Cavs at Sixers 12/10/08

Cleveland Cavaliers at Philadelphia 76ers, Dec 10, 2008 5:00 PM PST


It's been a while since the Sixers played.

Elton Brand will probably return on ESPN tonight.

All that means is we'll get to see LeBron dunk on us in HD. Apparently he has no regard for human life.

The Cavs are 18-3 and are currently on a nine-game winning streak.

They currently have the largest margin of victory in the NBA at 13.6 points. They usually build a monster lead and sit all their starters, hence LeBron's minutes being down six per game.

Check out Fear the Sword for Cavs stuff.

Things have been real quiet around here for the past week or so, but this is the last game on the schedule during finals, so Liberty Ballers should be rolling again this friday. 

I'm still trying to figure out how I can watch the game tonight. I have a monster paper due tomorrow (which I haven't started) and my last final to study for. Once I'm done I'll probably be doing this.

Good luck on your finals everyone and let's try to stay competitive tonight. That's all I'm asking for. On the bright side, back-to-back blow out losses could end Cheeks' stint in Philly. We'll see what happens. 

Let's go Sixers!

 

 

TV: ESPN

Record: 9-12

Prediction: 114-89 Cavs

No Delonte West

Sixers will still lose – Lebron will probaly still get to sit the entire fourth quarter

I was sick this weekend and unable to work on my web site and the final project is due tomorrow at midnight so i’ll probably not be paying that much attention anyway

by jemagee on Dec 10, 2008 8:14 AM PST reply actions  

I have a feeling

barely anyone will be paying attention to this one. I’ll probably tape it and have it on while I do my paper.

Why isn’t Delonte playing?! he’s on my fantasy team.

Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.

by Jordan Sams on Dec 10, 2008 10:38 AM PST up reply actions  

yea i have a big lit final tomorrow so i’ll be listening to it but not really paying attention.

On the bright side, back-to-back blow out losses could end Cheeks’ stint in Philly.

Or it may be enough for stefanski to enact his plan. Which may involve Cheeks but seeing as they just re-did his contract and extended him it will probably be player moves.

I don’t think getting beat back to back by cleveland is going to get cheeks fired – it’s arguably the best team in the east right now -

Delonte West hurt himself last night according to my fantasy roster before i dropped him – he isn’t making the trip to philly.

Two minor deals today – one potential ‘high reward low risk’ point guard has switched teams and is no longer on the memphis grizzlies.

The bobcats made a pretty stupid on the court trade, but with Larry Brown and MJ in charge is anyone surprised?

by jemagee on Dec 10, 2008 4:23 PM PST reply actions  

Delonte looks like he's playing.

Ric Bucher basically says

“LeBron, Iggy is owning you.”

LeBron says, “I’m guarding Andre Miller a lot of the time.”

loser

LeBron, although I didn't see who he was guarding most of the time.

He should’ve manned up.

The game will be on, just in case a miraculous comeback happens.

Recap might come later tonight. If not, starting tomorrow expect some write-ups and such, as I’ll officially have a month off of school.
