Philly enters the game at 23-41, losing their last 2.

Cavs come in at 50-15.

Jamison is OUT for the game with Powe replacing him according to nba.com.

I expect a cake walk for the Cavs. LeBron will have a big game coming back.

Cavs in a romp.

Spread is Cavs -8 and you best believe I took the Cavs.

I don't think I've ever seen a player in the NBA that can throw a reverse down as hard as LeBron. He puts it down harder than most guys regular dunk.

Cavs lead 36-34 after 1.

LeBron with 12 points in the first, J.J. looks pretty active with 7/3.

Igoudala with 16 points for the 76ers.

Every backcourt in the NBA wants to play the Cavs.

That needs to change. It's the only thing that worries me about this team aside from injuries, but there isn't anything you can do about that.

I'm wondering if the D just slacks in the early going...they always pick it up in the 4th, but I hate giving up 34 in the first.

I agree, although it seems with Delonte in, they are more aggresive.

It's good to see J.J. shooting the mid-range jumper in recent games. Although he hasn't developed it quite yet, it will eventually come. The more I watch him, the more I am impressed.

DELONTE! Good seeing him come in with a quick 11 points so far.

The Cavs need to start playing some D. It's not good to keep a team in the game, that's how upsets happen. Hopefully MB straightens them out at halftime...

The defense is usually soft in the 1st half, especially against teams that don't matter. But the only thing that needs straightened out is the backcourt D. It's been pathetic.

100-95 Win, picked up the D in the final frame. Need to be better on D all the way around early in the game. Hammered in the paint tonight.

Jamario played a solid game at both ends
Mo and Bron did their thing
Redz stepped it up
Andy was his usual self
Powe might be healthy but he still has a way to go before hes in game shape

It wasnt pretty but I'll take it. Get ready for Sunday, hopefully Jamsion will be back

Powe needs to be on the bench.

Powe was forced to start without Z, Shaq, Jamison things are a little thin bigs wise. Is Powe favoring the knee? I have a hard time deciding, can't tell if it's just the brace that appears to make him favor it or he actually is favoring it. I say it's not 100%, at least the way I'm seeing it.

Z should be back in 4 games, hopefully Jamison Sunday.

Nah, Powe just isn't in shape yet.. It doesn't help that he's not getting consistent PT, but he's not that effective when he is out there.. He'll have to work on getting back into shape to become effective again, though we can be patient with him.. He can still come in and give you some solid defense and rebounding.

Mo played great today.. Very happy to see that.

Cavs don't put forth 100% on defense until the 4th. It's been that way just about the entire season (sans against the elites)

I realize he's not in shape yet, that's not the question. Does it look like he's hobbling the knee a little is.

Didn't get the watch the game but West is balling right now.

Last four games averaging 18 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds in 31 minutes.

Yeah, I didn't watch either. This time of year is reserved for college bball.

I like the numbers West is putting up off the bench. Wonder if he could do the same while starting.
