Bam..

Sorry guys (and gals) for the lack of updates, but been very busy for the past few days.  But in true LeBlog spirit, one of the main contributers, paulev7, has a review from last night.  Also, we now have a winner of the Le-Blog-a-thon which I will post later.  Here you go and I will provide an update later on all fronts:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last night the Cavs took on the Pacers, with LeBron sporting some tighty-whities (ok, just white tights).  I think these tights have a purpose- they compress the muscles, thereby sending extra blood to LBJ's ailing need.  But man, they look ridiculous. 

On to the game.  Early on, LBJ was playing the passer, as he had 4 early assists.  But he was cold from the field, save for a monster slam off a Sasha steal and bounce pass assists.  The Cavs and the Pacers went back and forth the rest of the half though.  Neither team could pull away and the game was low scoring- playing into the hands of the Pacers.  The Pacers were also cold from the field, but doing a great job on the offensive boards.

In the second half, though, the Cavs started to pull away.  Not only were we making shots, but they were missing and not being as proficient on the offensive boards.  Everyone was chipping in- Sasha, Drew, Z, Damon, and Donyell.  By the end of the third, we had the lead out to 25.  We brought in the bench, and the Pacers trimmed it a bit.  Remembering a few weeks earlier when the Pacers brought back a 22 point lead, Coach Brown brought in the starters to finish the game off before extensive bench minutes. 

Random thoughts-

- Sahsa is playing well at both ends.  Making jumpers, going to the hoops, and playing good perimeter D.

- Damon Jones is not settling for threes anymore, and is getting inside for some shorter shots.  That will be huge- one cannot be a three point guy alone.

- Alan Henderson continues to play well.  He D's up very well and is active on the glass. 

- Donyell must make a point of not shooting 3's outside the flow of the offense.  He does that sometimes, but he must be patient.
