The Cleveland Cavaliers lost Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal to the New Jersey Nets tonight at Quicken Loans Arena. The Cavs still maintain a 3-2 series lead. Here are my thoughts on tonight's game:
- The lack of intensity was unacceptable tonight point blank. Where was the fire to close the Nets out. I think Mike Brown is a good young coach who continues to improve as a head coach. But, clearly the Cavs were not ready to play and he should take the blame for not having his team ready to play.
- With Z the only starter really playing good last night where was the part of the game plan to get him the ball.
- Now I'm Lebron's biggest fan but he definitely did not have a good game last night. But with his pregnant girlfriend falling ill and leaving the arena in the third quarter it is definitely understandable of why he didn't seem as in to the game as usual. I think its almost a sure thing you will get a great performance from Lebron on Friday night.
- I must give credit to Eric Snow for one of two players playing hard tonight.(Z being the other one) He really seemed to be the only one who wanted it as much as the fans did tonight.
- Attention Mike Brown is it possible to get Lebron the ball closer to the basket than the 30 feet away from the basket he has been getting the ball.
- I feel very confident going into Game 6. A stinker like Game 5 is usually one that is easy to get out of a team's mind. I have this feeling as long as the game is close on Friday we will prevail since Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson will play small like they usually have in close games in this series.
- Another reason I feel confident is that this team will not shoot 30 percent from the field again and the Nets wont shoot 55 percent for two more games.
The Cavs will play Game 6 in East Rutherford, NJ on Friday night at 7.
