Cavs 107, Clips 85. If we're lucky.

The Cavs do play the Magic tonight. Anything is possible and if we play hard we may be able to pull out a victory. I'll do my best to follow the game tomorrow because I'm traveling to DC. If not Friday's game we do have a chance to beat the Wizards. Hopefully my presence will bring us another victory.

The Cavs lost to the Magic tonight 99-88. I expect them to come into STAPLES and determine not to lose a bac2bac especially against the Clips.

Take it from me, any team can beat any team on any given night. I just got back from the Walter Pyramid, where visiting Cal State Fullerton knocked the pants off Long Beach State in a packed house 61-60 after being down as much as 12 in the 2nd half! Big West basketball baby!

Sorry, I had to get mines. Anyway....yes clipperfan4life, it's a road game. Dunno why it says its at Staples, a typo for sure. I agree with illastrate though...107-85 seems likely. But any team, on any given night....who knows.

I'll have to catch the replay if I see it at all. That's the one thing I hate about the Eastern road trips. Mardy is questionable for this one and hopefully Zach will be joining us on Monday.

The Cavs are coming off of a tough loss and will be hosting us in Cleveland where they are undefeated. I'll be happy if the team just plays better than it has lately. We've been outscored by 60 in the last 3 games. The trend looks like it can continue, but maybe we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

I'm the opposite --- the eastern games are the only ones where I can stay awake till the end of the second half. (And when they come to eastern Canada to play 22nd March, I'm going to be able to get there to see them --- inspired by numba2fan seeing them live in Washington, I made arrangements yesterday.)
Cavs will be a tough one, but I always like to hope, and all I really ask of our guys at this point is a game played with heart and hustle. Over time, I'd like to see them feel like a unified, trusting team and play that way, but I can't expect that of them now, heaven knows, after the past few months and what they've been through.

Any news on Camby tonight? I have Camby, Horford and Bargnani as my Centers so Bargnani will start at Center.

But then it comes down to either Camby or Ryan Gomes today as one of my starting forwards.

My bad.

The Clips game notes stated the game was being played at STAPLES tonight.

It's a good thing it's tomorrow's game instead of tonight's game numba2clippersfan has tickets to --- he wouldn't have known whether to drive to Cleveland or fly to LA so see the game. :lol:

Season has been a failure beyond belief but if this team has any ounce of heart they will play hard for 48 mins that is all I can ask.
