know as myself many of Cavs fans around the world or truely sicken and upset by that lost lastnight so am I. The reason we lost had nothing to do with rust or couldn't make shots. We lost the game in the third quarter when we came out the game with a lack of energy and focus and somewhere in the back of our minds we thought this team would roll over. In the end that mind set bit us in the ****. There can always be things that could of and should of been done for a better outcome it didn't happen, you move and live another day because after all it is one day,one practice, one shootaround, and one game at a time. You could always add one outcome its not the end nor should one loss ever bee. Here are my adjustments for game to, but before I get to that here are the facts and as we know they may deceive but they never lie.

The good things about this game is this:

1. The first two quarters we scored 30 points and held them to before 30!
2. The team only turned the ball over five time to there 13 that is play off basketball right there good job considering we were off nine days it didn't keep us from protecting our  possesions.
3. They only outscored us five points in fast break that is way better than the regular season has to do with the fact that we were protecting the ball.
4. We got 42 of our own point paints they got 50 to difference minus eight.

Bad thing about this game:

1.To beat this team we can't let them score 30 in each quarter during the second half with the lead we had their is no way you come out and score 19 points and give up 30 that is part of the problem the defense let us down in that reguard. Even saying that you can't give up 29 points in the 4th if we don't do that we will the game plain and simple!!!

2.Most of the paint points went to Dwight we have to do a better job of making it tougher put a damm body on him know where he is at the only way he's going to hurt us is in the paint we have to do a better job of bodying him up and putting pressure on the entry pass make him do something other than catch and dunk. It would really help try push him farther from the basket.

3. The bench needs to step up big time in this series only getting five points off the bench won't cut it even saying that we should of won that games all goes back to those 19 points in the third that hurt us.

Time for adjustments

1. This is what its going to take to get the job done. The postive thing about this loss is we can play with these guys and beat them if better adjustments are made. In order to do that we need more speed on the floor to penetrate and ball movement also being smarter about resting our star and not just sticking to the same patterns from first two series.

2. First we had three of our guys play over 40mins tonight and West almost played the whole game. In order to be successful we can't have Lebron only getting small breaks in the second and the beginning of the 4th that is crunch time we need to try to find a better way get him breaks. I thought he could of gotten alittle bit more rest durning the second quarter.

Starting Five Offensive!!

1.Mo- Guard Alston and Johnson-MO needs to realize he is the key to the puzzle these guys can't stop him he needs to attack attack like a Tony Parker use his speed and wear these older guys down

Delonte-Take Lee off the dribble and down in the paint and make him work wear his **** out punish him

3.Lebron-Take Hedo we know he can't guard you put him in a spin cycle wear him down so when the 4th comes he to tired to do anything. Move more off the ball and roam don't just hold the ball we know you are great.

4.Z- Get down in that paint and use your size,height,skills and cause all kinds of problems around that basketball. You are to big just be shooting outside jumpers be agressive be physical we know you can make outside shots but get in the paint.

5.Andy- Continue to roam and get these easy laups and dunks just go to the hole hard and under control since there is Dwights always looking to block a shot.

6. When you have a guy like Dwight that is blocking and rebounding machine. Go to the paint hard and under control if he wants try block your shot dunk the ball so hard try break his hand off that is the only way you can teach a shot blocker next time he see you coming he won't try that again I promise you.

Defense and Matchups!!

This is where the problems comes in at on the defensive end of the ball forget about all these cross matches everyone should be able to guards and shut down there man heck if you make them work on the defensive end of the ball and wear them down this task will be much easier. The keys make Dwight work for every point and control Hedo and Lewis in the 4th they rather have 3-point shots than two so if Dwight is on the floor make him work for his two-points and protect the three!!

I think its time to see two key folks off our bench because like I said early we can't only have five points from the bench. Lets give Terrance Kinsey and Sasha a chance to show what they are made of why have a deep bench if you're not going to use it.

The main goals besides shutting down Orlando's big 3 is Pietrus off the bench if you put TK on him and Sasha on Lewis and Keep Lebron on Hedo that will allow MO to continue to guard the PG and allow Andy some time on Dwight he will at least make him work and frustrate him. At the end of the day when crunch time in the 4th you know those guys will be on the floor. This is about match-ups and not hurting anyone feelings. Even if its to give them a different look in the second and third quarters then do it if you want to go back to the regular rotations in the 4th. But can't let those two guys sit and rot on the bench without seeing what they can at least give us you never know. When TK has been giving a chance the guy has come through go back and look at that Sacramento game without him we might not win that game he hit some clutch shots in that 4th quarter. Another thing it gives up is SPEED you can never have to much of that then everyone on the floor can get out and run get back on defense. And just maybe it will again allow our star to maybe some some extra rest down the stretch because Orlando can't leave anyone open both of them can at least help penetrate the defense and we know TK can dunk the ball if he gets inside the lane more folks for Orlando to account for. We aren't Boston and Philly since Orlando likes to point out they aren't Detroit and Atlanta we have a deep bench for a reason lets use these guys. Hell if nothing else at least they won't have time to game plan since they probably know these guys won't get any burn aways. MY O MY Want they be shocked by then to late!!
