I wouldn't be all that surprised if we drop tonight and the next 3. Horrible part of the season to have these injury problems. Pavs is going to have to play all the way to his potential if they are going to win over the next few weeks. Time for Lebron and Mo to take over starting tomorrow.

Missing 3/5 of the starting lineup and LeBron having one of the worst games of his career? They were lucky in a way to get to overtime.

Despite all of that, it took some serious home cookin' by the refs (along with some bad bounces for the Cavs) to keep the Bulls in the game at the end of regulation.

Cleveland Cavaliers face dilemma as trade deadline approaches - Chris Mannix - SI.com

You could make a rather convincing argument that the Cavaliers are the deepest team in the NBA despite the fact that they may end up with only one All-Star selection. But that's not all that makes rival coaches and general managers nervous. No, what's really scary to them is how good Cleveland (30-6 through Wednesday) could be.
With the Feb. 19 trade deadline five weeks away, the Cavs possess two enormously attractive assets in swingman Wally Szczerbiak (who is being paid $13 million this season in the last year of his contract) and forward-center Ben Wallace (who has one year and $14 million remaining on his contract after this season). That is $27 million in salaries that expire before the anticipated summer of 2010, when a free-agent bonanza is expected to hit the market.
Those assets put the Cavs in position to significantly upgrade an already impressive roster and, with the right move, position themselves as the clear favorite to win the NBA title this season and perhaps in 2009-2010, too.

That same article goes on to name three trade targets for the Cavs: Michael Redd, Vince Carter and Earl Watson.

My take:

Redd: HELL YEAH!!!
Carter: Pass.
Watson: meh.

I've read recently where the name Marcus Camby was brought up. The talk was Wally and a first for Camby. The Clips always want money. I would rather see Camby than anyone else . His defense and 14 boards would make them unbeatable in the playoffs.

i think wally and a 1st for camby isn't a bad deal. however, with west on the shelf for close to 2 months, that could change the dynamic a bit.
