yeah man, good game. I liked the intensity. On both ends.

did the Cavs lose?

Harrington played because Lenny wanted to rest the regulars some.
We're in the middle of a back-to-back and need fresh legs to run wit the Bulls.

nice win, i really liked the way sweets, nazr and TT played, again TT is making IT look great... Marbs was good as usual, and we played hard all night.. solid win..I don't care if kidd played or not....

Very important win--- you've gotta take them when they're practically given to you. With no Kidd and no Martin, they're not even close to the team that's gone to the finals the last 2 years.

It does make for some curious playoff strategies. Before I used to want a matchup against the Pistons... but after the Wallace trade, I might be changing my mind. While they still have no superstars, Rasheed helps balance them out by adding an established scoring presence inside... and gives them added quickness and depth inside. In other words, you need to do more than just stop the guards.

The Nets look to be a little wounded right now... and this doesn't bode well as they try to close out the season. You wonder if Kidd's knee troubles will right themselves in time for the playoffs. W/O him, they're just another average team. With our new improved frontcourt, we match up much better with them than the team we started the year with. We're taller and faster--- our size and depth is something we should be able to exploit.

The #5 seed would be fantastic... but I'm not holding my breath. TJ Ford's absence is beginning to be felt by the team; Damon Jones, while a great shooter, is not the most proficient starting PG in the league. As his scouting report grows, team are learning how to neutralize his ball distribution. They're very vulnerable right now (in spite of KVH's greatness!) so a winning streak right now would be very prudent.
