		<description>As for the CAVS splintered bench, this year is too late, but didn't the Wiz have an interest in Marshall last year and Thomas of the Knicks seems to like gunning guards who don't play defense with big contracts. Maybe Jones could be a nice fit in New York ? Or, Luke Jackson to Seattle to team up with his college buddie for Wilkins or for whatever you can get.

		<description>Well, are you ready? You need to be. LBJ will not be here very much longer, not at all. UNLESS we, or Ferry, pulls a miracle out of his rear and I doubt that will happen.



I would like to thank all of the fans that boo'd LBJ and the Cavs. Way to show your your apprieciation, thanks. You showed him how happy we are to have him. It is because of you Gloria started packing up her supply of Colt 45 into the back of her Escalade. 



But anyway. What the hell is happening on the court at the "Q". Is Larry Hugh's that big of a part to this team? Is Brown meant to be a head coach? Is Z a good fit for this team? What is the problem?



It seems like the energy level of the Cavs has dissipated, or "gone away" for those who can't handle a word with more than 1 or 2 syllables. Yes, we did drop 2 to the Pistons, that is cool with me. But there is no reason, none at all, why we should have lost too anyone else.



Yes, I am glad AI did not get the invite it just left more room for people coach K wants, like JJ Redick.



Go Cavs.</description>

		<description>Sorry I got Reggie Evans' team wrong. I really don't have time for all this NBA crap. I'm just trying to meet hot chicks.

That was a real impressive performance against the Sonics. The AP reported that Artest shut down the Chosen One. Should Iverson be on Team USA?

		<description>I personally would have opted for a Flip Wilson reference as opposed to Lamond Murray or Chuck Murray, but I'm pretty sure 90-95% of this blog's readership has no idea who Flip Wilson was.</description>

		<description>A steal uh, well check out this independent blog that actually backs up comments with relevant stats;

&lt;a href="http://mistakesports.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://mistakesports.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;

Main point of the blog is that Flip is taking quality looks away from the team, including Lebron! His new nickname should be Chuck Murray.</description>

		<description>It's obvious the Cavs can't match a team like the Pistons in toughness or skill. Signing Marshall and Jones was foolish, not because they can't be valuable role players but because the Cavs aren't at the point of needing valuable role players--they first have to develop a style of play that makes sense for LeBron. That would be a running, open court style. His combination of size, vision, athleticism and skill is unprecedented.



Signing Illgauskus was also foolish. He tries hard and can be valuable, but not as valuable as his cap figure suggests he should be. You can count on 17 pts. and 8 rebs., but that's it. He's paid like a superstar. Hughes was a good signing but Ferry felt pressure to produce right away and otherwise blew it during free agency.



Right now the Cavs are betwixt and between, supposedly a defensive team but without good defenders. They should have held onto their money and re-signed Diop and another athletic big man who runs, rebounds and plays defense. With cap space, or through a sign-and-trade with Illgauskus, they might have landed another big man or another scorer--the Wilcox guy with Seattle would have fit nicely and, believe it or not, Steve Francis might have played well alongside Hughes and LeBron. Once Hughes was out and until Flip Murray arrived, the Cav's were getting about 10 pts. a game combined from the team's top three guards. 



The Cavs have no chance at winning a championship as they stand now because Ferry tried to find "pieces" instead of players. Ultimately, LeBron's place in league history will hinge on championships, something he surely knows. It's a shame he'll have to leave.</description>

		<description>Chones, given the fact Reggie Evans' contract is now owned by Denver, it will be a major coup if Ferry gets Evans from Seattle at the end of this season.  Thus, this blog's readership has to be perplexed by your statement.  Regardless, given the man's track record to date, it is very likely Ferry is under the impression Evans got traded to the New Orleans Jazz.  Disregard Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom.  Disregard LeBron James and Larry Hughes.  The Reggie Evans-Pete Maravich dynamic duo is the new force to be reckoned with.</description>

		<description>For all those freaking out because the Cavs didn't get all gangster on the Pistons consider this: Detroit is an awesome team, so it doesn't matter if the Cavs become the Broad Street Bullies, reincarnated, they ain't going to beat them. Ben Wallace was very impressive in the two games against the Cavs. The guy should get MVP consideration. All those blocks, rebounds and steals. It's rare to see a guy dominate an NBA game with that skill set. The Pistons also have Sh'weed, Rip, Prince, Billups, the list goes on. We have Z, Flip Murray (wasn't Lamond available), and a bunch of rubbish.

The Cavs do need to get tougher. They should go after Reggie Evans from Seattle. Marshall and Jones were bad signs. Marshall's legs are going south in front of our very eyes. He looked about as fast as Austin Carr is these days while trying to run down an errant pass in Sunday's loss. And what about when he bumbled the ball on a wide open lay up in the same game?

 Jones is a freaking head case. Did they sit down with him before they signed him or do any reference checks? Does Ferry have the eye for talent we need? I'd hate to think we get burned twice by the same guy. Bron's not going to stay around forever the franchise is not a legitimate contender (insert chill down your spine here).

Tucker. Get a job, or set some parental controls to keep yourself off the site.
