Cavs game

[DJessen33@aol.com]

Solid game by the Celts tonight. The team seemed to get stronger as the game 
went on and the C's may be gaining confidence and be starting to put things 
together. The key to this game, to me, was the fact that Walker made his 
first two shots early, 2 threes. He then concentrated on passing and talk 
about passing! Three nice leads to Vitaly and was able to use his power to 
make them 3 point plays. The rest of the team took his lead also starting 
passing and all of a sudden, the game became easy! Walker was the man and the 
key tonight. Everybody played well. Dana will get alot of kudos because he 
got alot of assists passing to Mercer who couldn't miss. That was the case 
against the Bulls. But he did have some nice plays of his own tonight and 
made did some nice shooting himself.  Dana always plays better against 
smaller opponents (Knight). I didn't understand why the Cavs didn't try to 
post up Dana more. They didn't go to Sura until the 4th quarter. Sura drilled 
both Anderson and Dana in their last meeting. Having Walker bring up the ball 
after made baskets made it alot easier on Dana...Vitally dismissed DeClerke 
early and Andrew wasn't much of a factor after that. So much for the 
Vitally/AD comparisons...Walker's overall play, especially leading the team 
with passing, was the bright spot. I just wish he could concentrate on this 
every night. However, you can't ignore Mercer's deadeye shooting and 
Vitally's early offense as factors also....
