Bremer/Cuttino Mobley Darius Miles/Jimmy Jackson Carlos Boozer/Kelvin Cato Zydrunas Ilgauskas/Yao Ming 6th Men Eric Williams/Maurice Taylor Players To Watch LeBron James/Steve Francis James: 18.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists Francis: 17.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists Fast Fact Eric Williams, Tony Battie, and Kedrick Brown make their debuts for the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. LeBron James has been scoring over 26 points per game over his last 3 games. Injury Lists Cleveland Cavaliers Dajuan Wagner Bruno Sundov DeSagana Diop - out Ira Newble - out (flu) Houston Rockets Adrian Griffin Mike Wilks Keys To The Game Cleveland - The Cavaliers must keep the backcourt duo of Francis of Mobley out of the paint and force them to take jump shots with a hand in their faces. I attack the basket early, as cato and Ming are 2 of the best shot blocking duos in the league, any any way they can initiate contact to get some early fouls could be a huge plus. - By the Sandman Houston - The Rockets are in nesperate need of a win right now. They are on a three-game losing streak, with no bright spot to even think of. They were spanked 92-75 last night against the Wolves. Tonight however they have an easier game. The Cavaliers like the Rockets are not doing to "hot" at the moment either. Cleveland has lost 34 consecutive away games however they will be playing at home tonight where they are 6-5. The key to tonights game as always is Yao Ming. Ilgauskas. - By Dexter The Sandman's Take Time to see how well some of these new additions fit in for coach Paul Silas. I expect a low scoring, turnover filled game. Rockets by 4. Dexter's Take What is there to say? If the Rockets shoot well tonight they will win the game, if they dont they will get their ass kicked like they have the last three games. There really isn't much more to say. I hope to God that the Rockets have a good shooting night tonight, If you think the morale is low now, wait till they lose to the Cavaliers. I don't think they will lose tonight thought. My prediction: Rockets 92. Cavs 84 <font size="1">Please visit NBA.com</font>
I think the rockets will have this one. All they have to do is shoot well and they'll take the W. Rockets by 7
Eric Williams, Tony Battie, and Kedrick Brown all checked in at the same time midway through the 2nd quarter as the Cavaliers just look terrible on the offensive end. Rockets up 21/9 with 2 minutes left in the fiirst. ---------- Rockets up 21/13 at the end of 1 Yao Ming has 8 points on 4-5 shooting ---------- Score is now 26/23 (8:30 left in 2nd) Rockets, Williams, Battie, and Brown have been huge and are the reason why we are on this run. ---------- Cavs up 32/30 now with 3:56 left in the 2nd Battie has 10 ----------
38/37 Houston @ the half James has 6 Boozer has 7 rebounds and 3 assists Z with 9 and 4 Battie, Brown, and Williams have combined for 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists. Low scoring game, just as I called. ---------- 67/66 Rockets after 3 Rim got a little tight on the Cavs as 2 James shots and one Eric Williams shot from inside of 5 feet went in and out. Z has 17 and 7 The new 3 have combined for 36 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. ----------
Talk about instant dividends. The Cavs new acquisitions have already accounted for: 36 PTS 12 REBS 7 ASTS Cavs lead this game 76-69 early 4th quarter. The healthy stat is Big Z with 19 pts and 7 rebs. The Cavs need 20-10 nights from him consistently. 5 players in double digits ... very impressive for the Cavs.
89/85, Rockets win the 12-0 run was the ball game. Yet another 4th quarter loss for the Cavs. Bremer, Boozer, and Miles...check out what they shot... 3-17 for 7 total points MVPlaya, what are you doing? I am the mod of this forum and will handle that information, there is a Sixer game going on you know.

I edited my post a couple times...updating on what was happenin in the game since you weren't so I just decided to step in... You need to chill and get what ever you got against me cuz thats just a weakness. I don't care if you come in and update the sixer game, I can care less... The Sixer game is on, and I will go over there and update it as I was goin to. So I guess I can say I helped this forum out pretty good can't I?
I was not updating it? What do you want, me to update every 2 minutes of the game? Look at how many times I gave updates (8) *waves off* <div class="quote_poster">Quoting TimFlem:</div><div class="quote_post">The rockets won by 4 just like you predicted.

Look at how many times I gave updates (8) </div> I really don't care how many times you have givin an update, I'm not the admin or mod so I don't really get why you are tellin me. You didn't update it every 2 minutes? I updated it every 30 seconds - 1 minute. So therefore I was just helpin you out... chill... Why do you got a problem with it anyways?
