I like Devin Brown but not sure why he is starting.

Hopefully once Wally learns the offense he can move into the starting lineup. Starting Devin Brown/Ben Wallace will lead to teams sending triple teams on Lebron

Lets start these new guys off the right way and get ourselves a W. Great opponent to get everyone acclimated against. Should be lots of eyes checking in on the Cavs tonight.

Can't wait to see the new additions. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of praise for this deal after tonight. It will be awhile before we know for sure if it helps us... but the fact that we're playing memphis and chicago is playing houston tells me its going to look great for us after day 1.

Yup. Can't wait to see these new guys ball. I was a bit skeptical of the trade when I first heard it but I'm coming around to it.

Here's to LeBron averaging 10 assists the rest of hte way through :beer:

Heck he's averaging nearly 10 rebounds the past two months.

Has anyone heard the official starting lineup for the game? Is it the one in the OP of this thread?

That'll be the starting lineup, unless Brown decides to make a last minute decision. Damon, Joe and Wally will be getting close to just as many minutes as the starters (minus Lebron) I'm sure though. And if we have a comfortable lead in the second half, I hope to see Dickens and Thomas get some more minutes.

I haven't watched a Cavs game where they didn't play my Lakers since the finals.. But I will be watching tonight.. I'm really interested to see how these new guys mesh.

I hope you guys come out of the East.. A Kobe vs. Lebron finals would be truly amazing

Since the Bulls don't play until 8, I'm sure a few of their fans will be stopping in to tell us how crappy a certain player is doing tonight. Hopefully not too many of them though, I'd rather read about the actual game. And girlygirl, yes that is the starting lineup for this game. It will likely change in the upcoming games since Varejao/Pavlovic are almost ready to come back.

Delonte is giving the ball up too fast. See if you have a shot or can create first then give it up to Bron

Terrible shot selection by LeBron with the quick 3

Wallace is playing well so far

West with the 3. If he can make those it doesn't matter what we gave up
