I see Snow as a real point guard, able to really run an offense. Not sure I can say the same about Hunter.

Center depth next year could be a real problem, but Snow could rest CB, keep the team on the straight and narrow for 15 minutes a game, and put them one step closer to getting to the finals. Worry about next year next year.

Ok, I'll buy that approach.

One of the Cav's beat writers live blogged the game (think one man game chat).

Cavaliers Blog: Cavs vs. Pistons

The end comment is great...

That's five straight losses on national television and all have been pretty undressing in one way or another. It's no wonder the Cavs don't get much respect, they haven't earned very much. This is another game where the Cavs' flaws were displayed. Today they were simply outclassed, from the superstar on down. They have a lot of work to do and a long way to go. We knew this before, we still know it.

It's funny how high our expectations are for the Pistons. When we roll over a team on the road, their local media hangs their heads while we obsess over Carlos Delfino's minutes. Oh, how good we have it!

Finally King James kneels before his subjects.

the rip/webber combination continues to excel, and our offense hasn't felt as bogged down or as prone to droughts.

delfino had a few mistakes but knocked down some key shots, and overall we played relaxed and focused the whole game, with excellent defense. it was a playoff-type win.

i was surprised they treated lebron fairly, instead of giving him wade-like calls. and i'm also glad that varejao looked as bad as he really is, and even got called for the illegal screen he always sets. thankfully only one of his usual flops resulted in an offensive foul against us.

About that illegal screen, they get thrown all the time. They are not illegal at all if the defender does not make an attempt to go thru the screen. Credit Delfino for alertly cutting thru that screen before it was set.

lee, what i mean about varejao is a little different. last year in the playoffs lebron would start the play at the top, and varejao would come to set a screen. that would normally be okay, but as the defender tried to fight through it, varejao would turn his body and pivot his feet in whatever direction the defender went. that is completely illegal and blatant.

i liked that comment in the blog

I sort of feel like he dunks with one-hand too much.

I was

at Bron's comment as well. To me its him trying to cover up the fact that his team is no good.

And as for the hated one, he was awesome yesterday; he made Ilgaulkas and Marshall his *****.
