There might be a change in the Lakers starting 5 for tonight's game Horace Grant's father was rushed to an emergency room in Georgia and may of had a stroke.Grant was said to be waiting for information before deciding wether to fly to Georgia to be with his father.If he does,Grant will clearly be out of tonight's game.
Silas has also said that the Cavs will start a new 5 tonight as well, and that James may not be the starting point guard. Feel bad for Horace though, great warrior.
I think if Silas said that then this will be the starting line up PG Ollie-Only other person on this team that is a PURE point man SG Wags- I think that Silas may think that more time on the court the better......atleast that is how i feel SF James- If he said that he is not going to be the point man then this is the only place to start him PF Boozer- If he starts someone else instead of boozer then off with Silas head C Diop- He will try to have that guy that will beat around the little guards that drive in the paint on them, instead of Z just my two cents
I think it will be down to the wire. However, I think the Lakers are just too good a team. Lakers by 3.

Theres no Shaq, that means Big Z will be the go to guy and the Cavs will start the game off playing half court offense. Plus Wagner is clearly not ready to start yet alone play no more that 15 minutes. He's still rusty and needs some time off the bench to bloom. IMO here is tonights lineup for your Cavaliers: 1 guard- Ollie 2 guard- James 3 forward- Willaims 4 forward- Boozer 5 center- Zyrdrunas
Williams is best coming off the bench. I agree that Ollie will start, but I am not sure where James will be put, SG/SF would be my guess. I believe that Brown will start too, he has done well and I think he can have a good game tonight with the potential of a very up and down style. Wagner starting....no. Kobe's eyes would light up.
Good chance for the Cavs to go for an upset against the undermanned Lakers. I think the Lakers will win though, too bad. Lakers by 6
I think that Silas is getting fed up with Z at the center postion and will give Diop the night to start since he is a better D player, but Diop won't be in there long given that he will still be a little rusty and by the end Z will be in there, as for wagner, I think he will start but it will be the same thing as Diop, play him in the beginning and then bring in the guys who would start, it would be like having our bench start then when there bench is in, we bring in our better players *of course Boozer and LeBron will already be in there* You put Brown at SG, Z at center and then we will have a tired Lakers team which is not good up front against, Boozer *little tired-tired and Battie is in* and Z *fresh off the bench*. I just think that is how he should do it. Not sure though, Silas usually likes to go with the most unpredictable things, for all we know Miles could be starting at SF and LeBron is on the benc...............no, Silas is not crazy enough to start LeBron on the bench, maybe lebron will start at SG? I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL 10 P.M!
I still start Z, that is without question, Diop is not ready for starter minutes yet. I do however use Diop as my cruntch time center.
Cavs lead 21/19 after one Lakers had a 9-0 run to end the quarter. Kobe Bryant has left the game to go get his right shoulder checked out after he was fould hard by Kedrick Brown.
If Kobe's out for the game the Lakers are in trouble, trouble. They will not only be missing Shaq and Malone but kobe as well dude I would never would want to be in that situation. But they still could come away with the W you never know.
Kedrick Brown Lets just nickname you the destroyer,who is your mentor? Ron Artest? you are learning from the best kid. With Kobe out It's up to Gary Payton to lead the Lakers to a win.( Oh wait,you don't do that anymore) my mistake.
I think that the cavs will take this one and D.Wagner will play great him and K.Brown willl combine for 35 and diop will block more than 5 shots if he starts. LBJ will have a bad game if he is not the starting PG and Z will have a horrible game.. those are just my predictions.
lol, I think you're enjoying the pain of others a bit too much EDIT, nevermind, you changed your post
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting notMuchgame:</div><div class="quote_post">lol, I think you're enjoying the pain of others a bit too much </div> Not to all,Just basic jokes.I nor anyone else here likes to see any sportsman go down with an injury no matter who that person might be.Kobe is back in the game but it might of been a mistake by Jackson to put him in considering he looks in certain pain.
This game is real ugly right now. Cavs 2 of their last 20 FG's. Missing FT's, turning the ball over, typical Cavs. 33/28 Lakers, 5:17 left in the 2nd.
