Today we had a big day. All the players had a good rest after the flight over and today we had a short practice.Most players looked tired, except the new comers, Amare and Stevie Nash who looked ready to go.
I was a bit worried as LeBron wasnt training well. He was trying but nothing was going right for him and he knew it. This actually helped him in the game, he thought that he needed to make up for it and try and go home with the W.
The first quarter was a fast paced up and down game by us Cavs, and some great defense holding Miami to only 17 points whilst scoring 27 for ourselves.
Dwyane Wade was carrying Miami as he scored 10 of his teams 17 in the first, including this tomahawk slam!
The second half was pretty much the same as the first, except the guys kept turning over the ball, but made up for by scoring 31 in the quarter.
Nash, LeBron and Amare were doing very well for their first game together. Nash was setting everyone up and still scoring his own points, while Dwyane and Shaq were doing their best to keep the Heat in the game.
The second half saw the guys keep holding the Heat down and pulling away on the scoreboard. As Wade and Shaq could only do their best but not get anything from their teammates.
Not only did the BIG 3, Lebron, Amare and Nash play fantastic, Keon Clark played well after being recently signed, as well Jeff McInnis.
It was a great win by the guys with a solid all around effort. But tonight it came down to the sufficating Cavs defense.
LeBron: 24 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 9-11 FG.
Nash: 24 points, 8 assists, 4-5 3pt.
Amare: 25 points, 6 rebounds, 12-16 FG.
Shaq: 20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists.
Wade: 21 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals.
Jones: 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2-9 FG.

Sorry, it's just that sac-1 can get really annoying at times.
