Battle of the Cheerleaders







@







I gotta give it up to the Sonics Cheerleaders. This is just a small sample of all the wonderful pics of them out there. Former Sonic Cheerleader Ali Dudek is my personal fav. She's been all over TV, was in FHM, and is now the in-arena host for the Dallas Mavericks. Check her out.


Back to the game...
- LeBron is questionable. Enough said.
- Do we have any chance at beating even the Sonics without LeBron or AV or Sasha?
- Sonics just knocked off the Spurs, so they definately have it in them. Hopefully we dont take them too lightly.



B Mac's Gamethread Record:

Lets Go Cavs!!!

[HMFFL]

I'm going to pay close attention to this game tonight. $

Cavs favored to win by 2.5

Good Luck

Remember before the draft when a lot of so called experts said since Durant had a better jumper, he had the potential to be better than LeBron James... And how he was going to have a similar impact on his team as a rookie that LeBron did as a rookie ??

Um... NO

Um... NO

simmons soured me on durant months before he got drafted. i hope he stays average just so i don't have to hear him boast.

what a clown

[LiquidFire]

Lebron will sit out. i can garentee it. He always sits out against teams that are 'bad''.

I hope he doesnt but i can almost garentee he will

[FlightNo.23]

Their cheerleaders are OK. I personally liked the Portland "one" from last night better

Should be a close one if LeBron sits out.

[B Mac]

LeBron is offically a Game Time Decision. Whoa look at the Sonics injured list for tonight:

Nick Collison - Right Knee (O)
Kevin Durant - Right Thigh (O)
Kurt Thomas Right Knee Bruise (O)
Delonte West - Right Foot Plantar (O)
Robert Swift Right Knee (O)

This one could be ugly.

[TheOUTLAW]

I heard that Wally was out as well.

[Gordon Bombay]

so if lebron sits out, i got

pg earl watson
sg damien wilkins
sf wally world/jeff green
pf chris wilcox
c johan petro

vs

pg larry hughes
sg devin brown
sf ira newble
pf drew gooden
c zydrunas ilgauskas

wow

[kiwibrindle]

I hope we give LBJ a rest and I hope the others tell him this one is on us. Then they need to convert. LBJ earned a day off last night.

[Uncooked]

This is Larry's time to shine.

[jking]

that Seattle injury report is wrong. The only one out tonight is Swift, and Wally too, but everyone else listed is playing.

[LoveThemCavs]

Wow, I feel like an idiot. I'm sure a few of you have seen me post that when the Blue Jackets are on, I don't get the games on FSN. Well a miracle happened as I turned to FSN only to find out the Blue Jackets are on again. I accidentally hit the seek button and I found the alternate channel. It's kind of messed up. Channels 60-69 are blank stations. All the way up on channel 72 they are showing the damn game. I didn't even know I had channels up in the 70's. Time Warner is messed up, my preview stations don't show that station. Basically I've missed about 10-15 games because of this.

Anyways, LeBron's out on the court right now testing the ankle out. Hopefully he plays, but if not it's going to take more from everyone. Without AV, Sasha and LeBron I don't know if we can pull it off. Go Cavs.

[jking]

Bron officially OUT tonight...

bg just got an alternate fsn channel so now i can watch them but i probably missed about ten games because of those damn blue jackets

[B Mac]

If there's one thing a majority of us can agree on around here, its that hockey is a waste of our time. Showing the BJ's over the Cavs??? What a crock. I mean who watches hockey?

[Benedict_Boozer]

Damn it, this is like the 3rd game this year we would have won if LBJ wasn't out. Charlotte, Wiz, now Seattle all winnable games.

Even worse we are basically missing 3 of our 6 best players right now all at once.

[LoveThemCavs]

Well Drew is going to get more looks tonight by default. Lets hope some of the shots start falling for him. It could be big for his confidence. Or just feed Z alot like that. Nice pass over the top on the guy fronting Z.

EDIT: Chris Wilcox on pace to shatter Wilts 100 point game.

[Gordon Bombay]

ok chris wilcox has all ten sonic points

[LoveThemCavs]

Holy crapola, this is terrible. The Sonics are getting WIDE open on every shot.
