Notes:
-Looks like LeBron and Varejao are going to play, but Delonte will sit with back spasms. I like resting Delonte; he hasn’t looked like himself in the past two games. Also, Boobie should play!
-This game is very important for the Raptors, who are clinging to the final playoff spot in the East. This game means nothing at all to the Cavs. I’d like to see them take care of business so that they can stay sharp. Also, I’d rather see the Bulls than the Raptors in the playoffs, personally.
-Chris Bosh will test Andy in his first game back. That much we know.
-Alright, open thread. See you after the game.
Oh yeah, and why is Ben Wallace suddenly awesome at basketball (8-10, 2-2 at the line for 18 points, 4 Orebs, 3 ast, 3 stl)?
31 assists on 35 made field goals? I like! I like!
Time to sit LeBron. Nothing to prove in the 2nd half…just need to keep him in game shape, and the full first half was enough.
If Hickson’s defense doesn’t worry you people, nothing will.
Anyway, sit LeBron. He took a pretty hard foul to the chest at the end of the of half..no need for him to be out there.
Did anyone notice the snap pass LeBron threw Varejao when he was under the basket? That thing had some mustard on it! Didn’t know a basketball could be tossed like that with one hand.
