Operation Wiggins is in for a challenge in this one. The Cavs suck pretty damn bad.

But with Commander D'Antoni I still have faith!

Play well for the first half.

Play hard in the second but you suck unintentionally to see the lead wiped out.

But I am not sure who will do that.

If tanking is in the mind, this will be a hilariously turnover-prone game from both sides.

Compared to Mr. Brown who has more talent available, playing against weaker teams in the East, and still has a worse record?

Maybe one can be an assistant to the other on their next coaching jobs.

I'm going to grab some Popcorn and a beer, Play the Harlem Globetrotter theme song and the Benny Hill theme song, and laugh at the shenanigans that will unfold during that game.

I'm taking bets as to which player will shoot at the wrong basket or walk the ball inbounds ala Lamar Odom.

I'm more concerned with Cleveland actually out-tanking us. Why? Because I have a sneaking suspicion that Dan Gilbert was the eastern conference exec that told Ken Berger that "everyone knows that Kevin Love wants to be a Laker" last week. Gilbert will do everything in his power to see to it that we don't get a young star.

Don't think we are in danger of winning this one. Irving is going to go off for 80 against our defense. Deng will top that off with another 45.

Cleveland definitely has more stars & is the more talented team. But maybe, just maybe the Lakers will overachieve.

Given the paint non-protection of the Lakers, I would even bet on a big scoring night for Thompson and/of Varejao, even though they are defensive.
And, what the hell, even Bennett can score his 15 points

He's got a bum knee playing on the front end of a back-to-back, he went 3-14 tonight for 7pts. Hope he throws up more bricks and builds the great wall of staples tomorrow night.
