Jeffries is their starting center? That is a big upside for us, in that case.. I expect Big Z, Varejao, and Hickson to get theirs in the paint. Expect nothing more than a flawless victory.

BTW, if other Cavs fans don't mind, I will take the game thread for the Lakers game.

Still don't understand why they don't start Chandler over Richardson.

Is Lebron going to throw another press conference outside of the Garden showing off his new blue and orange sunglasses line? Lol.

Going to be a good one. Lebron heard about that 61 by the Mamba a couple days ago.

Chandler was just newly sent to the bench. Before that he started nearly every game.

I think LeBron won't even take a shot in the first 7-8 minutes just to show that he doesn't care about scoring 50's.

Knicks are a dangerous team. They have some chuckers who can get hot and make a game tough, so we need to put them away early in the 1st half.

On the bright side they don't have Jamal Crawford to drop his usual 50pts on us anymore, so we should have a good shot at picking up this win.

Also would be nice if Pavlovic sucked it up and played, we are really short handed at the SG spot.

well, its just my opinion, but if we are gonna trade for a PF/C, we're gonna have to wait till kinsey / delonte / sasha are back, so we arent playing with 2 guards :/ (if we gotta trade someone like boobie or sasha and wally)


that being said, Jeffries is a good defensive player, likely why he is starting.

Not scared of the Knicks at all. This is gonna be like a home game for LeBron because the crowd is gonna give him a standing O every time he moves. I am not saying he is going there I'm just saying he is worshiped there. But little do they know he is not gonna rebuild a horrible team with more problems than the Yankees.

Do not trade Boobie....almost as dumb as trading JJ. Boobie looks up to LeBron and he loves Boobie. They are a huge part of our chemistry.

Pavlovic has the flu and don't believe he travelled with the team to NY. I think it's the same strand Ben Wallace had which is brutal.

Im actually worried about this game for some odd reason. Second night of a back to back against a team that loves to run and gun and can get hot fast. Hopefully LeBron's head isnt up in the clouds and he comes out early and sets the tone instead of getting into any hype. Lets just hope we come focused into this game.

Oh and give Z the ball non-stop.

I would like to see Trey Johnson get some minutes to see what he can do since all 3 of our SG's are out (West, Pavs, Kinsey). And Wally played 44 minutes last night.

I would deal JJ for Bosh, but not Brand at this point...he is a risky investment to be honest

I agree. No way do I give up on JJ's potential for Brand. Im shaky to even give him up for Bosh, but not dumb enough to not do it. JJ has shown quite a bit so far... more than both Bosh or Brand had shown in their rookies seasons up to this point. It will be hard to give him up even in the right deal.

Is it confirmed that Pavlovic didn't travel with the team to NY?

It looks like Pavs isn't playing.. We are on a 10-0 run to start the game.. LeBron is accountable for 7.. Is he looking to break Kobe's record?

Good 10-0 run to start the game. Hope we just put them away early and don't let them get back (see Toronto last night)
Is Larry Hughes having fun yet?
