I believe that the Cavaliers are a better team than their record indicates. They still have Kyrie Irving and Andrew Bynum has been playing better lately. They lost in Atlanta last night and I believe Kyrie didn't score at all. I'm sure they'll be mad and motivated to play us today.

This is one of those games where we don't need to take them lightly and play our best. Playing on the road is never easy, so I hope that we're ready.

Post-LeBron, the Clippers are 2-3 against the Cavaliers. In the last meeting (a 105-89 win), the Cavs were without Irving and Varejao of course. This game should be a win, but who knows? Irving has been struggling, but he has an opportunity to bounce back from his worst NBA game against the league's top point guard. Likewise, Paul should be looking forward to the match-up and hopefully will look to strike early and often.

Bynum has been playing better as of late. He has averaged 21.5/11.5/2.3 against the Clippers since DJ has been on the team. Bynum has struggled to return to form over the last season and a half, but he has put up numbers that are reminiscent to his hey day. Over the last 3 games, Bynum is averaging 18/10/2.7 in 27.7mpg. DJ is playing much better than when the two last met, but it should be a nice challenge for them both.

Willie picks up his 2nd foul, which is too bad he has 8 early points

I really didn't' like the way we ended the 1st quarter and I didn't like our defense either. We're currently down by 6 heading into the 2nd quarter.

So far we've been a dominant team as the game progressed, that being said I'm still expecting a run by the third and a W

Post #12 » by **thanumba2clippersfan** » Sun Dec 8, 2013 1:20 am

Well we're currently down 9 to Cleveland

Good to see us get back into the game

OK there was just a Cleveland fan that just walked onto the floor and was very close to Chris Paul. Very strange

I just started watching the game. Had my head down at that moment and heard Ralph say that a fan had walked out onto the court. That's crazy. The last time it happened was when that woman wondered onto the court looking for Kenyon Martin (who was a Clipper at the time) at a Denver game that didn't involve the Clippers.

The Fan had a "Kyrie don't leave" shirt on.

Team needs to dig in deep on defense.

Post #20 » by **thanumba2clippersfan** » Sun Dec 8, 2013 1:46 am

I think the first half went out OK considering that we're down by 1. We really didn't end the half well and we didn't start the quarter well. Hopefully we really get into this game and can create some separation.
