It's a nationally televised game so LPBB doesn't broadcast it.
This time they aren’t doing the audio broadcast either. Jerks.

Can you get ESPN360?
It’s free if your ISP supports it.

Rose and Barry's analysis was hilariously bad
and now Hubie says LMA has good rebounding and shooting % numbers. Does Hubie think LMA is a guard?

Oden on the left side against Bynum
UP AND UNDER JAMS WITH THE RIGHT HAND
WOOOO!!!!!!!
I know!!! if webby does this every time I talk smack about him, consider me a lifelong Martell Hater!!!

Head Czar of Amerika <--- Mortimer said so so there!!!
Nice Marty! We need to at least stay close the whole game.. Maybe some more pick n' roll with LMA & even Joel...
Blake on the other hand is missing WIDE-OPEN SHOTS!
If he keeps this up
maybe LeBron will ask for Web’sters autograph.

Alright! Players stepping up. Gotta like that.
Maybe the injuries will bring the team together.
He's not the interim coach right now. That's Dean Demopoulos.
I would say Monty Williams has the biggest future head coach potential.
I thought Pronty was coaching tonight?
Why did he have the pregame interview?
gotta pull blake
if he doesn’t make shots, he is not worth anything … leaving Williams open or getting loose

Watching Blake get into the paint and not be able to do a damn thing once he gets there is kinda annoying...
RUDY > MJ
#52
can you blame him?
he is mediocre in everything. passing, shooting, athleticism. only when his 3 pointer is falling is when he is useful
So now that Mo has figured out he can get by Steve
on one leg, with the flu, eyes closed, do we bring in miller or bayless?
whats with people flipping out about us being down by like 3 or so?
we are playings Cleveland… and playing good
Webster making his 3s
the only shot he missed was that ridiculous fade away off a screen— which appeared to be a designed play (hey, let’s run a poor mid range jump shooter off screens for a fadeaway 20 footer)

It's becoming a sort of Groundhog's Day

What’s up with that? Was he trying to see how he looked in blue and orange? The Cavs always seem to wear uniforms that have nothing to do with their team colors.

Martell has his quota of good quarters for the next couple weeks and we're still down 3.

CLE isnt that good

Just incredible.
What does the coaching staff see that no one else does. Blake is a very unpopular player.
zone from Demo was smart
keep giving them different looks on offense and defense … the usual predictable formula will not work tonight
Blake and Miller is bad enough...
Through Bayless in there with them and I really want to puke…

Bayless and Miller each create an easy basket in the first minute
but Blake starts.
at least Roy is comfortable.

wow, this from espn female sideline reporter (paraphrase):
“Dean, you’ve told us that one of your issues here is a lack of size. How are you planning to compensate for that tonight?”

Rudiculous is right. Even over full seasons, its not all that reliable (lots of noise).
So, I think you have to take this with a heaping handfull of salt. I do think there’s been lots of games this year where Roy has really hurt us with his lazy defense and much less effective (compared with last year) offense.

Yes, I agree. So do the Oregonian guys who are at the game.
Something is a bit off. Hope it’s not the legs.
