Lebron James took over the game in the fourth quarter to put the Magic Away. He had 19 points just in the fourth quarter to end up with 32 points for the game. Great game for King James and a great win for the Cavs. Unfortunately, he can't do it day in and day out. He does need help and finally Steve Kerr agreed with me in an article about this matter today. Not sure why Larry Hughes is not more productive. It seems like he has taken a step back from last year. The real blow for the Cavs is still the Carlos Boozer loss. They have still not recovered form it and Boozer would have been the ideal big-bodied side-kick for King James. The Z-man is great, but may be not the best fit for Lebron and Drew Gooden is just not good enough or consistent enough. Time to make some trades or some people might lose their jobs again in Cleveland. Expectations are high when you have the King on your roster.
The Warriors added a lot of injury to the insult of losing to the Heat. Monta Ellis injured his shoulder and we don't know yet how bad that injury is. Pietrus is also injured. Murphy is already out and J-Rich is barely coming back from his injury. This team needs to get healthy soon or they'll become irrelevant again. Baron Davis had a bad game and the Heat beat them easily. Speaking of injuries, Yao Ming fractured a bone in his knee and is now out for 6 weeks. This is a crushing blow to the Rockets just like what happened last season when both Yao and Tracy missed a lot of games. Without Yao, the Clips beat them today and the Rockets will lose of lot of games like this without those 2. This is bad for Yao (and the league) since he was having a monster season (27 pts and 9 boards) and is fast becoming a super-star in this league. Nets lost Nenad Krstic, another big guy having a good season, for the season.
Orlando @ Cleveland - 83-86
Golden State @ Miami - 92-105
Interesting games on the board for tomorrow, the Dec 24-th (Sunday)
NO GAMES.
Interesting games on the board for the Dec 25-th (Monday)
LA Lakers @ Miami - No Shaq means a little less fun, but apparently the tickets for this game are still going for 3.5 Gs. I am surprised, but I guess you still got the Christmas day hype, you got Kobe, you got D-Wade and you got the big name coaches. I think the Lakers can win this one easily though.
