LeBron James said he was sore after yesterday's practice but was not experiencing pain. Shawn Marion said he will go tonight #SunsVsCavs

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro

LeBron James said he's "a little sore, a little tight" today & is a game-time decision for #SunsVsCavs. Said he got back from Texas @ 12:30.

We have lost 11 straight vs LeBron James led teams.

This is our best chance to end that streak, Cleveland has not looked very good this season (with and without LeBron) despite all the hype.

LeBron James is fully expected to return to Cavs tonight, coach David Blatt says. James has not played since Dec. 28.

Cavs coach David Blatt says LeBron's minutes will be in the low 30s - "if that" - tonight at Phoenix.

So, will we have a sellout tonight?

 

[Ronin]

nice steal.

 

[82CardsGrad]

How many TO's does Bledsoe have already??? Geeeeez...

 

[82CardsGrad]

Keef and Len having a great first quarter!

 

[Zobaczcie suki]

Kieff!

 

[Zobaczcie suki]

Nice first Quarter.

Man, I like what I am seeing from Brandon Wright. Making a difference on D, and grabbing a low alley oop pass, but still jamming it. This may turn out to be a great acquisition.

But the dude is extremely nondescript looking.

 

[AfroSuns]

With Wright playing like this Plumlee is done unless he picks up his game

 

[Zobaczcie suki]

Wow Tucker. I guess that's what Lebron gets for those earlier phantom foul calls

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

LeBron goes down like a soccer player.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Can't believe how Lebron was shoving aside his coach! WTF is that ish??

 

[AfroSuns]

I wondered about that too, but it tells you who runs that team

 

[Proteus]

Pretty good 1st half by the Suns but it seems like they should be up more. Suns are up 59-51 at the half.

I really believe he was just trying to prevent him from getting tee'd up.

1 w/ 3:29 left in the 3rd

Geez. Awful ending to the 3rd quarter by the Suns.

 

[sunsfan88]

What a disastrous end to the QTR.

WOW.

 

[AfroSuns]

This would be crazy if Suns lose this game

 

[sunsfan88]

Markieff is just dominating right now and he's getting no help.

 

[AfroSuns]

WTH is Eddie talking about complaining about Alex hanging around the rim to try to steal a rebound..i couldn't have disagreed more.
