statement game...lets get it

Good matchup for Yao I expect him to bounce back big time.
T-Mac usually brings his a game versus Lebron and hopefully Newble's aggressive defense will piss him off.
We can't afford to lose this.

t-mac should be able to abuse newble if his jumper is still on the mark. newble will have to defend very tight, and will probably bite on most ball fakes, leaving mac a lane to the basket to score or lob to dirty laundy.

east sucks, we should win.

Excellent matchup for yao, let's hope we can contain Lebron in the paint.

Yao should have a field day because Varejao is out as well.

A game we need to win to sustain our momentum.

When you play the Cavs, you know you REALLY have to stop one man.

If we can keep him in check, we should win.

Varejao and Pavlovic are out for this game, and we're at home...we better take care of business. We have to neutralize Lebron, and make sure Gibson doesn't get hot. We're good enough to win this, we just have to hope Lebron doesn't go wild on national TV.

Shane has done a good job of containing Lebron, and neither Lebron nor Newble (lmao) can guard McGrady.

Yao has had trouble with big Z in the past and is in a big funk. He admitted he sucked, now he has to play superior in this game. He's got two days of rest, fatigue not an excuse.

yao struggled with Z in the past? lol. yao will bounce back HUGE in this game. hopefully the team will play better at home b/c they need to DOMINATE at home if they want to be elite.

we've proven we can win on the road. but i still want to win in dallas dammit.

should be a win for us,

it's Chinese New Year on game day
millions of people are watching in China
we better win

back at home
lets do this

Cleveland is definitely a step up from the likes of our recent opponents, but there is still no excuse but to go out and win this game. Lebron is good enough, however, to win it by himself if he goes MJ on us.

id definitely want lebron to become mike james on us!

We can win this game but remember, LeBron is NOT a jumpshooter, he won't take many 3s and especially jumpers. He is not a shooter.

Keys to the game:

1. Guard LeBron
2. Do not put him in the ft line and don't give easy dunks, layups (he can only drive)
3. Guard LeBron but also don't give open looks for Jones, Gibson, Hughes even Z.
4. Guard LeBron !

Come on, gotta be a great game, we can really win that game. We need to remember Cavs are nothing without LeBron. T-Mac vs. LeBron, both have been playin' pretty well but I see Tracy takin' over.

Go Rockets !

To bad the game is on TNT :/

KEY MATCH-UP

vs.

This Cavs team reminds me of McGrady's Orlando team with a better supporting cast. Its like LBJ has to do it all himself, if LBJ were to go down with an injury this team would seriously be ****.

This will be a big win because we need to beat a good team now.
