  Noah backing up his talk.

  Way too many defensive breakdowns for the Cavs.

  That's what I said...how the hell did he make that up and block that shot? That was an incredible block.

  I mean it's not like Deng went up really strong, but still. Great, great play.

  Reggie miller is so gay!!

  Funny you said that. The exact same thought came to my mind. Hopefully Mike Brown reads this halftime lol.

  I enjoy watching the Bulls, but i'll even admit that Noah is being obnoxious....Kid needs to settle himself down a bit. His play is actually somewhat supporting his talk, but his shit is all over the place - time to reel it in Joakim.
• Jughead

  

  Hell, I could run through these holes.

  Jesus, c'mon Cavs.

  Looks like someone reminded Mo that it was the playoffs....
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Noah hasn't been backing up his shit talk IMO. I'm not overly impressed by what he was able to do in the 1st half. A lot of guys in the league could do that when no one puts a body on them.
• KR1245

  

  Like to see Mo step up and play a little defense on Rose. Hes going wherever he wants.
  Pink n roll defense has been off as well
  I'd like to see somebody send a message..........knock Noah on his ass
  
  I expect to see the Cavs tighten up the defense in the 2nd half
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Mo's got nothin' for Rose defensively. We knew that going into the series.
  
  We need to adjust our pick and roll D and it'll be fine, they're coming at different angles tonight and confusing our rotations. But we'll adjust. That's one thing we do exceptionally well, make defensive adjustments.

  Did Shaq really lose weight? He still looks too big.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Of course he's still big. He'll always be big. Looks like he lost weight to me though, just physically but he's been moving a little better too.

  Very slow indeed!! They need to give Hickson a shot. There killing us getting down the floor compared to Shaq. So many uncontested bunny shots.
• mallymal614

  Can someone stick Noah!
• SQ_Crazies

  

  It hasn't just been Shaq. It's been all of our bigs. They just aren't putting a body on anyone tonight.
• mallymal614

  Maybe Cleveland can play at a faster pace with Shaq on the bench.
• wildcats20

  

  Yeah that's not a foul at all
• Automatik

  

  You gotta be kidding me. How do you make that call.....isn't this a professional league?

  Damn, down 3
• miller45452003

  I still don't understand Brown's rotation. IMO you have to find minutes for Hickson. The guy produced when called upon the last half of the season when Shaq was out. He brings some energy to the floor. We seemed to play better to have an actual big be able to run the floor. It is very boring and stale to watch them in there half court offense.

  I honestly think they're trying to get Shaq back up to game speed while they're still playing the 8 seed--especially an 8 seed that doesn't have dominant bigs.

  Me too. I thought it was a good call. Body contact and he was in the circle.
