SG: Sasha Pavlovic

PF: Drew Gooden

Artest misses to play against LeBron again :/

Missed 3 of the last 4 times. Only time he did he was playing pretty sore, at Arco last year. We had a nice 1st half, but were defended real well in the 2nd half. LBJ was also hitting his jumpshot well. Got blown out. The other game at Cleveland Ron was there, but LeBron didn't play.

I think were going to get beat bad on the boards... Ilgauskas, Gooden, Varejao, LBJ, Dwayne Jones (possibly). Speaking of Jones, he's turned out be a nice find for them, getting him a season ago, not playing much. But he's stuck around this season, and tunred out to be an above-average defensive presence, rebounder, and an athlete. Getting in the rotation with Varejao and Marshall out.

I think we'll probably lose this.

Key to the game is our frontcourt. I think Salmons can ....SLOW...Lebron to like 25 points tonight.

Keys to the game:

The Frontcourt
Our 3 point shooters
A team effort to guard James
Salmons
Bench Productivity

You know that one of the mods over from the Cavs forums locked your game thread, right?

That's hella messed up...

[sacking123]

This is great.
The only time for a long time that I am at home on a Saturday and the Kings are playing the ESPN Cavaliers and they aren't showing it!

That is just my luck with watching ball.
The game that they are showing.. Miami and Dallas...Meh boring

Anyway Beno will play great in this one, but it will also be the night that Larry Hughes gets his jumpshot back...Just wanted to make an outlandish statement.

Eh, he still shouldnt lock the thread up... None of the Cavs posters put up a thread up... I doubt they could put a better thread like yours...

I would love to see that.

I think we have a definite shot at winning this game. We need to try and keep Lebron and Z to less then 50 points, if we do that I think we have it. Hopefully we dont focus on the two of them and forget about the other three guys on the court. If we do that add another one into the win column.

JS is the man!!

[and2premiere]

is it just me or did the radio feed just go dead?

[and2premiere]

the wings are playing like they did in the beginning of the year, the only exception is that front court is actually producing as well.

[KingInExile]

Yes, Justin, earn your pay with that put-pack.

[KF10]

Justin!

[Ballings7]

Great 1st qtr!

Especially pleased by Justin getting to play early again - and was good in there

[KingInExile]

Fairly impressive start, almost like we are starting out where we left off in New York. Got to admit that some of our success has a lot to do with the Cavs making a lot of mistakes. But I will take a solid 8-point lead after the first.

Like what I have seen from Justin on the offensive end. Two very nice put-backs.

[KingInExile]

And then we start the 2nd with some stupid errors!!! Good early timeout by Theus, settle them down.

LOL @ traveling on a single man fast break

[RIPskaterdude]

Brad Miller Jr with the 18 foot jumper!

Yup, he's definitely worth the contract he was demanding.
