Cleveland lost another one on this long Western road trip. They have now lost 3 straight. They were blown out of this game, but they got back in the fourth quarter and cut it to 5 with a few minutes too. But Denver woke up and put the game away at the end. Cavs helped them with a few missed free throws. Lebron had a scary fall in the 4-th quarter. His leg got caught under a falling Denver player and it looked like he either twisted his ankle or the knee or both. Luckily for the Cavs and the fans, he came back and looked OK. Lebron got his first triple double of the season with 30-10-10. Camby was too good with 26-17. The Cavs goto Golden State tomorrow to face a team and a fan-base that would be welcoming Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson. Could be another blowout loss for Cavs.
Washington blew out Orlando. I guess Washington is for real at least in the West. Arenas had a 30-7-6 night and if he plays like that every night, the Wizards will be tough to stop. New Jersey scored a close win in New York. New York erased a 10 point lead or so in the last couple of minutes and went ahead on a David Lee put-back. But the Nets came right back with Uncle Cliffy's put-back of a Vinsanity miss. Apparently Isiah burnt all the timeouts before the last possession for the second straight game. I am sure he is getting roasted over the coal by the New Yorkers for that.
Suns won their 12-th straight behind Nash's clutch, long jumpers and 15 assists. He was not too happy that they had so much difficulty against the lowly Blazers. Miami won again in OT against Phily. Heat might be back even before Shaq gets back. There was also an ugly brawl between KG and McDyess in the Det-Minn game. Dice knocked Mark Madsen down and KG retaliated by throwing the ball at Dice. KG looked good until this point, but then he started retreating as Dice approached him with a clenched fist. Both players got ejected and no real punches were thrown. Detroit won the game in double overtime as C-Webb started and had 16 points to go with Chauncey's 25 and Rip's 26.
Cleveland @ Denver - 99-110
Washington @ Orlando - 114-93
New Jersey @ New York - 101-100
Interesting games on the board for the Jan 20-th (Saturday)
Denver @ Houston - AI V T-Mac. Should be a good one.
Utah @ Chicago - Utah will try to beat a good team on the road. Mehmet Okur is on fire right now.
Cleveland @ Golden State - New players (and a lot of ebergy) for the Warriors and a losing streak for the Cavs at the end of a long road trip. Could be a tough one for the Cavs.
