*GAME UPDATE* For those of you that are interested. 88-89 Cavs w/ less than 3 minutes left on the clock. Good game going on here fellas. Boozer another double-double, Battie and Wagner both in double digits.
Cavs win. 99-94 I think (just saw highlights) Boozer had a huge game. That was crazy 32 points 20 rebounds.
*GAME OVER* Cavs take it 99-94. With out LBJ and with out Z Boozer put up huge numbers tonight. With the help of Tony Battie and D. Wagner. PLAYER OF THE GAME Carlos Boozer 32 points 20 rebounds 4 assists Wagner finishes with 14 points off the bench Battie finishes with 17 and 10 rebounds -Cavs break a 8 game losing streak at home against the Sonics.
That was a rare game that had 2 second rounders led their respective teams with All Star caliber numbers .. ! Boozer was creazy today !
I think this was the game where Dajuan Wagner shook off all of his rust and i think he will be putting up solid #'s like this for the rest of the season. Carlos Boozer is having his career games in the past few days. I think Boozer deserves to be in the all star game.
64 points and 38 rebounds in two games? Boozer is showing that he is indeed a leader on this ball club. His attitude, his hard work and his abilities will take him far in his career. Im glad to have such an underrated player like Boooooooooozer on my team.
Boozer is awesome. What a game. I can't believe that I'm seeing the Lebron and Z less Cavs actually win. :shock: Great win for the Cavs.
Carlos is one of the best! This guys is all heart & guts! He never takes a night off.. if you notice night in & night out Carlos Boozer never takes a play off.. his Jersey is always dripping with sweat.. The dude's jersey is always 10 shades darker then everyone else jersey... Carlos is a old school player :thumbsup:

Thats probably a reason why he gets so many boards and points. I know from experience that nobody wants to guard the guy that sweats an insane amount.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Carlos Boozer provided the short-handed Cavaliers points, rebounds and assists. But more importantly, Boozer gave them heart -- and a win. Who says LeBron James is all alone in Cleveland? Boozer matched a career-high with 32 points and added 20 rebounds as Cleveland survived its first game without James, beating the Seattle SuperSonics 99-94 Tuesday night. Boozer picked up the slack for the Cavaliers, who were missing their top two scorers -- James (sprained ankle) and center Zydrunas Ilgauskas (suspension) -- as they swept the season series with Seattle for the first time. "To win without 'Z' and LeBron gives everybody confidence," said Boozer, only the fifth Cleveland player to record at least 30 points and 20 rebounds in a game. "Those two are a huge part of our offense, but other guys stepped up." Nobody more than Boozer, who has 64 points and 38 rebounds in his past two games. "He was a monster in there," Cleveland coach Paul Silas said. "He was totally focused."</div> <font color="Gray"><font size="1">The Cavs' King held court in street clothes because of an ankle injury.</font></font> Full Story Box Score
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Mr_Infante:</div><div class="quote_post">LBJ was real thugged out tonight. Dickie outfit with the Yanky Fitted. How much gangsta can you get?</div> Ha, I live right with the thugs in the heart of downtown Cleveland, and there was much more he could have done (which I am glad) but he looked nice. Amazing game, wish I could have seen it, I was shocked when I saw the score and even more so the box to see Boozer's monster game. When I saw the highlights he just dominated Seattle, seemed as if he grabebd every rebound he went for. Was like me if I would play with some jr. high kids right now, just not fair. Cavs proved me wrong and won without LeBron, though it was Seattle that might not say much Seattle beat Phili a few days ago, and the Cavs are 4-0 against both of them, not bad eh? Cavs play Phili this week and Bron should be back for that game. Kings next though
Boozer really is great, I'm so glad for the Cavaliers, very surprised too at that. It just goes to show how much heart this team has, their effort and pure skill, they did it without many of their big boys. Great win, congratulations, Boozer certainly showed he's worth his starting and team spot. Any team would be lucky to have that workhorse.
