*Game Notes*​

· Cleveland has won six of the last eight games against Portland. The Cavaliers won their first game this season 84-83 at the Rose Garden as LeBron James scored a game-high 37 points including making the game-winning layup.

· With a win tonight, Cleveland would tie its season best winning streak at The Q of six games (12/25/07 – 1/23/08).

· LeBron James has scored at least 37 points in each of his last four games. Over that stretch, he has averaged 41.0 points on .500 shooting, 7.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.

· The Cavaliers are 16-12 against Western Conference opponents this season, which marks the third-best record in the Eastern Conference against the west.

· Anderson Varejao recorded a 15-point, 16-rebound double-double versus Indiana on Saturday. He also added a career-high six assists and career-high tying four steals. In his 13 career double-doubles, the Cavs are 12-1.

· LeBron James has scored 25 or more points in 21 straight games and 20 or more in 39 straight games. With 25 or more points tonight, James would have the longest stretch of games with 25 or more points since Allen Iverson’s stretch of 27 straight games from Jan. 12 – March 9, 2001.

· The Cavaliers grabbed a season-high 23 offensive rebounds against Indiana on Saturday. Cleveland is ranked third in the league in offensive rebounds per game (13.1).

Where the hell are the girls? WTF Ben????????

The Blazers are a fun team to watch, and it'll be interesting to see if Oden still has the frohawk.

One more game which we need to win...I heard that Sasha is coming back this week and i think Wally must play few big games in next 2 weeks and show that he deserve his spot in this team...

Portland are running out of hope of making the playoffs. Hopefully we can place another nail into the coffin.

Must continue winnning at home.

Yes I think Wally needs to catch fire soon with Sasha getting close. I'm expecting it to happen any time now - his track record says he doesn't stay down long.

[KinGLJ23]

Austin Carr : "Lebron James Is The MVP Of This League" seems like Austin is is going directly to what he thinks without hesitation...I Love It!

 

[Thomas#8]

Would be better if we had sasha to guard Brandon Roy... If we can shut him down, we'll win.

[redscoon]

Wallace, AV, and Devin all starting against a good team is still a horrible idea.

 

[Wally World]
