The FIRE was back in KG's eyes.

Simmons has gone from being an average fan to a Personality that sadly believes his own hype and who has become a legend in his own mind.

I'm ok with TA being in the playoff rotation. His defense will be needed, and he's clearly got it going on offensively.

I immediately am regretting the decision to make victory cheese fries.

Nate gives us a much better option if Rondo's in foul trouble, the problem is that he needs to be making shots. If Nate isn't scoring he won't do much for you, and he's been off lately.

Tony's playing much better than both Nate and Marquis right now. I can't blame Doc for playing the hot hand at this point.

Hey Guys,

I was at the game today... am I the only who's not so happy with this game?

The cavs were barely trying for the first three quarters. Mike Brown recognized that and made the first good coaching move of his career -- getting thrown out. That barrage of technicals got the blood of the cavs (read: Lebron) pumping. They (read: Lebron) really woke up after the team-wide dance routine preceding Lebron's temper tantrum (did anyone else see that? lol at the flipping arms and stomping feet). We were up 20 when the Cavs kicked it in gear. After that, we didn't make a  shot for 9 minutes. It was pathetic. Really horrible. Every possession Lebron would score and we would try to run the shot clock down and score with a Pierce/KG ISO. Atrocious offense and defense until the very end when we barely pulled the game out -- mostly thanks to LeQueen's ineptitude at the free throw line. What a little whiner. He never comes up big. Never. Anyway, blowing a 20 point lead and then barely pulling it out with some clutch play in the last 3 1/2 minutes isn't my ideal way of achieving victory. I'm kind of upset at how badly we played in the 4th quarter. Is anyone else?

I haven't checked all 37 pages of the game thread, so forgive me if someone already posted this.

-Nice to get the W (at home, against a foe, no less).
-Now let me rant: the NBA.  where LBJ can play hard for 44 minutes and not foul anyone.*
-Now for a breather: Happy Easter Everyone!
-Now back to rant: let me tell you about how I ski.  I like to ski hard, and I know that, as part of skiing hard, I will fall down.  In fact, I fully anticipate taking a few spills during the day, and if I don't, I think that maybe I didn't ski all that hard.  So what's with the lack of fouls for LBJ, is it just that he doesn't play that hard, doesn't take the risks, so doesn't get the fouls?  Is that what we are to make of it?  I guess LBJ is a tentative defender who doesn't like to take risks and try to get steals, cuz he sure avoids fouls like the plague!

abc guys said on the lebron 3 for the win that he didn't really even care about the game....they made excuses for james missing all his 3's and a ton of FTs....they continued to give him the benefit of the doubt

Wowwww that's ridiculous. If he didn't care why did try like hell to score and get 30 points in the second half, ABC?
