We could be in for a load of trouble. Hopefully Powe enters the game early because he might be a better matchup against Gooden.

In that loss to the Cavs, Pierce played scared. He better man up and take it to LeBron tomorrow night. Get him in foul trouble = easy win.

PP + Ray > LBJ

They key to this matchup is not getting outrebounded. They're much bigger than us due to KG's and Pollard's absence, so I don't know how we will do with our biggest player 6'8" (excluding Perk).

I'm hoping KG rests till he is 100%. If he isn't then he shouldn't be playing. I'm fine seeing Leon out there.

As long as Ray gets his looks like the last game, we should win this one.
If we can beat Dallas without KG we can beat the Cavs.

If we don't control the boards it's going to be tough to win. The Cavs are a very good rebounding team. The best thing to do is to keep Scal off the floor and play someone (Powe or Baby) that can rebound the damn ball. I don't like to hate on Scal, because he's a good teammate, but he's terrible and I can't stand watching him play. :x

Hopefully the C's can still do this awesome job they have been doing without KG.

The two best small forwards in the league going head to head- should be a fun one.

Cavs were a better rebounding team then us somehow when we had KG.

Now that we have air ball Scal in the line-up offensive rebounds could be close.

Grampa Ray always does well after a 3 day rest though, so this one should be competitive.

I hope Doc realizes the rebounding issue and plays Baby+ Powe and not Posey at PF.

Is there ever a game that were going to play where we can actually expect Pollard to play? We could use his size at the C spot ohhh every game but he seems to always be injured.

Pierce is going to have the freedom to do what he wants. I hope he doesn't get to caught up in trash talking and hands it to Lebron.
Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...

Please explain to me how we could be a better offensive rebounding team with Scal as opposed to KG? :o You do know that Scal doesn't rebound AT ALL, don't you?

Most of the losses have been against teams with a star center, including the Magic twice and Cavs once, so far. Somebody needs to grow 5 inches so they can look Ilgauskas in the eye.

The last time these two teams played it was one of the most exciting games of the season.
