Bremer Jason Kapono Key Factor <u>LeBron James</u> LeBron is listed as a game time decision for tonight's game. If he plays like he can, it could seal a victory for the Cavs. Watch Out For Carlos Boozer was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday. A great young talent who I feel Drew Gooden could learn something from. Jump's Prediction Cavs have been playing nice ball lately. Also, they have a clear advantage in the paint, and the home court advantage. Cavs by 9 <div align="center"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="1"><font color="Gray">Please vist NBA.com,ESPN CBS Sportsline Fox Sports.</font></font></font></div>
Great preview, thanks for helping me out there. You might want to add that Keith Bogans is questionable; He went down pretty bad during the Rocket game. The Magic have been playing better ball lately, but I'll still take the Cavs by 5.
I heard bron bron aint playin..and bogans went down in rockets? i thought he didnt even play that game...anyways he might be back..im going with the magic by 7.
Great preview Jump. Yeah LeBron probably won't play in this game. If he does that'll give Tracy some competition and I know he likes it. I say Magic by 9.

I did not hear anything on Bogans, but thanks for the heads up Ice. Cavs have the defense and the rebounding to hang in there with anybody, we have turned into a pretty good home team too since we rid ourselves of Davis and Miles. Close one, rebounding and FT's in the end will give this one to the Cavs unless Tracy has a monster game. We all know he is more than capable of that. <font color="Red">*update*</font> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Cavaliers rookie LeBron James, hobbled by an ankle sprain for almost two weeks, said he won't know until game time tonight whether he will play against the Orlando Magic. James has missed Cleveland's last three games since spraining his right ankle Jan. 17 against Utah. He seemed to have a full range of movement during a shoot-around Monday morning and said he'll shoot around before tonight's game at Gund Arena. If the ankle feels fine, James said, he'll play. Cavs coach Paul Silas said James is a little afraid and erring on the side of caution because he's never dealt with an injury before. James had been limited to only shooting this past week, but was able to make it through a full practice Sunday, saying he was able to push off the ankle and cut on it. The Cavs on Sunday upgraded James from doubtful to probable on their injury report. "It's up to him if he feels he can go," Silas said. "I'd like to see him try, but I'm not going to rush it, naturally."</div> Full Story
lol Davis and Miles were my 2 fav players after lebron from the cavs i dunno how you can let them go if i was the bobcats ill get em both. after reading that..it all depends on lebron..but if the guy is scare(naturally first injury) he will ask an expert and if I was an expert ill say sit down and rest 2 more days and youll be at 100%..but I dont know how the ankle is so I cant say anything.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TMac_OwNz:</div><div class="quote_post">lol Davis and Miles were my 2 fav players after lebron from the cavs i dunno how you can let them go</div> They wanted to do that important thing called WINNING As for the Cavs/Magic game Cavs by 7 I expect Cavs to get the win with or without Lebron.They are playing very good basketball.
Thanks for the update Ice, I was wondering that. So is Giricek going to start now and is Shammond Williams now the backup? Cavs by 6, Boozer will have 20 boards probably. Look for Z to have a monster game after Yao torched Declerq for 37 yesterday.
Tracy McGrady is on fire. He just walks up to the three point line and shoots. Ut's going in too. He had 34 points in one half. Maybe he'll get a career high point scoring game onight. The Magic have been doing well too. Good game all in all.
yeh hats off to t mac 8 threes in one half hopefully they can win though lebron is also playing pretty well
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TMac_OwNz:</div><div class="quote_post">they didnt even get enough minutes...i think they didnt even start ..</div> Do yourself a favor, close your browser.
bad news t mac gets injured he hurt his big toe hes not playing the rest of the game,dang he could have had a career night thats ashame!!
Magic lose 99-98. We played hard really but it wasn't enough. This goes to show how a team that's revolved around one player can choose to fall or stay up and play the game. Good game Magic yall kept it close. We made alot of mistakes and turnovers. hopefully we can learn from these and give Washingotn a whipping.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">Game was very aggressive, shocked me but how the refs were letting them nail one another.</div> Yeah alot of players got hurt because of that. You see Gooden and Ilgauskas get into it. Man I thought hands were going to be flying for real. Good thing they get into it or the Cavs would've lost IMO.

Boozer and Howard got into it too after Howard nailed him. Refs did a terrible job in this one.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TimFlem:</div><div class="quote_post">Didn't see that one did anyone got teched.</div> Howard got called for a flagrant 1, he nailed Boozer hard after he got a few offensive rebounds, Boozer got in his face, everyone got in the way fast or it would have been ugly. Howard has always been a cheap shot artist though.
