Cleveland is decent, but is in no way equivalent to this team. However, as we always do, we are making the crappiest of all scrubs look like 1st year all-stars with our lackluster efforts. For once, these guys need to get worried, mad, scared, pissed, irritated, or whatever the hell they need to get in order to play a full 48 mins. and stop all this pacing for the 2nd half BS. Last year it was only Chauncey taking the 1st half off...now it's almost the whole damn team. Stop playing like frightened children. If you get early fouls, sit the F*** down and let the other 7 freaking invisible entities on the bench do what they get paid to do....relieve your lazy asses when you get in foul trouble.

But for God's sake....PLAY HARD THE WHOLE GAME.
