<font size="14">VS</font> <font color="orange">CHARLOTTE BOBCATS</font> (1-6) @ <font color="darkred">CLEVELAND CAVALIERS</font> (5-3) Saturday, Nov. 20 7:30 pm, Gund Arena COACHES Bernie Bickerstaff / Paul Silas PROBABLE STARTERS Brevin Knight / Jeff McInnis Eddie House / Ira Newble Gerald Wallace / LeBron James Emeka Okafor / Drew Gooden Primoz Brezec / Zydrunas Ilgauskas 6th MEN Steve Smith / Eric Snow Players To Watch Primoz Brezec / LeBron James FAST FACT: Second half of a home and home series between these two teams. Injury List Cleveland: Anderson Verejao, Luke Jackson Charlotte: Bernard Robinson, Tamar Slay <font color="blue">King's Keys</font> * Focus on defense. Don?t let the Cats get any easy looks from the perimeter. Interior D should be stronger as well. A few defensive lapses let the Bobcats get back in the game in our last matchup. * Give the ball to our big three in the frontcourt. LeBron, Drew, and Big Z should be able to do a good deal of damage against this team. They will be hard to stop for their players. Feed them the ball and let them go to work. * Don?t settle for jumpers, attack the hoop. The Bobcats aren?t a very good defensive team. Use good judgement and look for the easiest shot available on the floor. There is no need to rush shots against this team. * Contain the scoring threats. The Cats don?t have many of them, so keeping their scorers under control will give us an easier time. Focus on Brezec, Wallace, and their other key players. Watch out for Kapono and Bogans too, as they were able to light us up during stretches in our last game. * Don't fall asleep on the Bobcats. They may come out pumped and ready to win this game. Always be prepared for a really tough game, regardless of who the opponent is. We should not underestimate them even though we were able to blow them out last game. FINAL THOUGHT : The Cavaliers will be looking to extend their winning streak to six with another victory over the Bobcats. In their last game, the Cavs were able to take advantage of the ejections of Wallace and Bickerstaff. Look for the Bobcats to come out and try to split this little series. The Cavs should still be able to come out with a comfortable victory as long as they stay focused and play hard. Prediction: Cleveland wins, 104-91
Look for Charlotte to try and get some revenge by playing tougher however, I think it will be to no avail. The Bobcats simply aren't a good enough team. I'm going to say 100-88 Cavaliers
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CLEVELAND, Nov. 20 (Ticker) -- LeBron James scored 25 points and Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 10 of his 12 in the second half as the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled away in a 100-84 victory over the reeling Charlotte Bobcats. James produced 15 points in the first half but did not get much support from his teammates as Cleveland clung to a 48-47 lead at the break. But Ilgauskas combined with Drew Gooden to score 15 points in the third quarter as the Cavaliers opened an 80-62 advantage. Cleveland scored the final 11 points of the period, and sealed its sixth consecutive win by scoring the first five points in the fourth. Gooden had 13 points and 10 rebounds to record his fourth double-double of the season and Jeff McInnis added 24 points on 7-of-12 shooting for the Cavs. Gerald Wallace scored 15 points for Charlotte, which has lost six straight. Rookie Emeka Okafor recorded 10 of his 13 points in the first quarter to help the Bobcats take a 28-22 lead after 12 minutes.</div> http://www.nba.com/games/20041120/CHACLE/recap.html
