Here's a few thoughts as I look back on that game.
- The Cavs came out fired up, to say the least. Early 14 point lead, they were cruising. Then, just like the playoffs last year, they slowed down. The other team, in this case Boston, started hitting open 3's and the Cavs fell behind. Is it our defensive scheme? Are they making adjustments and the Cavs aren't?
- I will have to check the box score, but I felt like Z played more minutes than Shaq.
- I've already seen enough of Z and Shaq being on the floor together.
- Z really seems to be even slower than he was in the playoffs last year. Not a good sign considering this was the first game of the year.
- I hate Rasheed Wallace. I hated him 100% last year and hate him 200% this year since he's wearing a Celtics jersey.
- Ray Allen still has a sweet stroke. They don't call him Jesus Shuttlesworth for nothing.
- Boobie Gibson's play, or lack there of, reminds me how vital Delonte West is to our bench.
- Part of me wishes that LeBron would've taken D-West under his wing this summer instead of Hickson.
- Speaking of Hickson, the guy seems to always be flailing in the air, grabbing at air and coming down with air. GRAB THE BALL, JJ.
- Jamario Moon has hops.
- If you're going for an 'easy lay up' and LeBron is within 103 feet behind you, lay down and play dead. Hell, stop - drop - and roll if you have to. The man is going to make a poster out of you. You will end up on Sportscenter. Good morning, Rondo.
- Granted he's coming off of an injury last season, but Kevin Garnett can't jump. I'm sure he'll get his legs under him, but he looked like a shell of his former self last night. His team did come out on top, however.
- Marquis Daniels looks like he's straight out of Grand Theft Auto. He and Delonte can ride bikes together.
- When Shaq threw Garnett down yesterday, you could tell it hurt. Garnett got up and pounded his chest if as to prove he's a warrior. He got up very slowly. Like an old man that fell on the Bocce court. It hurt. I wish Shaq would've done it more.
- The Cavs should really sign Antonio Daniels. Cut Coby Karl and get Daniels in. He can surely run that offense better than Boobie, and he surely isn't as soft.
- Anthony Parker can play. I like what he brings to the floor and I think he's going to be a great signing by the Cavs.
- Charles Barkley is a joke. Complete joke. Untied shoes? White shoes with a black suit? Plus, you can't understand half the stuff he's saying. He wants to be a GM one day? JOKE.
- LeBron can hit shots from anywhere. Literally, anywhere.
- Game 1 of the season felt like a Playoff Game. That only means one thing; we are in for a long, fun season!

Good stuff! Almost as entertaining as your Browns game summaries - which are classics always! And now the Cavs are 0-2, and I'm thinking there's nothing to worry about. Other than the fact that we were outscored by 25 points while Shaq was on the floor. Marginal cause for concern there (at this point).
