The Cavs really showed their depth in this game, and pulled off a 97-95 victory over a team that probably should have beaten us without our stars. You know Skip Bayless had to have been disgusted to see his favorite team lose to the LeBron-less Cavs. He defends the Spurs on a daily basis on ESPN and thinks they have a shot to upset the Lakers in the playoffs this year. Well Skip, what happened? Even with Duncan, Dejaun Blair and Manu Ginobili, this team couldn't handle the Cavaliers.
"Without LeBron and Shaq, and Antawn for most of the second half, a lot of guys had to step up," Mo Williams said. "We did a good job today of finding a way. Guys came through and made plays."
Mo knew the importance of this win, as the Cavaliers had the week off until tonight vs. Philadelphia. King James will play tonight, and expect him to go off against the 76ers. In the 2 previous meetings against Idougala and company, LeBron has already dropped 36 and 32 points respectively.
Antawn Jamison will still not be playing tonight, but much like Monday night, other players will step up. The Cavaliers will dominate the rebounding battle, and we can defend with the best in the league. This adds up to a beatdown for the 76ers, who LeBron has a history against. LeBron getting a week-long rest at this point in the season is bad for any team, because you know he's going to bring it when he returns.
The 76ers play at a very fast tempo, so expect to see LeBron get a couple fast-break throwdowns. He has a history of destroying Philadelphia, and now that Allen Iverson aka The Answer aka The Unwanted One has resorted to gambling and drinking, the Sixers really don't stand much of a chance. Hopefully we can blowout this team right from the start. LeBron will make some magic happen tonight, guaranteed. LeBron James is underrated
