Leisure Suit Larry is back!


Well, we're up to game 4 of the 2007-2008 season, and "Leisure Suit Larry" Hughes is already out for at least this game due to a "knee injury." Big shocker. I think this man wakes up and gets hurt walking to the bathroom in the morning. At least one good thing came out of it...Sasha Pavlovic got the start, and played better than Hughes has so far this season. Not a big shocker.

On another note, Drew Gooden must really enjoy coming back to his hometown of Oakland and playing. It seems like every time we head out to play Golden State, Drew comes out and plays like a monster. Daniel Gibson played well again, shooting lights-out threes like he always does. Zydrunas Ilgauskas played excellent all night even though he didn't get a ton of minutes, and LeBron played like LeBron, ending up one assist shy of a triple-double. This was one of those highly entertaining games, where both teams traded baskets throughout the night. In the end, the Cavs pulled off the victory over the Warriors 108-104. Daniel Gibson hit the game-winning three with about 20 seconds to go, and the Cavaliers iced the victory with a few clutch free throws. A great game, and a great win for the Cavs to get them back to .500 on the season.

Well, tomorrow's another tough game against Carlos Boozer and his Utah Jazz. Tough place to play the 2nd game of a back-to-back, but hopefully the Cavs can come out and handle their business. I'll catch back up with you all late tomorrow night. (These 10:30 ET start times suck!)
