The Cavs have beaten the Pacers in nine straight contests, including the last three played at Conseco Fieldhouse. Over that span, the Cavs have outscored the Pacers by an average of 13 points (106.3-93.3) and held Indiana to .434 shooting while shooting .494 from the field.

With a win tonight, this season's Cavaliers would become the fastest team to win 40 games in franchise history. The Cavaliers team to win 40 games in the least amount of games was in 1988-89, when the team achieved their 40th win with only 12 losses on February 22nd.

The Cavs are 26-0 when they score 100 points, averaging 108.5 points to opponents 93.3 (15.2 point margin) and are shooting .496 while opponents are only shooting .422. Of those 26 games, 14 have come at home and 12 have come on the road.

The Cavaliers have won five of their last six road games and at 16-9 (.640) have the 5th best road record in the NBA.

The Cavs have made 10 or more three-pointers in 11 of their last 14 games, are shooting .458 (142-310) from behind the arc over that span

The Pacers will play at least the next two games without Mike Dunleavy and Jeff Foster.

Coach Jim O'Brien said after this morning's shootaround both Dunleavy and Foster would be out "until after the All-Star break," meaning they'll miss tonight's game against Cleveland in Conseco Fieldhouse and Wednesday's game in Milwaukee against the Bucks.

Horrible start. Z is pathetic on both ends so far.

Started off the game ice cold shooting the ball. Some bad passing too. Hibbert looks pretty good out there too. Down 5 early.

Sick crossover and left handed dunk by LeBron. Defense picking it up some here.

3 to's by LeBron already.

LeBron once again playing like the boy who couldn't

The shots just aren't falling right now. Z and Mo missed some easy ones to start the game. Lighten up a little on LeBron geez. He's shooting well, has a couple boards and has helped hold Granger to a 1-8 start. Just need someone else to hit some shots for us.

TheBron feeling it now. Heat check coming up.

Uh oh, LeBron looks like he's found his game again. Just no more turnovers please.

I hate LeBrons heat checks. I think we might have bypassed that one.

Wowza, how does LeBron make that? Hell of a buzzer beater. After all that crap, tied after the first quarter. Just keep shooting it 23.

prekazi · Post #13 » by **prekazi** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 12:36 am

LeBron please don't miss the next 5 one.

Actually please don't shoot another 3!

He can beat this Pacers team alone.

Jim O'Brien looks like the Wolverine.

He actually does a little bit.

My God, what is wrong with this team.

LoveThemCavs · Post #17 » by **LoveThemCavs** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 12:51 am

We are going to need 50 from Bron if someone else doesn't start hitting some shots. Bron is on fire though thankfully.

Looks like only LeBron wants to win this game.
