I'm praying to the basketball Gods: - Please don't let us have too many nonsense turnovers. No offensive fouls, no players slipping and falling and losing the ball, no players (Z, Andy, Big Ben) dropping a pass in the paint. - Please allow us to shoot as close to 50% as possible. Why have you taken away the 3 point shot from us? We used to make them so easily, and so many times in a game, now they have vanished from our arsenal. Give Mo and Delonte the power to be confident again and create open opportunities for themselves. - Please take the ball out of LeBron's hands. He deserves to roam around and get the defense tired. He deserves to be the guy at the finishing end of plays. Please allow Mo and Delonte to handle the ball and distribute to others and create for themselves when needed. - Please take away the stubborness from Mike Brown and give him the ability to make rapid in game adjustments as needed. Allow Mike Brown to go deep into his bench for certain situations. Give Mike Brown the power to bench a starter (Z) if he continues to miss shots and is just getting abused on defense. He won't take it personally, this is the playoffs, and we must win. - Put a lid on the basket Orlando is shooting at. All of their players have been way too hot throughout the entire series, it is time for the momentum to change. - Give our players the spirit to attack the basket and take key players off of the court for Orlando. It mind boggles me when Cleveland is close to or actually in the bonus but for some reason would rather resort to shooting outside shots. Attack, attack, attack!! - Please do not allow Z's son, Gortat, to have a good game. **** - AMEN

It doesnt get much simpler than this...
-We have to be aggressive and attack Howard..we will get the calls...always have this series
-Someone else besides Lebron has to score points
-Someone off the bench not named Joe Smith has to score points and be a difference maker
-We have to defend correctly...put Lebron on Lewis to start and make it tough for him from the get go
-Have to make the right adjustments if adversity arises. Put players in you havent played before. Try something. Anything can work now. Cant imagine things going any worse.
-Mo and Delonte have to make shots and outplay Orlando's backcourt
Simple as that....ONE GOAL! |

we will have a good game if we limit the stupid turnovers. everything else is obvious. i dont know whats more annoying, the missed open shots or the silly turnovers.
im confident that we'll get it done in great fashion tonight. 2 days ago was a rare game for us. do not expect that to happen ever again in the playoffs. we just simply had a very bad game. |

In light of the fact that Stern does not want Cleveland to go down 3-1 and the Magic got more foul calls in Game 3 than any other playoff team this year, I'm assuming this is a crew that is favorable to Cleveland but I have no idea. I did a little research on DeRosa since I know he lives in NE Ohio and it appears he will be favorable in that his games tend to be low scoring with fewer than average fouls called against road teams.
Is this a favorable crew, and if yes, more importantly, why? |
