INJURY REPORT:
Cavs: Shaquille O'neal: thumb strain
Knicks: Tracy McGrady (knee- questionable) / J.R. Giddens (knee surgery)​

Tips to Victory:

(1) Move the ball! Too many times against the Knicks does Lebron want to dictate everything and take all the shots. ESPN calls it "auditioning", I call it poor basketball. Get everybody involved, especially allowing Jamison to create his own shot and let him move around.

(2) Place our pace! Knicks will try the run and gun thing and although I'm confident the Cavs can do any type of basketball, best take the NY squad out of it altogether by slowing down the pace to our tempo. The Knicks play no defense, forcing them to do so gives the home team a huge advantage.

(3) Close out on their perimeter shooters! Galinari (meatsa ballsa!) loves to shoot those 3s, time to put Jamison's perimeter defense to the test. Danilo is a prime offensive weapon for the Knicks, so getting him frustrated with his shot will work wonders.

(4) Remember who you're playing and who you are! The Knicks are a bottom feeder team, once their out of it, keep them out of it the entire game. Boston got lazy and they suffered the worst defeat of the season against the lowly Nets. The Knicks are a better team, but let's not put ourselves in a position for them to build a run and gain momentum. Game should be over by halftime.

Good stuff, but did you forget JJ 'Kid Dynamite' Hickson?

Wilson Chandler will not be in the starting lineup because of personal reasons.

Get ready for Ferry's lovechild, Al Harrington in the starting lineup.

You guys hear about this?

I support the cause but I don't like the way they went about doing it. I mean it makes the state look like a bunch of, for lack of a better word, cry-babies. Look at the mascot! It's some dude in a costume shaped as the state of Ohio crying. Supposedly, they'll be at the game handing out crying Ohio faces free. I wouldn't wear them, not because I don't want LeBron staying in Cleveland, I just think I'd look stupid and it make me look childish.

Wait they're doing this again? They did this during the last Knicks game at the Q.

Actually, I'm not sure....That link says Feb 6th....My bad on that, didn't see that date...


I wouldn't doubt it though that they'll do it again.

Wow these game threads are great! Fantastic job!

As for the game I expect a easy win.
Antawn is still adapting to the system but I think he'll have another 20+ point game and I'm hoping to see more play time for Moon and Powe.

I can't believe this kid is getting publicity ... and apparently he never took a marketing class ..
