Houston Rockets - 36 - 21 (.632)


Projected Starting Lineups
PG: Aaron Brooks
SG: Ron Artest
SF: Shane Battier
PF: Luis Scola
C: Yao Ming

Cleveland Cavaliers - 44 - 11 (.800)


Projected Starting Lineup
PG: Mo Williams
SG: Delonte West
SF: LeBron James
PF: Ben Wallace
C: Zydrunas Ilguaskas

Keys to a Victory:
1. Simply play defense. Stop LeBron (Battier-Artest) DONT GAMBLE
2. Get everyone the ball... Ball movement
3. Let Yao abuse Big Z and Artest abuse West
4. Rebound the ball

Lets go for a more less aggresive picture.

WE aint' losing till next pre-season.......

Rockets need to contain the role players, let Lebron James play his 1 on 5 game. He can score 50 for all i care as long as the rest of the team does crap.

Those cheer leaders are hawt, especially the middle one.

Anyways, I'm going to say this is going to be a tough one. Artest and Battier need to bring their best defensive game on LeBron. We need to take advantage of Yao down in the low post, both Wallace and Z have problems with, and I also want to see Aaron Brooks school Mo Scrub (cocky bastard!).

I remember Yao said to the journalist:"Just wait and see in our home court!" in Chinese after last match vs Cleveland Cavaliers.I can't wait to see whether they could revenge this time.

This is a big game for CLE. Starts a tough road trip so this should be a good game as our team will come out ready to play.

Well we can do two things. We can seal a good home stand with a big win. Or we could bookend the home stand with a loss (we loss to start it against Philly). Pretty much up to us. Beating Portland and Dallas tells me we can beat Cleveland. They are not the same team on the road...more importantly not the same team on the road against West teams.

its delonte and mo im worried about.. every one is so focused on lebron and forget these guys can explode for 20+ every night.. im also worried about wally coming off the bench he usually goes for 15 and von has to step up his defensive effort too... oh and lets not forget gibson.. lowry has been having a tough time guarding the 3 in recent games..

i guess what im trying to say is: Tough Game

Gibson always seem to play well against us. Delonte didn't play in last night's game because of his wrist so maybe he won't play Thursday?

Yes!
I can't believe Mo Scrub guaranteed a championship. Brooks will put that Scrub in his place.

we are going to see more flop

Getting plenty of flop is important to a well balanced diet.

So, who are you calling fat now? So disrespectful...

Getting plenty of flops is good for the soul.

What? Flop has half the calories of pick and roll! They have new diet flop now too.

You lost calories by drinking ice water too. I'm sure you lose some as well for flopping. Didn't they say you will also lose some by kissing and singing?

Singing I believe, but Kissing? Maybe it means what kissing leads to?

kissing doesn't always lead to what's on our mind (at least your tongue is exercising)
but i'm in the best shape in the last 5 years during those 3 days i was doing mainly THAT (like 6x in 3 nights&days)

i was talking the same thing too
finished 6 boxes of chocolate in 3 nights and days

What would our mothers' think if they read what we put on these boards? *tsk tsk*

I agree. Let's try to contain Mo williams. Lebron will get his regardless and there's no doubt shane/ron will make him work for every shot. Does anyone know the refs for the first meeting? b/c they were horrible. Yao picked up some BS fouls early and that really lead to their victory. Stern loves sucking James's dick and there's no doubt he'll put his "special crew of refs" in for this game.

One of the most tightly officiated players against one of the worse officiated players.. We all should know how this game will end.

I wonder how our defense on Mo and Delonte will be. obviously one will have Battier or Artest on them, which is scary in a sense because of their speed. I'm thinking of running AB and Lowry to counter the speed and stay in front of them. I think it could work. And Big Z will attrack Yao from the paint, maybe put scola on him and Yao on Wallace.
