Say that to LBJ's face. Aside that, Cleveland is back in full form like last year, they got there flopper side-show bob and Hughes back in the line up. And trust me they will put up a good fight, we better bring our A game or we ain't winning for ****.

If we want to keep 4th seed, we better win this game, because we are 1.5 in lead from 9th and that's Indy and we are 0.5 ahead of Nets, Hawks & Wiz and 1 ahead of Cavs.

Last time I checked it's not March yet. I'm not worried.

We'll grab this one, and all will be well on the board.

Cleveland is not even close to Detroit.. that being said I'm still concerned because they have a very good rebounding team in bigs like Illgauskus/Gooden/Sideshow-- not to mention one of the best players in the league..plus Gibson always seems to kill us..

We can easily lose this game unless we bring it.. I wanna see some anger from Bosh and co.. just go all out and be relentless on the boards.. no half-ass efforts or we'll continue sliding all the way down the standings...

I predict a tough win...

As always, if Bosh settles for jumpers, we're screwed.

I'll be at the game. Last time I saw the Cavs play the Raps Lebron scored 56 but we still won.

Except for the last time we played them, I can't remember a Cavs-Raps match-up that didn't come down to the wire. This is just as much winnable as it's a losable game.


With Varejao back and no TJ, things don't look too good.
Obama did not shut down the practice of torture, but merely repositioned it, to the American norm. The torture regime of Ford through Clinton, year by year, produced more US-backed strapped-down agony than was produced during the Bush/Cheney years.

This is a game where Jason should be able to get off some shots, and Big Z isn't going to chase Bargs. Calderon's D also shouldn't hurt us here.

We should be able to win this one.

This will be a close game, it all depends on whether Bosh settles for jumpshots or attacks the basket aiming to get at the line.

Drew Gooden always has good games against us. Contest Boobie's 3 pt shots and double early on James. Don't let him get in a groove.

His lack of D was actually a big part of the Cavs' win on November 24th, where Damon Jones and Daniel Gibson hit about 50 three-pointers each while he wandered around, covering no one.
