Looks like Ben is out tonight.

Yahoo Link

Plain Dealer preview for the game also says Ben is out tonight.

Hope the Cavs can grab a win vs. the Bulls and that Ben comes back for the Hornets tomorrow.

that'll give him a boost not having to play a back to back

I like the optimistic read on things.

No news about whether he'll play vs. the Hornets, but it would be a lift for the team if he could step back then.

I think JJ is gonna play a huge role in the game tonight. Get the Rook more playing time.

 

[KIisKing]

Man, I hope we win. The Bulls suck even with Hinrich and Deng back. There not even completely healthy.

Lets Go Cavs!

Neither are we. The Bulls are alot better with Kirk and Deng.

I don't think many people are going to need to play big roles against these sorry ass Bulls. I'm want to see him get a lot of minutes to see what he can do, but I don't think his playing time is going to affect the game at all. Een without Z and Ben, this team is a lot better then the Bulls.

I watch them pretty frequently and read the newspapers(live in Chicago) and trust me there not good. There coach doesnt know how to prepare for good teams like us. If we contain Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon to 15 points each we win, trust me were capable.

Ben Gordon is 75% of there offense, without him they cant beat the Thunder.

Cavs will eliminate Gordon from this game. Book It.

When do the Cavs ever eliminate Gordon from games? :chuckles:

we can just stick the "gordon stopper", daniel gibson on him :chuckles:

 

[camakazee]

So with Ben out is MB seriously gonna start Zen Wright again?

I understand making the rookie work for everything, but chances are he will get more minutes, points, rebounds, and blocks than Wright. Why not just start him? Granted it doesn't give that spark off of the bench (Darnell would be our "Andy jolt," which is a scary thought), but there isn't much of a choice. Starting the game off 5 on 4 isn't really an option :thumbdown

 

[liquidfire]

I dont have a good(en) feeling about this game. Start JJ!

We need to take care of business in the first half tonight so that LeBron doesn't have to play big minutes. If Ben is not back tomorrow either LBJ isgoing to have a huge load to carry.

 

[Zog]

Funny thing on PTI tonight about LeBron in this game. They were asked what percent chance they thought LeBron had of getting another triple double tonight, and they gave him 52% and 60%. Anyways, before that Kornheiser said, "you know, I think LeBron pretty much picks his numbers (meaning stats) efore every game and gets whatever he wants." I thought that was pretty funny but hearing statements like this make me realize that people are finally starting to figure out that LeBron is the best.

lorenzen is terrible, start jj in his place.
