A double-dip of NBA action on the Leader tonight as the Cavs and Bulls lace it up in Game 1 and the Warriors and Nuggets battle in Game 2. For Cleveland, many people have them heading to the NBA Finals this year, but if LeBron keeps up what he's been doing, that isn't real likely to happen. So far James is averaging only 22 points a game and has yet to hit a 3-pointer all year (he's 0 for 11). But I wouldn't expect that to happen for much longer. On the plus side, free agent pickup Mo Williams has been steady to start the season.
Meanwhile, the Bulls are led by phenom point guard, and #1 pick of the 2008 Draft, Derrick Rose. Rose will have his ups and downs this year, but he's already been a bit of surprise in terms of scoring. Through 4 games so far he's averaging more than 17 per. However, he's turning the ball over way too much.
That said though, tonight's first game offers the chance to watch two #1 draft picks who have limitless ceilings go at each other, which always makes for good TV. Right now, 85% of FanIQ is going with the Cavs.
As for the second game, which features the Nuggets and Warriors, you unfortunately won't be able to see Chauncey Billups at the helm just yet. So really just watch this game to see the Warriors and Nuggets play horrible defense and score at least a combined 240 points. 56% of FanIQ is going with the Nuggets in this one.
Feel free to chat up the night's games here, or on the individual game pages.
Love. Too bad we never got the Gay-Love era in Memphis.
