Game #9: Cavs at Jazz Tuesday 01/10/2012 7 pm MST

[Nate505]

The Cleveland Cavilers

(probable starting lineup)

Kyrie Irving

Anthony Parker

Omri Casspi

Antoine Jamison

Anderson Varejao

vs.

Our Utah Jazz

Misc Notes:

Cleveland is a shocking 4-3. Well, it's shocking to me.
They will have probably fell to 4-4 after tonight (Sunday 1/8/12) being on the road in Portland. They will have a day of rest before the Jazz game.
Super duper #1 pick Kyrie Irving is averaging 14 points and 5 assists.
Antoine Jamison, who seems like he's been in the league for an eternity, leads the team with 18 PPG.

That's it. Hope the Jazz can get 4 in a row. I loved the hell out of last night's win, even if it was against a lousy Warriors team and that the Jazz barely held on. You really feel like you can see the pieces of this team starting to fall together, even though I'm sure there will be plenty of bumps on the road along the way.

Love The Road Warrior and its predecessor, Mad Max.

Jamison seems to enjoy balls near his face

I forgot The Caveliers were in the NBA.

I thought they dis-banded after LeBron left.

[Gyp Rosetti]

Sitting currently at 5-3, I see no reason we can't be at about 11-8, maybe 12-7, come the end of the month. But things get very tough after that and I find it highly unlikely that we make the playoffs. If I had to guess, we'll get somewhere around the 11th pick in the draft.

Maybe this wasn't the right thread to post such feelings but I was excited, decided to look up their schedule, and these were my initial thoughts.

I watched them play a couple of times. Jamison played great in those games and his shooting and ball-handling skills made huge impact on the game. One thing about Cavs' being 4-3 is their 3pt %. The Jazz, so far this season, looked like they want the opponent to take mid-range J's rather than 3's, except maybe GSW game, in which they occasionally -and unnecessarily IMO, doubled bigs and GSW got open look behind the arc. Only thing I'm afraid is Cavs' 3pt shooting.

Let's keep it rollin!!! Hopefully Hayward can string together another really good game and lead us to an easy victory. Go Jazz!!

 

[Dr. Jones]

I hope this fanz don't forget the positives that got us here ... when we have a rough patch .. it IS happening.

We should be able to dominate the paint with Millsap/Jefferson/Favors/Kanter vs Jamison/Varejao/Thompson/Samuels. If we bring our normal defensive effort, we should win.
