Yup. I agree Sandra.

1. This is great news. I have not heard this. If D-West is able to come back from a broken wrist in 2-3 weeks, he's tough as nails! I just hope there won't be many lingering side effects once he comes back. Delonte isn't your typical statue shooting guard. D-West is a scrappy player. He gets long rebounds, dives on the floor for loose balls and has blanket defense. If he's anything less than 100%, this will effect his game.

2. You are correct. The fact this injury happened to his non-shooting hand was the only small consolation.

Good teams do not need home court or home field....the NFL just proved that.

...in the NFL. 14-1 series record for the NBA home teams last year says it all. Doesn't matter what happened in baseball or hockey either.

14-1 in the NBA.


Sandra

Very true...like I said, only 5 #1 seeds have won it all in the last 12 years. #1 seeds have home court through out the playoffs. THAT is self explanitory.

Sounds like the Celtics got lucky last year!!!


Sandra

Oh Jeez.....apparently! I mean you think they got lucky because they were at home. The whole reason they extended the openning series is so the higher seed can advance.

Cavs now 20-0 at home.

BTW, those uniforms that the New Orleans Hornets wore- good GOD, those are awful unis!

The announcers confirmed before tonight's game that Delonte will be out for 4-6 weeks.

20-0 at home. The Cavs are now a perfect 7-0 on games following a loss. 11-1 against teams in the West.

I will go on to call this game the biggest win of the season. Here's why:

-The Cavs were on the second game of a back-to-back.
-They were coming off a tough OT loss in Chicago.
-Their plane in Chicago was delayed while it had to be de-iced. The team didn't get back to Cleveland until 5am.
-We were short handed without two starters (Delonte and Zydrunas Ilgauskas).
-This was the last home game before we go on a 5 game road trip out West.
-The Hornets beat the Cavs once already in the 3rd game of the season.
-The roll players had to step up in the absence of the injured players. Sasha Pavlovic (17pts) and Wally Szczerbiak (14pts) certainly responded.

But more than anything, beating a quality opponent in Chris Paul, David West and the Hornets was perfect for the psyche of this team. All teams go through adversity throughout the season and this is our turn. Claiming a "curse" or referencing other past Cleveland sports disappointments to what's going on with the Cavs right now was not right of me to say earlier this morning. That's an excuse. Not a reason. I won't accept that and I don't expect my team to either.

This is still a strong team, led by a strong leader. I love that this team responded handedly in the face of adversity. Go Cavaliers!!!!

Next up: Cavs @ Lakers- Monday Jan. 19th. 10:30pm et.
