the real question to this game is: do we have anyone capable of guarding lebron with the cast that we have since it has always been shane who had this task? I'm just going to hope he has an off-game tonight. let's get this, Rockets!
At least the refs are okay. Martin needs to get Wade in foul trouble so Lee can try to contain Lebron. If he can't, I hope RA will use Mike Harris because Budinger cannot guard him. Maybe put Hayes on Lebron and have Patterson / Hill as center.
This is a pretty significant game, Shane Battier was in on our last game, but now we have pat pat and Courtney playing very well, I think this is where you really see the difference. oops, also Dragic instead of AB.
Scola will have to play big in this game and grab a ton of rebounds. Chuck will take care of Bosh. Please, Rick, don't give Jordan significant minutes. He can't handle it yet.
keep winning is all im asking. they've done really well with me not entering the game threads so ima keep out.
Maybe we dont have anyone who will guard Lebron quite as good as Battier would have, but who ever does guard him is likely to score more than Battier would have. Last time around, Lebron scored 20 and Battier 5. A net -15. If the guy we put on him tonight scores a modest 12, Lebron would have to get more than 27 for things to be worse. Also, Wade is the dude we need to slow down. He took us for 45 pts last time.
Anyone watching courtside: http://www.nba.com/live20/index.html Courtney Lee is making every shot!! Crazy. PPat can't make a hook, and Goran's three point shooting is not very good.
No, every once in a while NBA.com will do something one-off like this. Scola shoots inside his range, but he's higher percentage than any of the other guy's so far (probably until Kmart comes out). Chase was shooting and Jordan came out and immediately started defending him lol.
