Kings ball.
Artest one on one, jumper doesn't go; Cavs ball.
Cavs playing much better team ball at the moment...Z able to spin inside and get two more off the glass.
65-53 Cavs
Bibby turns the corner, cuts inside and is really crunched hard by Newble and Pavlovic. Mike falls to the floor and Newble falls on him. Bibby to the line.
Makes first; and second.

Kings in the zone but cannot stop big Z for two more.
67-55 Cavs
One and done for the Kings; Cavs rebound.
Cavs from the side for long two.
69-55 Cavs
Absolutely NO team play by the Kings. Artest going one-on-one again, almost loses the ball but is fouled and goes to the line.
Can't fault his hustle and heart, but damn we need to see TEAM play.
Artest makes first; misses second. Z with the rebound.
69-56 Cavs

This is an all-too-typical 3rd quarter melt-down. Blech.
Cavs miss; Kings board but they turn it over and Cavs convert for two more.
73-56 Cavs

Time out.

This is without Lebron James. I cannot even begin to imagine the carnage if James was playing...
Salmons and SAR in for Martin and Miller.
Kings ball. Bibby drives inside, ball knocked out of his hands and oob. Still Kings ball.
6;13 left
Oh, crap again.
Inbound pass goes to Bibby, who turns and bounce passes to SAR, who misses it and lets it roll 3/4 of the way down the floor. Pavlovic gets it and SAR fouls him.
Pav makes first; and second.
75-56 Cavs
Our front court is SAR and KT. That should say everything you need to know (and probably more than you feared).
Salmons for two.
75-58 Cavs
Salmons and SAR in for Martin and Miller.

82-64 Cavs
Artest crosses the mid-court line and jacks up a long shot that isn't going anywhere good. Cavs rebound.

Pavlovic to the line for two.
Makes first; Martin back in but no idea for whom because Grant is reading a Lasik commercial. Blech.
Makes second.
84-64 Cavs
Whooo! A 20-point deficit. Imagine the fun Musselman is going to have as the clock winds down in the fourth quarter.
Kings miss; Cavs ball.
Cavs miss; SAR board.
Salmons clears a path, dumps to SAR, who finds the bucket.
84-66 Cavs
BUT that nice play was quickly negated by NO transition defense on the other end and an absolutely embarrassingly easy two by Pav.
86-66 Cavs

End of the third quarter.
If there were any justice in the NBA, we'd be able to just throw in the towel and head for the airport...
Artest may be hogging the ball but he's the ONLY player out there right now who seems to be the least bit interested in the game. Martin has been invisible; KT and SAR are apparently communing with the Mother Ship; Bibby is probably gone for the rest of the game on the bench (and I think that's for the best).
Oh, goodie. Z is back in. We are so doom-ed.
Kings start the 4th with Salmons, Martin, SAR, Corliss and Garcia on the court.
Oh, look. Salmons passes to Corliss' back. Turnover. They're showing the score as 88-69 Cavs but that cannot be right. I think it's
91-66 Cavs
SAR offensive foul. 5PF.

I apologize to all for my sudden nasty snide comments. I love the Kings but I don't know who those guys are out there. Horrible, horrible second half and I think the best thing I can do is just quit the PBP at this point...
Very disappointing lack of effort in the second half by the Kings.
And, as I say that, the Kings move the ball, find Martin open and he gets two.
94-73 Cavs
Pav turnover.
Time out and commercial...

Kings ball.
Martin drives inside, getting past Hughes, but the shot doesn't fall. Cavs board.
Z for two more.
96-73 Cavs
Salmons running the point. Works inside, kicks out to Cisco.
Garcia for three.
96-76 Cavs
7;48 left and I suspect it's going to be a LONG 7+ minutes.
Cavs for two more.

Kings ball. Non-shooting foul on the Cavs; still Kings ball. Salmons still running the point.
Gives to Martin, who creates an impossible shot and makes it off the glass inside.
98-78 Cavs
Varajao miss; Salmons board.
He tries to go end-to-end, but ball knocked out of his hands. Cisco was open but that would have entailed team play. Still Kings ball. Somebody got two.
98-80 Cavs
Pav at the other end for quick two in response.
100-80 Cavs
Hey, look! Pavlovic with a new career high. Newble was the early leader for TDM but I think Pavlovic has to be the winner.

And now, defying anything remotely resembling logic, Jerry is saying this is a game of runs and the Kings could go on another long run and get back into this game. I think I hear the theme from Twilight Zone playing in the background.
SAR at the line. Marshall in for Varajao.
6;02 left
SAR makes first; misses second. Cavs rebound.
The game clock may actually have started ADDING minutes to the remaining time.
Salmons pass forward to Corliss who gets two.
102-84 Cavs
Artest is on the bench, standing and cheering for the team and showing some interest. The rest of the bench could be cardboard cutouts...
Cavs for two. Kings ball. Steal. Cavs ball.

Hrm. Wait. They correct it and PRICE is at the line. That's pretty bad when the Kings don't even remember which guy got hammered to the floor.
Price makes first; and second.
104-86 Cavs
Garcia showing pressure full-court. Oh, look. Another three by the Cavs. Damon Jones did the honors. Little creep. (oops, sorry.)
Corliss to the line.
107-86 Cavs
Makes first; Gooden to the bench. Another D. Jones into the game I think...

Somebody knock Damon Jones on his arse, please.
Price with the ball. Goes inside, kicks it to Williams, whose lay-up doesn't go but he's fouled and heading to the line on foul by Damon Jones.
Justin misses his first; Wesley in for the Cavs. Chatting with Corliss... Justin makes his second shot.
109-90 Cavs
Whoooo! We're within 19. Time to start planning the strategic use of the time outs.
Cavs miss; Justin board.
