[Rise Against]

Let's sweep them.

[prekazi]

I've a bad feeling about this game.

[boshjonesford]

The Matrix is gonna shut down King James

[Notorious23]

The Matrix is gonna shut down King James

I hope so. Will be tough for you guys playing without Bosh from now on.

[TheOUTLAW]

The Matrix is gonna shut down King James

It seems that every year I get this from Toronto fans. First it was Parker then Moon and now Marion. But let me tell you, if he doesn't get a whole lot of help he has no chance whatsoever (especially since he's not backed up by a shot blocker).

[prekazi]

The Matrix is gonna shut down King James

I've a bad feeling but not that bad.

There's no such thing as a Raptor player shutting down LeBron. History hasn't written it yet.

Again, I've a bad feeling, this won't be a blowout.

Nobody can stop Lebron. Every night he steps on the court his team has a chance to win simply because of him. Considering Lebrons age this is truly incredible and Cavs fans are very lucky to have him.

As for the game I'm really excited to see Marion in our lineup. I'm not going to be ridiculous and say the Matrix will shut down Lebron but he should be able to do a better job than any other wing we've had in a long long time. Here's to an exciting game. It's always fun to watch the king in action. GoraptorS

Wouldn't surprise me if Joey G gets the nod at the 4 if CB4 can't go.

[wajr]

^ You hit it. Joey is starting at the four.

[Alfred]

Joey is starting at the 3, Marion will be the 4. I also wouldn't be surprised if Joey guarded LeBron for most of the game TBH.

[Roger Murdock]

Finally we get another game, feels like forever.

[LoveThemCavs]

Kinsey is back and starting tonight with Wally coming off the bench again. Ben is out and Varejao starting. Well atleast Kinsey is back sooner than expected, he was looking real good before he got hurt. No Bosh for them either. Go Cavs.

[LoveThemCavs]

Wow what a terrible start. No one can make anything and the Raptors are schooling our defense at the moment. LeBron seems aggressive atleast.

[LoveThemCavs]

LeBron's ability to chase down players from behind to block them is unreal. The victim this time is Calderon. Nice block by AV too right before that. A little more life in the defensive effort. Down 4 with a few minutes left in the first quarter.

[LoveThemCavs]

Ukic just got his ankles broke by Mo. That was nice. The play before that I was going to type that Mo can't dribble that good for a PG. JJ needs to use that pump fake move of his alot less than he does. He's looked sensational in his minutes though. It's all about the defense though right now. Up 2.

[LoveThemCavs]

So did everyone forget we have a game tonight or what? Cavs looked alot better in the second quarter defensively. On offense, just sloppy passing like crazy. 11 turnovers already, can't be doing that and expect to win much. Thankfully the Cavs are plus 9 in rebounding, as they should be against this Toronto team with or without Bosh.

[Rise Against]

Not the best first half but let's hope we won't give the Raptors the lead during Kryptonite quarter.

[LoveThemCavs]

I like what I'm seeing now. This is what the Cavs looked like early in the year. Great ballmovement, LeBron off the ball, and the defense playing tough. Kinsey made some sweet plays out there, damn I'm impressed by him. I'm suprised it took Brown as long as it did to put him on the court. Just like that Cavs up 12.

[Niko23]

great another injury
