LeBron's status unknown, Daniel Gibson returns

LeBron James is being labeled a 'Game-Time' decision by Mike Brown for tonight's matchup with the Spurs at The Q. James missed Saturday's game in Milwaukee in what was described as a "Coach's Decision', though watching LeBron try and walk on his tender right ankle every time the camera panned to him during the telecast it had to be an easy 'decision' to make.

In a bit of good news, Daniel Gibson has returned to the team after missing 4 games due to the birth of his first child. It should be a welcome sight with Mo Williams really struggling.

Since scoring 22 points at Toronto on Feb. 26, Williams has made just 13 of 46 shots (28.2 percent), including 6 of 23 3-pointers (26 percent.) The slump hit its nadir in Saturday's 92-85 loss at Milwaukee, where Williams, a former Buck, made just 3 of 17 shots, including 1 of 7 3-pointers.

Gibson has been solid all year and I hope he gets some burn tonight.

It’s about time Gibson is back. Bench Mo Williams until he gets his mind right, or his shoulder right, whichever is the cause of his problem. Start Delonte at the point and make Boobie the first guard off the bench.

I like the idea of starting Boobie (along with LeBron), and having Delonte (who is better) be a spark off the bench, who can often make his own plays, where as Boobie is more effective with LeBron drawing a crowd.

I do agree, we should make Mo Williams earn his spot back in the rotation. Until he can show us that he’s back to 100% mentally and physically.

I haven’t been able to watch the games/follow the Cavs lately sooo… what’s going on with Mo exactly?

His shooting percentage has dropped off a lot since coming back, and opposing PGs have been posting career days against him (defense dropped too).

He hasn’t been himself all around.

Ugh. Hopefully he’ll get it together soon.

one thing i like about boobie is that he is always confident, last year he was bad often, didnt matter, he kept shooting. there is no hesitation on boobie’s shot, whether it is right or wrong.
