ESPN wrote:Daniel Gibson, who hasn't started in two seasons, will be expected to help pick up the slack while the two guards are sidelined.

"The last couple weeks, I've been hoping to catch some minutes and it looks like now I got my wish," he said.

Gibson will face the Thunder (24-19) for the first time this season. He missed the Cavaliers' 102-89 victory in Oklahoma City on Dec. 13 with a sprained right pinkie finger.




What do you guys think?

This game will be rough without Delonte and Mo.

The Thunder are actually a decent road team, top 5 road team in the NBA I believe record wise.

Why do we start every game with turnovers?

Some turnovers to start the game, but we're playing good defense.

It only looks like we are playing with intensity, we are completely playing at OKC's tempo

Thabo Sefolosha is the best LeBron defender in the league.

4 turnovers in the first 6 minutes and as always LeBron is pretty much hiding trying to get everyone else involved

I was thinking that we needed Moon back soon for games like this, but Jawad is getting it done
