Game 22 | Cavaliers @ 76ers | 12/10/08 | 8:00 PM ET

True if larry hughes had stubbed his toe, gangrean would have set in leading to amputation.

Still would have been able to camp at the 3-point line and throw up shots while still in his wheelchair.

The Sixers have had trouble shooting the ball all season. They are missing Kyle Korver more than they'd like to admit.

Close the paint, double Brand in the post (if he ends up playing), and stay sharp on the defensive rotations. Ten in a row.

 

[Karma]

It's a shame about Gibson's injury. This team and its rotations had been near perfect thus far. I'm assuming Sasha steps up in minutes at the 2 guard.

If Larry Hughes stubbed his toe he'd be in the ICU.

 

[SteelSmack]

Maybe Gibson's injury will be a blessing in disguise. If Sasha comes in and plays like he did 2 years ago, during our run to the Finals (9 ppg, 45.3% FG, 40.5% 3P), he could pass up Wally in the rotation and make trading Wally not hurt by losing a rotational player. Or he could increase his trade value and help bring back something of value all by himself.

I hope we go to 18 of 19...this is one bad half away from being a possible 19 game win streak. I think 18 of 19 would be more impressive than a 10 game win streak.

Free throws. Center Samuel Dalembert (left-knee fluid), power forward Elton Brand (strained right hamstring), and guard Lou Williams (abdominal strain) all practiced yesterday and were expected to be available tonight.

Should be an interesting game if Brand plays, if not it will likely look like the Pacers game....LeBron shutting down Iguodala like he did Granger and Big Ben and co cleaning up on the inside.

 

[Green Lantern]

Shouldn't matter if those guys play..the Cavs have to beat this team ..and beat them down early.

I felt last year he was forcing shots. This year he is taking a good choice of shots and getting some good passes in.

I would really be bummed to blow this game on national TV after we have been playing so well

I wouldn't mind a LeBron domination 40 pt plus type of game....he has been just rolling along ever so quitely (for LeBron standards) and if he came out and laid the wood to the Sixers I would be pumped

either way I just want to win and keep the winning streak going

I see Lebron sticking to the current pattern until the team NEEDS him to have a 40 pt game. It's better that we keep the good habits building with the team offense, lots of ball movement, and good production from our bench. There will always be time for LBJ to go off...lets hope he doesn't have to for a LONG time cause it means we're kicking ass!

 

[-KingofKings23-]

We should win even though its on a back to back. Brand probably isnt gonna play and Z, Wallace and Mo played under 30 minutes while LeBron played 31 and West 33 so our starts should be well rested. Looking forward to a good game til oh lets say about 3-5 minutes into the game when we get our 10-15 point lead and then blow em out the rest of the game.

Your an idiot.... Its going to be like a 20-30 point lead :chuckles:

 

[KU_216]

I could see LBJ having a big night offensively, with the game being on ESPN and all. Gives a lot of MVP voters a chance to see him play.

 

[Maximus]

This one worries me...
