Great Game, Stupid Refs.


There's nothing worse than watching an amazing game, with over 20 lead changes plus an overtime come down to a referee's horrible call with 0.7 seconds left in the game. LeBron drives to the hole, and gets smacked across the wrist and held onto, yet the ref calls a jump ball. How does that work? Well, regardless, the game is over, and the Cavaliers lose. Thank you, referees.

LeBron had yet another triple-double, and Z and Drew Gooden continue to play amazingly. I will say this...we should have easily won this game if Sasha Pavlovic just would have made a basket. Sasha had so many open looks towards the end of the game that could have put it away, and missed every one of them. Then went down on defense and made horrible fouls. Partial blame can be put on him, but the biggest problem were the turnovers. Way too many turnovers in this game tonight. You can't expect to beat a good team like the Orlando Magic committing a ton of turnovers. Speaking of Orlando, Dwight Howard is an absolute beast. I haven't seen a big man dominate a game like he does since Shaq was just getting into the league. Howard is a monster, and Rashard Lewis is really going to be a good fit with the Magic. They look like a team that could go fairly far in the playoffs, as long as they get there.

Well, back under .500 at 4-5, so hopefully the Cavaliers can come out and win a game on Friday night against the Jazz. We lost a tough one out in Utah a little over a week ago, so hopefully we can get some home court advantage and take them down this time. See you all Friday night after the game.
