Yeah, but im sure the guys are dead tired. I know the time difference and lack of sleep with affect them in games to come. So hope they can get it together before the start of the season. Anyways, look for the starters to play very few minutes and the bench to play most of the game like last game.

Throughout this whole preseason, they didn't play one road game on American soil...so they didn't really get a feel to what a hostile crowd feels like.

This has been a bittersweet trip. The Magic are doing great on the court, but lingering injuries off of it are reason for concern. Shard's ankle is still giving him problems, Ariza is watching as JJ takes his spot, and Dooling's injury might be severe.

I think we'll be fine, but it is a little weird to see Pat Garrity listed in the starting lineup for Saturday.

I was a big Garrity supporter. I hope he can somehow find his shot again that way he isnt a complete liability on the court! Just on the defensive end! :haha: :no:

Wow! What the heck is NBA doing? They 3 games in 3 nights? I though our guys will get at least 1 day off. Is David Stern trying to kill us?

Anyway, last night just a "light" game ....Nelson and Howard hardly played in that game. I think they should also just play sparingly tonight.  I am guessing SVG will not use either of them much tonight- save their legs for opening night.

It's actually 3 games in 4 days. For us, it's been 3 games in 3 days, but I don't think you're taking the time difference into consideration. In China, they had a game at 8 pm on Wednesday, 8 pm on Thursday, and now they are going to play at 12:30 pm on Saturday. So they get Friday off.

It's still a lot of games for just the preseason, but our team needs this. We need to get used to SVG's style of play.

Yeah. I got the timezones pretty mixed up. It isn't every preseason that we get games outside of the US.

Actually I think the game will be Sunday 12:30 pm in Macao. That is Saturday early morning in the US (ET). So they actually get 2 days off (Friday and Saturday).

Know I can see what they mean by "logistics" problem in case the NBA expands to Europe. :S

Gibson at the point rather than Damon Jones.

Howard, Turk, PG, Nelson, and Bogans starting.

Not a pregame tip-off without Zombine Nation. :D

Cavs win the tip.
Big Z GET REJECTED by Dwight, Big Z actually saves the ball from going out of bounds and we get a block on Bogans. :(
HUBIE CALLED IT RIGHT, BIG Z SHOULD'VE GOTTEN THE OFFENSIVE FOUL.
Big Z makes his first free throw as he's balder than ever now.
Cavs up 2-0 early off Ilgauskas' free throws.

Jameer, kind of forced a long jumper, miss, other way now as hughes makes a jumper, they're up 8-4.

Dwight with the spinning hook (lefty) on Big Z. :D Hubie with the massive props to Ewing.

Gibson drills a jumper. Cavs up 10-6.

8:30 left we've go the ball, Hedo misses a fadeaway on LeBron.
Hubie doesn't like what we're doing.

7:34 left 1st quarter as Jameer makes both free throws. 12-10 Cavs.

Dwight with a nice loose ball recovery. PG WITH THE JUMPER!!! 12-12

LeBron sneaks behind Keith on the backdoor lay-up. 14-12.

Kebo still can't make an entry pass, turnover.
Gibson drills a jumper with Kebo recovering in time to no avail.

SVG has an interesting black outfit tonight. :lol: No style points for him with the black jacket and black buttoned-collar shirt.

Jameer at the line again now, makes 1st, misses 2nd. 16-13 Cavs. 6:30 left.

Still no timeout, typing is a pain, lol.

Gibson with a tough 3-point shot off a Gooden pass out of a double team. 18-13 (Gibson only got a 2).

Dwight finally misses a shot (went glass)

Dwight pulled a point guard fast break as his pass to an open Hedo just barely gets deflected out of bounds. 5:45 left, Cavs up 18-13, timeout. We'll have the ball coming out of the break.

So far a lot of hustle from Dwight but Hubie has pointed out well that some of our guys aren't moving well on offense.

Keith can't do anything correct at the moment. :(

Hedo got hacked by LeBron (HUBIE IS CALLING HIM OUT?! WHAT THE F*CK, HE'S CALLING HIM A COMPLAINER), bounces off his foot. Out of bounds, Cavs ball.

PG is doing good on Gooden, IMO.

LeBron gets a friendly bound with a another jumper from the corner.

PG WITH THE JUMPER AS DWIGHT WITH THE ASSIST.
JJ in the game coming out of the timeout.

Cavs make another jumper (either Hughes, Gibson).

Hedo drives to the hole, goes to the line. 22-15 as we await Hedo's free throws.

Makes the 1st one. Brown is in for the Cavs. Hedo makes the 2nd, Magic down 22-17, 4:30 to go 1st quarter.

JJ on Hughes, hope he holds up.
Good challenge by Pat on Hughes as Larry goes to the line for 2 free throws.

JJ has to foul Brown or else that's an easy basket.

Shannon Brown makes the 1st free throw, and also the 2nd. 26-17 Cavs ahead again in the 1st quarter.
Don't know why we took out PG when Hedo should've been subbed out.

Dwight can't handle a tough pass from Jameer.
Jameer makes it up on D leading to a steal.

Jameer with a very nice setup for Dwight who would've dunked it had Dwight not had his arms dragged down by Brown (actually face-raped Dwight).

Dwight with 6 ponts, 2 boards, but now 0-2 from the line. :( Come on Dwight get this 2nd one in. Marshall in for the Cavs.
3:21 left as Dwight makes one finally. 26-18 Cavs

Brown just split JJ and Augustine. :(
LeBron finally misses a forced jumper, s**t, Marshall with the sideline save. :( Clock reset.
James knocks the ball out of LeBron's hands, timeout.
2:36 left, Cavs still up 26-18.

These commercials are quick as hell, lol, no typing relief here.

Arroyo in for Jameer as Keith is now our SF with JJ, Dwight and James on the court.
Damon Jones in, shot clock violation for the Cavs.

JESUS ARROYO GIVE IT UP.
KEITH CAN'T DRIBBLE WORTH s**t YET ALMOST MAKES A MIRACLE SHOT UNDERNEATH THE BASKET.

LeBron as he's losing the ball takes an insane turnaround jumper, just misses.
Who is #27 he's been in the game a while? Thomas?

Dwight at the line as #27 with the loose ball foul (in the penalty). 26-18 still.
Dwight gets the 1st to go down.
How is Ira Newble still in the league, lol.
Dwight just misses the 2nd (in and out). 26-19 Cavs 1:45 to go.

f**k YOU CHUCK, f**k YOU, 3 on 2 and he gets blocked by Brown (who he himself tried to split 3 guys and lost the ball).
Brown barely gets touched by Dwight yet the refs call the foul on Dwight.

REFS ARE PISSIN' ME THE f**k OFF, NOT AS BAD AS ARROYO RIGHT NOW.

Brown makes the 1st free throw. PG IN AS HE'S A PERFECT 2 FOR 2, Dwight with the breather.
Brown with the 2nd. 28-19 Cavs. :(

PAT WITH ANOTHER JUMPER, ASSIST FROM JJ, ADONAL ALSO JUST CAME IN.

35 seconds left.

WOW, HOW DO YOU NOT CALL A FOUL ON THAT, EITHER GIVE JJ THE FOUL OR THE CHARGE.
Adonal with him pausing 2 seconds waiting for an obvious whistle, gets a 3 in his face by Brown.

JJ DRILLS A 3 AT THE BUZZER ON BROWN. :D 31-23 Cavs up at the end of the 1st quarter.
