Terry Pluto hopes Mike Brown picks up on the obvious ...
There's no mystery here ... Daniel Gibson is young, healthy and playing well. Larry Hughes is hurt and struggling. So it's time for Cavaliers coach Mike Brown to face the obvious: These are the NBA Finals, and Hughes is not going to help him beat a great team such as the San Antonio Spurs.Brian Windhorst is begging for new topics to discuss, and begging Big Z for something ...
Of all the things that need to happen for the Cavs to win Game 2, and there are a lot, Zydrunas Ilgauskas returning for form has got to be high on the list. If nothing else, Z should be able to rebound, especially against the Spurs, who are not a good rebounding team. Other than LeBron, that's the key guy for the Cavs.Sam Smith wonders if this Cavs team is the worst ever to reach the Finals ...
Other than James on the Cavs, only Ilgauskas has been an All-Star, and some would say he only made it because two centers are required and the East has so few of quality. Other than James, is there one Cavs starter you would want to trade for? Maybe Drew Gooden. Maybe Ilgauskas. Larry Hughes is better when not hurt, though he is annually. For the last two weeks, rookie Daniel "Boobie" Gibson has looked like the team's second best player.Sounds like even Lebron might rather watch the Sopranos Finale ...
"Me and my guys have definitely sat down and (talked) about (the finale). My friends think that either the Feds are going to come and get (Soprano) or he's going to make friends with the Feds and maybe snitch on a lot of people, or he's going to be whacked, which I don't think is going to happen. I hope that he's just able to get away and not worry about nothing."
Lastly, Reds Army urges you not to watch the Finals tonight. As I've mentioned before, NBA needs to seriously reconsider their scheduling. Not only did they foolishly kill all momentum in waiting 5 days for Game 1, they've inexplicably missed a prime opportunity to fly solo on Saturday night (or afternoon). Here's 5 smarter ideas than aligning Game 2 on Sunday night:
1. Making Lindsay Lohan the designated driver.
2. Bringing Mel Gibson to a Bar Mitzvah
3. Making fun of Chuck Liddell's mom
4. Unprotected sex with Paris Hilton
5. Putting Isaiah Thomas in charge of anything
I'll have the game thread up later, but for now what are your predictions for Game 2?
