Injury Report:
Cleveland Cavaliers
Jamario Moon - Out with abdominal strain
Leon Powe - Out with left knee surgery
Delonte West - Gametime decision with illness
Delonte West missed shootaround with illness (a lot of players/beat writers a little sick at this point). He's a gametime decision. Me too.

Los Angeles Clippers
Chris Kaman - Questionable with back injury.
Kareem Rush - Out with knee.
Blake Griffin - Out for season with knee surgery.
If I Were Mike Brown...
The Clippers average only 94pts a game in Mike Dunleavy’s halfcourt offense. Keeping Baron Davis and the Clippers plodding down the court and grinding it out against the Cavs defense, instead of running the break, will be key to beating them. For this to happen, the Cavs must protect the basketball and crash the boards. The Clippers front court is banged up but still has two top 20 rebounders in Chris Kaman Marcus Camby. If Kaman can't go, Shaq should be able to abuse DeAndre Jordan in the post. Executing on offense and stopping dribble penetration by Davis and Gordon should provide the Cavs with a happy ending to this West coast trip.
Speaking of happy endings...
