The Pacers will be missing Mike Dunleavy for this game because of a knee tendinitis. The Cavs have won 7 in a row against Indiana and 10 of the last 11 meetings.

I think Ford was a player who used to always score big on us.. Doubt he can do that anymore. I think all we need to do is defend Granger and we're good to go. Expect nothing more than a victory at home.

The Cavs came out flat for the first time this season. The Pacers went a full 4-5 minutes without missing a shot.

I am appalled by how we are being manhandled on the boards

The Cavs start he 2nd quarter with a 13-0 run but when the Cavs bring LeBron back in the Pacers pull ahead again. This is a bizarro world today.

The Cavs played pathetically bad in the first half. They really are lucky to be within 5. They have more turnovers than assists 10-9 and have been outrebounded by 10 in the first half. Indy has also taken 14 more shots. No wonder they are losing.

Cavs go on a run to go up by 4

Not a particularly good game for the Cavs, but then a win is a win. The Cavs were terrible in the first half but for the first time all season they actually outscored a team in the 3rd quarter.

I was stuck listening to the radio tonight until the fourth. I got home just in time to see LeBron and Granger going at it a little bit. I think LeBron was in his head some there, cause Granger was looking close to getting a T. I will give credit where its due though, Granger held his own and made some shots after that to gave the Pacers some chances. Granger is likely to be an all star this year. He was in over his head though when I saw he fired up LeBron. What a HUGE block by LeBron too late in the game. I don't know if it'll get talked about alot, but that sealed this game.

Solid comeback win. It is what it is, give the Pacers some credit. They came ready to play some ball. Mo hit some big shots and Varejao played great game. If there's one major thing I would compain about, the Cavs got outrebound by 14. I can handle the being out rebounded part, but thats too big of a number for this team. 19 offensive rebounds for the Pacers compared to the Cavs 7. Just looking at the box score, cause I may have missed this. Did Ben get hurt? Only logged 19 minutes, 1 reb, 1 block and a steal. Good teams win games they shouldn't, tonight might be a case of that. Bring on Chicago again.

Pacer's were ready to play and the CAVs were kind of sluggish with Lebron leading the way most of the night in that category. Nice to see Granger wake up Lebron by challenging him. The CAVs were out rebounded to tonight by 14 boards which can be explained by Ben Wallace's invisible man imitation.
A win is a win even if it wasn't pretty for the CAVs. AV had a nice consistent game which is good considering Ben Wallace's disappearing act.
