We should be able to win this one to set a tone for the rest of the road trip.

If the Cavs can contain the Gay-Mayo duo they should be good to go..

We need to start playing better on the road. Miami and Washington losses were embarassing enough.

Danger game. Could have a let-down after the big Celtics victory.

I would just put Bron on Mayo.... LeBron could literally shut him down without breaking a sweat....

That sucks. LeBron has to dominate the boards! Actually he gotta dominate everything.

So I am guessing Hickson will be starting in place of Wallace unless LeBron plays the 4. That also means more minutes for D-Block.

Memphis has played well at home against some of the better teams in the league, so this is a little more dangerous than their record indicates. OJ Mayo is a little dinged up after a knee to the hip in their last game, I think it forced him to miss the remainder of that game. He probably will be ready to play against us, but maybe that will slow him down a little bit. Going to be interesting with JJ and Darnell getting alot of minutes, hope they're ready for it. Marc Gasol is an impressive young player, those guys along with AV will have their hands full.

Man that sucks. I would rather see Darnell, JJ and even Jawad Williams(re-signed a 10 day contract the other day) than Lorenzen Wright. I know he's a veteran and all, but I have never liked his game.

What a shot by Coco Crisp to end the 1st... Unfortunately, we are only up by 6.

Expected this type of game without Z and Ben. Cavs need to take care of the basketball, alot of bad turnovers. Warrick is killing us on the offensive boards too.
