Big game for the Cavs tonight, gotta keep playing well against playoff contenders.
Wonder if Jay Z will make it courtside with this weather.
Delonte should play, Harris might be out.

Nets are seriously hot right now. Could be a looooong day for the Wine & Gold.. I bet LeBron wishes he was in NJ right now.
Oh well, at least one of these teams has hopes past April.

Hope NJ is in Cleveland already cause if they are not I highly doubt they fly in today.

I wouldn't mind seeing Delonte take a little extra rest and sit this one out.

The all star break is coming up, that will be extra rest after playing tonight if he does go.I drain 3's wrote: I wouldn't mind seeing Delonte take a little extra rest and sit this one out.

Lebron 1v5 would still beat this team. Book it!

Also, KNR said that after morning shoot around, you can look for Delonte to be in street clothes again.

Didn't play last night and haven't played since Saturday. My guess is they came in on MondaySQ_Crazies wrote:That's a good point--did they play anywhere last night?just_a_swimmer wrote: Hope NJ is in Cleveland already cause if they are not I highly doubt they fly in today.

Good. Like someone mentioned, the all-star break is coming up. Why risk him injuring the finger again in a game like this? Give him some extra time to heal and bring him back after the all star break.wes_mantooth wrote: Also, KNR said that after morning shoot around, you can look for Delonte to be in street clothes again.

Spread is Cavs -16
That's a tough one to cover, but they're at home, and you have the best player in the league, the best team in the league, going up against quite possibly the worst team in NBA history.

I think that the Nets pesent match up problems. Don't let the records fool you.

No doubt they have some talent. Lopez is a really good player.

That's why I don't get how they can be this bad.SQ_Crazies wrote: No doubt they have some talent. Lopez is a really good player.
You have Lopez who is becoming a very solid center. You have Harris, who is a very good YOUNG PG. CDR can play. Those are 3 pretty decent players, who alone should be able to win you 10 games.

Yeah I don't get it either. I mean I don't expect them to be GOOD but I never saw this coming from them.

Exactly, just by looking at the roster; I would say middle of the pack in the East. Not the worst team in history.

The Cavs are bound to drop one they shouldn't somewhere here soon and you know this...that's why you said it.

You could be right--they aren't defending well right now and so far LeBron looks like he's having an "I don't want to be here" night, but it's early.

FWIW, this is the 1st time I've ever bet against the Cavs. I took the Nets +16.
