The Cavs have lost 3 times since our last meeting back on December 6th.

That was also the last home game with Jason Richardson

Cleveland always rocks us =[

I hope we can pull together a competitive game tonight but I'm not expecting much on the tail-end of this back-to-back.

I always get so worried about back to backs after such a big win.

My expectations are always so high because they juices are still flowing from the night before and I am usually harder on the players than normal.

No matter the outcome, I just hope we play well and not like 10 year olds tonight.

speaking of looking like 10 year olds, look at Delonte West's picture. Is he white/ black? Human/Alien? What is he?

I won't be surprised if we lose this game to you guys. Despite your record you guys are very competitive

AV and Ben Wallace are a bad match up for EO50 and Boris.

Without Big Z in the game, we can win the inside game. Coming off OT win last night against Boston and Cavs having last night off, it will be hard.

We are looking pretty flat out there - which I guess should be expected after last night.

Looking good tonight so far. I forgot that whenever the Cavs play us they can just sit back and throw up all kinds of circus shots that will go in. It would be cool if we could create some space so they at least had to work a little on defense.

Wow! I went upstairs to put my kids to bed and it was 19 - 11. Come back down and it's 43 - 16?! Did we just walk of the court and let them play 5 on 0? Maybe they threw a couple baskets in for us out of generosity? My gosh, I at least thought we'd be competitive.

Strange sight. Looked on Yahoo to follow the game. They list Top Performers of the game. for us, it said Sean Singletary with 5 pts and 1 reb. Did not expect to see a game where at any time he was listed as our top performer.

Howard just got tossed for getting two T's, on the bench, in the span of about 6 seconds.

Guess we'll get to see a lot of Lex in the 2nd half!!

Since the game is in Cleveland, it is only appropriate to say that the Browns just hired Mangini as their new Head Coach.

At least we cut the lead to 17. If we play tough out of the gate in the 3rd and get it down to single digits, we'll have a chance. I kinda expect King James to come out smoking in the 3rd, assert himself and try to take over the game.

At least Ray, Crash and Singletary got some rest on the flight to Cleveland, cause the others sure didn't!

We need to tighten the D up and cut down on the mindless turn overs. If we can do that, we are a chance to get it down to single figures.

Crash started to assert himself half way through the 2nd. We are going to need a LOT more of that if we are a chance.

Felts and DJ starting together in the back court at the start of the 3rd.
