Wow Delonte and Ben

[Rise Against]

So is it a given that West and Wallace will be back by tomorrow?

Also some nice info..

- LeBron averaged 33.7 points on 50.3 percent shooting in his last six meetings with the Bucks.
- The Cavaliers are 13-0 on the road when they score at least 97 points.

Well this is what Delonte's player page on Yahoo says:

Feb 19 G Delonte West (fractured right wrist) is expected to play Friday in Milwaukee. "He does so much for us. This team has so many pieces to it. We missed his scoring, defense and playmaking. Teams worry about LeBron so much. Everyone takes pressure off each other. He can defend the best player on the other team," Cavs G Mo Williams said about G Delonte West's seemingly imminent return.

This is at the bottom of the Team Report on the yahoo Cavs page.

• G Delonte West (fractured right wrist) is expected to play Friday in Milwaukee.


• F/C Ben Wallace (14 stitches in right forearm) is expected to play Friday in Milwaukee.

I guess they could be wrong, but I would love to think our starting unit is finally together again. Kinsey is back. The only person missing is Sasha and he wasn't getting minutes until Delonte got hurt. Brown is just going to have to force feed more minutes on JJ. The more experience he gets between now and the playoffs the better for us.

Should win this game.

Boston got their 12th loss.. So, if the Cavs win out the rest of the way, we get that number one seed in the east.. Time to inspire and motivate.

30 game win streak to close out the season ?

^Hell yeah!

Yup JJ needs REAL game experience. Ferry didn't upgrade our bigs so our best bet is to get his confidence up and get him ready to handle at least 10-15 min stretches in the playoffs.

He has the ability, just needs experience at this point.

Delonte will not be playing. Probably still the right call. We shouldnt need him tonight.

Yea I'm not too disappointed in Delonte missing this game. He's been practicing over a week now and cleared to play so it won't be long until he gets in a game. He's probably driving Mike Brown crazy begging to get in this game still.

Ben is playing tonight. I am expecting our frontcourt to dominate this game. No Bogut for Milwaukee, so there is no excuse. Z should get tons of touches early in this game, just like the Cavs did in Toronto.

[witnessmoboobie]

Im so excited, I can't hide it!

[prekazi]

Damn, I don't have a stream. Cavs are 1-3 when I miss the games.

[witnessmoboobie]

I think we will manage to pull this one out

[witnessmoboobie]

I like that...Z with 2 quick baskets

[prekazi]

LeBron made a hook shot and I missed it? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[prekazi]

Looks like we're playing horrible. Who's guarding RJ?

[witnessmoboobie]

Kinsey

[prekazi]

Elson for 50!

[LoveThemCavs]

Milwaukee is beating our defense down the floor. It's leading to layups before the defense even gets set up. Good strategy by Skiles and staff. Offense is fine, they won't play us 35 feet out all game long. It's all about the defense stopping these easy buckets by the Bucks.

[witnessmoboobie]

What a shot by Bron!

[witnessmoboobie]

Not a good quarter. We got exposed out there. MB should lay into them a bit and hopefully we see a different team out there for the final 3 q's
