ChicagoCavFan's Game Notes
1). Philadelphia plays New Orleans/Oklahoma City tonight (Tuesday) in Philadelphia, then travels to Cleveland for Wednesday night's game. They are severly undermanned. In Sunday's loss to San Antonio, Philly really only played 7 guys. Kevin Ollie and Rodney Carney were the 8th and 9th players off the bench, but combined for only 7 total minutes (4 and 3 respectively).
2). This game SHOULD be a win for the Cavs. Eric SHOULD be able to contain Andre Miller, who has taken the leadership role for the 6ers. This is also a home game for us, where we SHOULD expect to win every time - I believe we have won 26 of the last 30 home games, including Monday night's loss. We also play Philly again at their house on Friday night, on ESPN.
3). The Cavaliers have won back-to-back games against the 76ers with both wins coming at home. Cleveland has won those games by an average of 23 points per game.
· Over his last eight games against the 76ers, LeBron James has averaged 31.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game. He put up a double-double of 25 points and 11 assists in Cleveland’s game against Philadelphia earlier this season (Nov. 25).
· The Cavs and 76ers play back-to-back games tonight and Friday in Philadelphia. It marks the only time this season Cleveland plays the same team in consecutive games.
· In the first game against Philadelphia this season, Zydrunas Ilgauskas posted 18 points and grabbed a season-high 15 rebounds.
· In his past seven games against the 76ers, Larry Hughes has averaged 25.0 points on .477 shooting and 6.6 rebounds per game. In two games against Philadelphia as a member of the Cavaliers, he has averaged 23.5 points in two games.
· Damon Jones leads the NBA in most three-pointers made by a reserve with 74. He has connected on at least two three-pointers in nine of the last 11 games.
· Of all players in the NBA that have started five games or less, Anderson Varejao leads that group in rebounds at 6.2 per game. He has grabbed at least six rebounds in seven of his last eight games.
Prediction
Cavs - 104
Sixers - 92
GOCAVS !!
