Big, big, big, big, big, big game.

Can't rely on our defense to totally shut down teams, we're going to have to get some offense going. Cleveland is a poor defensive team so hopefully that'll be something we can handle.

Its going to be tough with MKG and Cody both starting the game with 3 fouls.

Man.. I really really want to beat LeBron one of these times. If I'm not mistaken, we've lost 22 games in a row against him.

we haven't beaten him since 2010 when he was in Cleveland the first time. If I'm not mistaken, we swept the season series that year.

If I had any faith in Al at all, I'd actually consider this a winnable game.

A lot of my co-workers and friends are Lebron fans so I would like to beat him at least once for bragging rights. No better opportunity than now while they think they are hot sh*t again.

Was it Biz that elbowed Mozgov earlier this season and cut him open?

Biz hit him with the elbow and then Hendo scratched him. I think it was Hendo's scratch that had him bleeding.

I remembered it was more like he ran into our guys elbow. I couldn't remember if it was Biz or Maxiell.

Looks like Biz got him with the elbow but it didn't help that Hendo clawed him like Mr Han from Enter the Dragon.

We are only 3.5 games behind the Bucks for the 6th seed. I believe that's our ceiling. They're a .500 club and I expect them to maintain that. We're 7 games under so we'll have to play extremely well the remainder of the season to catch them. They won't free fall imo. It's not a situation were we can expect to be rewarded for other team's poor play in the dismal East.

We'll catch them, but I agree the 6 seed is as high as we're going to go this year.

Right now I'm not nearly as worried about seeding as in years past. I think we have a shot at just about anybody in the East if we play well.

We should treat this game like it's the playoffs. No team needs to get the Lebron curse off their back more than us.

Agreed. Eff LeBron as a staff, a record label, and a mothereffin' crew. If you down with LeBron, eff you too. Chino XL, eff you too. Die slow, my 4-4 make sure all your kids don't grow.
