Did you watch Cavs vs. Rockets last night?

Question

What are your thoughts? Do you think that Yao's team wasn't performing well because Yao just came back and didn't have time to adjust?
Do you think Cleveland executed well? Do Cavs have a chance to get to the finals? What will be their major obstacles?

Answer 1

No. Saw highlights on ESPN.

I think the Rockets didn't perform well because they deferred to Yao in the first half offensively and he gave them nothing. Second half was a different story but he still had a high amount of turnovers.

Cavs have a good chance to make the finals. Especially in the East, they'll have the best player on the floor (if Wade doesn't play) every night. And the league better watch out because LeBron's heating up. They're one of the best defensive teams in the league but still come second to Detroit in that category and the Pistons have a better all around team. I think if they can get past Detroit in whatever round and also the Bulls, they'll be in the Finals. No one from the Atlantic (including Kidd and Carter) and Southeast (with Wade a big question mark) will be able to beat them.

Answer 2

I watched the game... I saw every call go the Cavs way... The Rockets got the shaft... when they were coming back and down by 2... Yao gets a rebound and Zilgousgas (spell check needed on that one) takes him down in the paint, Like a D lineman on the Texans... Where's the call. You can't compete with the refs... It was a bad game all around and instead of the two teams deciding who would win, the refs did. You can't even high five "The King" without getting foul called on you. That's a bad deal for the game of basketball.

Answer 3

when yao and t-mac combines to shoot 15/47 from the field,odds are,the rockets will lose.

i really like the cleveland rotation now,hughes is starting at point guard,he can create shots for himself and others. this gives the cavs 2 players who are capable of scoring every time downcourt. plus they are finally,FINALLY,starting to play the rookie shannon brown,who is giving them solid numbers.

if the cavs get good numbers from hughes and ilgauskas plus good play from their bench,they would really go far in the postseason.

Answer 4

Both.

Cleveland played well (as they have most of the year) and the Rockets were adjusting.

I think both teams will go deep in the playoffs, but I don't think either team will make it to The Finals. I'd love to see them both there, though. Both are good teams.

Answer 5

Basketball sucks
