*Game Notes*​

• Cavaliers have won five of the last seven after losing six of the seven games prior.

• LeBron James is averaging 23.5 points, 7.5 assists and 7.5 rebounds and is shooting 58.3% from the floor against the Sixers but has just 4 free throw attempts.

• The Sixers finished the month of March with an 11-4 mark. It is the first time Philly has lost fewer than five games in the month of March since going 13-3 in 1984.

• Since the All-Star break, the Sixers are tied for the eighth-highest winning percentage of any team (.630; 17-10).

• Over the past 13 games, Philly is shooting just 29.9% (53-177 3FGs) from 3-point range after shooting… Philly is last in the NBA in 3-point percentage this season (31.3% 3FGs).

POINT GUARDS

Delonte West | Andre Miller

Damon Jones is Andre Miller

Btw.. you forgot Sasha in the bench rotation since hes been getting minutes lately

 

[Karma]

Will be interesting to see if Coach goes with Sasha over Wally from the start. I think that is the way to go, and I'd go almost as far as bringing him onto the bench. We need to get our best defensive 2 guard ready to take on Butler, Allen and Hamilton.

Phili are ultra athletic. Should be a strange contrast.

Looks like you got this Ben! I'll take Wednesday's game.

Got confused for a sec because it says Sunday...

 

[Redz West is Best]

Lets see if Mike Brown remembers how well delonte played against Andre Miller the last time these teams played. Delonte doesn't play enough in my opinion but Brown might be just taking it easy on him since he is injury prone. I don't know but more Delonte please.

 

[Rick Astley]

It's a win ya queers!

MB believe in Wally and he will not get out of rotation tonight....HE is good player and we need him in playoffs.....Sasha can only back-up LBJ....

 

[CBBI]

I will be very surprised if the Cavaliers win this game.

 

[Splitz]

I will be very surprised if the Cavaliers win this game.

It won't be easy the way things have been going for us. Everybody who watches tonight, analyze this thing closely, especially when Lebron goes to the bench. I want to get a good read on what is happening specifically that is causing us to play worse with Bron on the court.

 

[MarkPrice25]

As little as I am now expecting from this team based upon their recent pathetic effort, I will be watching closely to see HOW THEY APPROACH THIS GAME.

If I were playing, I'd want to wrap this seed up TONIGHT - no drama, no scoreboard watching.

I want to see a "backs against the wall" effort from the start tonight. Philly shouldn't be able to handle us. We're not a Championship caliber team, but we are better than them.

They gotta show me something.
