Harris (sprained left shoulder and strained left deltoid) and Najera (sports hernia) are out. Sean Williams has served his suspension. I'm not sure if he'll be with the team since the league is investigating the mall altercation.

Anyone want to make a bold prediction?

This game's on NBATV, with no opposing NBA games against it. Come on, guys, as a matter of pride, show the world what you've, er, got. And for the love of God, if you've got a lead, don't give it up! Thank you.

It's time to mop the floor with LebronZe James' face (all I ask for is equal treatment from the refs).

This should be a tight, respectable game, we should only lose by 24.

i have a feeling that gibson will go off for 20+ pts, Lebron will have an azz game still score 25 tho, but on a bad fg%

Yi's so bad i'm just in awe at how terrible he is. Hell, why he's still on the court is beyond me.

Sean Williams needs to come in. Anderson is getting abused.

Can Frank bench Brook for every 20+ footer he takes? Wish he would stop taking them. Also Yi is trying to play himself not only out of the lineup but out of the roster. Not sure why Vince was barely involved when he came back, by design or by his choice? I guess being down by 10 isn't so bad, mostly thanks to Dooling.

Jason Collins still in the league? Or his brother? That honor would definitely go to one of them.

He had 4 on the clock with no one open. He was also going out for Frank's famed pick-and-roll to go out there in the first place and it's not like he has great slashing skills. Not to mention, you don't want to hurt a rookie's confidence after one mistake.

LeBron's more recent 2008 Olympic Gold Medal says hello.

Well because when we have either Boone or Anderson subbing in for him, we somehow give a lot of height despite the fact they're both 6'10 240+. We give height, we give second chances and easier looks at the rim.

oh, im not talking only about that play, throughout the season he has had this tendency and missed most of them, just have a feeling like he wants to show off his range, it's not necessary

You have to admit though that every time you look at those shots, why he's even out there in the first place, it's the stupid pick-and-roll. Should he be taking all of those long shots? No, of course not. BUT why not run the offense with Lopez in the post? It worked wonders against NY (granted the Knicks aren't on the Cavs' level) and he had that one sweet pass to to CDR in this game and we haven't seen much of that plan this game.

Im perfectly fine with him in the post, even 15-18 foot jumpers, he's money on those. He had another give and go with CDr this game too. Im just simply not thrilled about the long jumpers, it's Frank's fault he puts him in these positions but Brook is really willing to take them as well.
