a-rod · Post #1 » by **a-rod** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 12:26 am

The Cleveland Cavaliers just pulled off an impressive feat no team had accomplished all season. On the same night, the Sacramento Kings did something more bewildering that no team had done in 13 years.That leaves both the Cavaliers and Kings with momentum going into their matchup Wednesday night at Arco Arena.

Probable starting lineups

Kings
No. Player Pos.
13 Tyreke Evans G
18 Omri Casspi G
5 Andres Nocioni F
34 Jason Thompson F
31 Spencer Hawes C

Cavaliers
2 Mo Williams G
18 Anthony Parker G
23 LeBron James F
21 J.J. Hickson F
33 Shaquille O'Neal C

I'll be there tonight. I think this game is very winnable, but it's certainly not close to a given. This should be a good test though. We haven't face too many of the league's really elite teams.

I'm just hoping Spencer doesn't make Shaq look like a prime Shaq.

LP has the game in HD tonight, so I'm looking forward to that. And seeing as how I am still nauseated from OSU's performance in the Vegas Bowl last night, I need a great Kings game tonight to put me back in the Christmas spirit.

The schedule is brutal coming up! We are going to find out how good we are with Cle, LAL, and Den twice. At least they are home games.

Hawes on Shaq? Shaq's droppin a career high.

Yes, it was a slide on Hawes defense, but I don't hate him.... plus we all know Shaq's gonna drop 50, not a career high.

I don't have anything to say about what you said, though that'd be great. I just had to tell you props for the Rhymesayers avy.

Our defense is craptacular.

Wow... The first 3 Donte Greene's hit in a month and he's out of bounds.

Great Jason Thompson is turning into a flopper. I'm also disgusted at how 75% of the fans in the arena are there to watch LeBron and not the Kings.

Second unit doing it again.

Impressive!

The last time I saw LBJ in person though he made Ron Artest look like an inadequate defender and took over the game. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

Nice 3 Casspi!

Gibson is a clown. He always has something cut into his hair.

Time for cuad to go on ignore...the dude has become freaking annoying.

Anyways, as for the game...very good effort to stay this tight. It's obvious that nobody in white has figured out how to prevent LBJ from getting his points. Frankly the strategy should be just let him have his shots. Stay on everyone else and make James win the game on his own.
