Tip-off scheduled for 7:00pm

Looks like Mo will be back
Andy did not travel with the Cavs to Toronto. His father is set to have heart surgery in Cleveland



Will the Cavs have a let down after their emotional 1st win?
Will we see Manny Harris?
How will Mo look?
Will Hickson continue to establish himself as the best PF in the league?
Will Ben Watson be watching?

I just don't want to see a letdown after the Boston game. Toronto is one of the worst teams in the league and one of the few teams that we "should" beat. It will be interesting to see Mo in the new offense because he, like every other guard we had, was never called to really drive to the hoop, just hang out around the 3-point line and wait for a pass. We never saw Boobie drive much the last 3 years so we figured he couldn't do it, but he did a few times against Boston and didn't look too terrible at it.

Go Cavs!

Cavs will win this game...look for mo to be a little off to start but find his rhythm late 2nd quarter.

It will be interesting to see how the Cavs come out tonight. Obviously with game 1 at home post Lebron, there was going to be a lot of excitement in the arena and the players were going to play inspired. Can they come out and play with the same urgency? How does Mo Williams fit in?

This is one of those "must win" games for the Cavs if they are going to sneak into the playoffs this year.

I think it will hurt if Varejao doesnt make it to Toronto. Hopefully they can pull it out

I don't think him being out will hurt them enough to lose this game.

As long as Ben Watson is either watching the game at a bar or at home....I have complete faith in us getting the win.

Go Cavs!

Hes actually just gonna jog to the arena and arm wrestle all challengers during the first quarter. Then drink 2 kegs per quarter the rest of the game,steal a semi, beat down a hooker and call it a night.

No Mo might not be all bad for the Cavs. Sessions played well in the first game. Not sure I want Mo taking many of his minutes

Games like this are going to happen. The team is young and it will take time... everyone expected a loss to Boston, so 1-1 is where most everyone thought they would be to start. Just have to win against the Kings tomorrow.

I agree. Young team trying to get used to a new system. Missing Andy and Mo certainly didnt help, we really needs those guy to be successful this year. Hopefully they can get back on track tomorrow night. Go Cavs


btw: the less we see of Jawad Williams the better off we are, hes awful.

Will the real Cleveland Cavaliers stand up? They beat the Celtics (although it was a back to back game for the Cs) and then they turn around and lose to the Raptors?

I still think they would be best to try and move Mo. He was fine for their old situation (right hand man to the alpha dog) but now that Lebron is gone, I'm not liking what I have been hearing from him. Bill Simmons was saying that he tweeted something to the effect that it was "time to get his" now that Lebron is gone. Not exactly what you want to hear from one of your supposed team leaders. I think we all remember what happened the last time he thought he was "the guy" somewhere. Milwaukee got tired of him and traded him for pennies on the dollar.

If I am Grant/Scott. I play Sessions and Boobie and see what I've got with those guys.

So, it's hard to say how the season is going to go. IF they play like they did Wednesday they win 40 games. IF they play like they did tonight they win 18. Hopefully it was just cause Andy and Mo weren't there....let's hope! haha

This is what makes the NBA hard to watch sometimes -- the inconsistency. The Cavs shock the league by handling the Celtics the other night, so the outlook on this game should have been positive, yet Cleveland blows it by 20. I don't know what to expect for tomorrow's game with Sacramento, but they're a team we should be able to beat so let's hope it happens.

This is what should make the NBA fun to watch...upsets are great. If everything went just as its supposed to and the better team always won itd be amazingly boring
