Game 68: Cavaliers @ Magic (7pm FSN-OH)

Probable lineup
Cleveland
G- Delonte West
G- Sasha Pavlovic
F- LeBron James
F- Ben Wallace
C- Zydrunas Ilgauskas

Orlando
G- Jameer Nelson
G- Maurice Evans
F- Hedu Turkoglu
F- Rashard Lewis
C- Dwight Howard

Injuries-
Cavs- Eric Snow- OUT, Daniel Gibson- OUT
Magic- Tony Battie- OUT

Just looking around the site there has been plenty of banter about which team is better of the two. Time is running out on the Cavs having any chance at the 3 seed, so I'll give the Magic their props. They've had a fine year this year. I wouldn't mind a Magic-Cavs ECF, that would really shake up the talk on realgm. It should be a pretty good game tonight since the Cavs are finally starting to get all their players back. With only 14 games left after tonight this will be a good test with all the new guys. It's time for them to figure it out.

Nice game thread LoveThemCavs.

This is an important game for us. Not so much for seeding or making a statement, long term this game doesn't matter - 3 or 4 seed we get Bos/Det.

But we have played like **** on the road since the trade and need to show some progress on that front.

A strong game from Delonte would go a long way - the Magic guards historically kill us (especially Keyon Dooling)

Facts:
- Second night of a back to back.
- LeBron played huge minutes again last night.
- This is Z's second game back from injury.
- This is Pavs fourth game back from injury.
- Gibson is still out.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but this doesnt look good to me.

Dwight Howard keeps blocking every damn shot

No Excuses. If we lose we lose

I like Sasha's aggressiveness so far and Delontes defense.

Don't tell me that Howard is going to have another career foul shooting night. That's what won them the first game we played.

LeBron starts the game missing 2 in a row for the second straight game

Howard with the nice left hand

Lebron playing aggressive = I like it.

Draws the foul early on D. Howard

Cavs just aren't meshing. To me it still looks like they have no clue what to do on offense. I wonder if Brown is capable of getting all these players to play together.

Nice pass by LeBron boy it's easy when they triple team you

Benedict_Boozer · Post #13 » by **Benedict_Boozer** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:37 pm

Magic really pushing the tempo

I don't think that's in our favor on a back-to-back long term

Though the result is pretty good so far

Wow, that Devin Brown breakaway just lets you know how fast LeBron is.

Pretty cheap foul on Joe Smith

Benedict_Boozer · Post #15 » by **Benedict_Boozer** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:41 pm

Uggh come on Devin - WTF was that

Post #16 » by **TheOUTLAW** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:47 pm

Wally is getting timid on offense. He had an open shot but he hesitated

Dooling with the acting job to get a foul call.

Post #17 » by **TheOUTLAW** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:48 pm

How the heck wasn't Wally fouled? He was hit 10 times harder than dooling a few seconds earlier

This bench group Mike B. insists on going with SUCKS

There is no playmaker yet Mike B. refuses to ADJUST

Wally has turned into crap on us. C'mon dude, you are an outside shooter. Shoot from outside. If I see him trying another spin move in traffic I'm gonna go off.

how many games is Brown going to use the same 2nd unit lineup that cannot score a point. How stubborn is this idiot?
