Austin Carr Line of Night: Cavs - Wiz

This AC Line of Night came after a LeBron James 19-foot jumper found nothing but the bottom with 2:24 left in the 2nd Quarter last night. After it went down, Fred McCleod said that LeBron James' jumpshot has looked good all season, but looked especially pure over the last six weeks of the season. To which point Austin Carr said the following:



"Well, its money time. He knows what time it is. Its time to be on-the-money."


Money time indeed Austin.

How you like that Rick Barry?

AC Line of the Night: Thursday

Austin Carr is not all Hammer Downs, and Deeps during the broadcast. He'll tell you what he thinks from time to time about his Cavaliers, even if its not all rosy. This AC Line of the night is just that.

With the 4th quarter getting underway, FSN had up on the screen the 'points in the paint field goal percentage stat,' illustrating the Cavaliers lack of production in that area against the Wiz. In regards to paint production, AC thinks the Cavs need to step their game up:

"That is the one area that they will have to clean up when playoff time comes. They cannot give up those kinds of points (in the paint). In any sport, you have to be strong up the middle, in order to win on a consistent basis. The Cavaliers did a good job of that before the All Star Break, but they have been kinda lacks with that particular stat, since the All Star Break."

Agreed. While its hard to find a lot wrong with this team, they will need to improve this come playoff time. Hopefully Ben Wallace can help in this regard.

Austin Carr Line of the Night; Cavs Win 57th

Austin Carr was a great shooter. He appreciates the art of shooting. He also holds a great disdain for horrible shooting. This disdain is highlighted in this A.C. Line of the Night brought to you by Shaver Sports.

Setting the Scene:

With 3:oo minutes left in the 2nd Quarter of Sunday's game, Nets Guard Keyon Dooling found Trenton Hassell, open, spotted up in the corner, thinking about getting his Larry Bird-on. Hassell however, chucked up a shot that barely drew iron.

To which end, A.C. said the following:

"Ewwwee, that was an uggllyy shot. MAN. That ball had no chance from the time that it left his hand!"

Pulls no punches, dead on accurate, just like he was as a shooter, that's AC.

*********************************************************************************

The Cavaliers went on to win the game 96-88, and notch their 57th win of the season, which ties a franchise record. That record is sure to be broken a few more times before this regular season comes to a close. LeBron went for 30 - 8 - 11, Anderson had a double-double also, going for 16-11, and Big Z threw in 18.

Austin Carr Line of the Night

This is a great one from Austin Carr, who's all out enthusiasm is unrivaled in this town. This A.C. line of the night came after LeBron hit two free throws, to ice the Orlando victory, with 8.7 seconds left in the 4th quarter of Tuesday night's win. As both teams walked to the sidelines, following the second make, Uncle Austin dropped the following line. Check your DVR if you don't believe, me.

"Cavaliers, playing a team game, L-Train, Mo Williams, Anderson, Delonte, Joe Williams, Z, everybody getting into the act."

Classic. I would ask the question, who is Joe Williams, but it doesn't matter. Joe Smith knows who he is, and I know exactly what AC meant... 'Cavaliers win a big one, and I love it.'

Austin Carr Line of the Night

This line of the night from A.C. came with 3:32 left in the 3rd quarter, after an Al Harrington bucket made the score 64-67.

"Somebody better get a hold of Harrington, he's starting to really feel his Cheerios now, he is starting to attack from the outside and the inside similar to what he did to the Cavaliers last time they played him in New York."

I don't know what 'starting to feel his Cheerios means', but who am I to judge. Uncle Austin's point was that the Cavs had better D-up on Harrington, and his point was well taken, cereal reference or otherwise.
