[Rise Against]

Sacramento fell to 3-20 on the road. The Kings are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, allowing 107.8 points per game. Also, the Kings are 0-18 against ECF teams.. The Cavs are 6-0 at home against WCF teams this season. I expect us to win.

[Gordon Bombay]

we should just kidnapp salmons after the game and keep him for ourselves...the kings will understand lol

[LoveThemCavs]

I wonder how effective Sasha will be against Martin since he's been suffering from the flu/sinus infection. This is a game the Cavs should win, but we've slipped up before in a few of those games(Was, Chi). I'm excited about what JJ has shown in his increased playing time and looking forward to seeing what he does tonight.

Didn't Udrih torch the Cavs last season at the Q?

[LoveThemCavs]

Not sure if he did or not tundraknight. Great start to this one on defense and Mo coming out strong on offense too with a quick 8 points. The ball movement on offense looks great so far.

[prekazi]

We're playing horrible defense.

[LoveThemCavs]

Things sure changed quick in this one. Cavs settling for the three's and the Kings working them on the defensive end. Sasha has been making some strong moves though early in this one.

[prekazi]

Concentrate LeBron!!!!

[prekazi]

We're defending and shooting the ball terribly.

[tundraknight]

Lmao at Big Z playing against Ferry. Good way to prepare for Dwight Howard .

[prekazi]

well that was a nice putback!

[LoveThemCavs]

About the only good thing the Cavs are doing is rebounding the ball. Not enough aggressiveness on offense, too many three's.

[prekazi]

Scoreboard is as funny as our defense. 33-42

[CHIMOCHI]

1/7 from 3, and no defense being played in this game.

[LoveThemCavs]

Anyone else notice how Martin throws his off arm into defenders and gets bailed out about everytime?

[tundraknight]

What happened to Boobie? He looks completely lost out there and cant hit a shot. And when he drives to the basket he gets called for the offensive foul. Its like he turned into Shannon Brown all of the sudden.

[LoveThemCavs]

Well atleast Mo showed up tonight. Hopefully we look to him more as we approach the half. Really though its all in the defense, the Kings are wide open for three after three. Gibson and Varejao have played like trash so far.

[witnessmoboobie]

They need to play their own game, don't get sucked into an offensive showdown

[witnessmoboobie]

Good job Mo getting the loose ball and Lebron with a monster slam!
