Game 5: Cavs @ Warriors, Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 10:30PM EST

[Lee]

Apparently, both Jack and Lee may not play tonight.

No, false rumor. i will be playing. I will be the fat short white guy on the bench.

 

[Stark]

Looks like Samuels and Leuer will be getting a shot tonight, along with Thompson playing center occasionally.

Just pray that we don't see a lineup with Walton out there at 4.

10:30 again? Election and Cavs games are messing up my sleep schedule.

Should be a fun game but I'm not sure we are going to match up very well with Zeller out.

 

[Soar]

Waiters comes back down to earth. Puts up 16. Zeller is a pretty big loss. Not sure where the bench scoring will come from. Miles, Leuer etc will need to have a big game if we win. Warriors are a good home team.

 

[Huber.]

Please no skinny, weak Sam Sam and Walton.

Apparently, both Jack and Lee may not play tonight.

Jarrett Jack missed the shootaround with the flu. That means they are without two of their best perimeter players. Great news after learning about Zeller.

Go CaVs!

If there's any consolation to that...I work at 4 am tomorrow morning, eastern time.

 

[Rick Astley]

Looking forward to Zeller than Waiters. God damn it.

I think the starting 5 matches up pretty well against theirs. Curry will certainly have issues keeping Kyrie out of the lane, for starters. And I think he's lanky enough that we might be able to guard him better than most PGs. Kyrie playing mediocre defense is probably the result of him not giving 100% hustle on D in order to keep fuel in the tank for the minutes he plays.

At the 2 position, I am worried about Thompson being a couple inches taller than Waiters, and you cant really put Gee on him because Gee seems like the perfect fit to guard Barnes. Anyway, Thompson is a great shooter so hopefully Waiters can get in his grill, not let him get open looks, and keep him out of the lane. I know that sounds unrealistic but its the only way to guard a guy several inches taller than yourself. Thompson doesn't have a great first step so it might work out.

Barnes vs. Gee is defense all around, so I'll call it a draw.
Not sure about the PF position since we dont know if Lee is playing or not, right? Plus we always get the same thing out of Tristan anyway, rebounding and defense. I think we all know that Andy is the best center in the NBA so moving on to the bench...

........................ Im tired.

Anyway, if Gibson hits a couple 3s, Miles attacks the basket like on Monday, and Samuels tries extra hard not to trip over his own feet, then I think we have a shot here. Honestly, IMO LAC have a better bench than GS and our guys were right there with them.

Go Cavs!

Generic post about time of game

I haven't seen Barnes yet this season. I wanted him in this draft (as of now, I'm happy with Waiters tho), so this should be a fun game to watch.
