C- Samuel Dalembert

Cleveland (19-3)
PG- Mo Williams
SG- Delonte West
SF- LeBron James
PF- Ben Wallace
C- Anderson Varejao

This will be an interesting game to see how Mike Brown manages the rotation with Z and Gibson out. Even though I have Varejao listed as the starter, I would think you would want to avoid the Varejao/Wallace combo as much as possible. We could very well see LeBron starting at PF, slide Ben to C and insert Wally/Pavs into the starting spot. Either way JJ and Darnell will get some quality minutes and hopefully they are ready for it.

Still expecting a win at home even if Z will be out for this one.

Let's try to finish the game on a better note than we did on Wednesday.

It's pretty rough without both Z and Gibson. That really shortens the Cavs bench. It brings both JJ and Sasha into play.

We should still win this one. LeBron has to prove that he's 270pounds. Go out and make some noise in the post.

I think Pavs starts at the 3 and Bron will start at the 4. Elton Brand is really no bigger than Lebron, so we could be okay but depth is gonna be a problem. Its gonna be a tough week or 2 with these injuries.......

The Cavs were favored but giving zero points in Philly on Wed and now after losing Big Z to a ankle injury, we are giving 11 to the same Philly team, we beat by 8. I know its a home game and we should still pull it out, but Im not sure I expect a double digit victory tonight. Go Cavs and hope Z and Gibson get healthy soon.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes. I agree that LBJ should start at PF, and either Wally or Pavs starting at the 3.

JJ might get a bunch of meaningful minutes tonight. That could be a very good or a very bad thing.

The Cavs offense looks terrible so far. Shots are all flat and there has been very little movement. Surprising that Z has this much effect.

The Cavs are acting more tired tonight than the last time they played. Not good that they have another game tomorrow.

This is the 3rd game in a row where the Cavs are not getting calls that they should. LeBron was clearly fouled on his 2 drives but hasn't gotten foul call at all. I think we need to put Wally in.

wow with this kind of start it could be something like 16-2. 14-9 is nice.

Okay, I asked for Wally, but he's not helping since he's missing the open shots.

Man, nobody is making shots tonight

It is also ridiculus that the refs aren't calling obvious fouls.

Brick, brick, brick.

Unbelievable that the Cavs almost got out of this quarter with a tie eventhough they played like crap.

Mo missed a FT!

Ben Wallace is an extremely smart player and an underrated passer.

Wally finishes a couple of layups and Darnell with the tough offensive board. I think he might have moved in front of JJ.

Check out Wally lowering his shoulder big time

Andy with some range...
