A dangerous game tonight with the Kings who are without Bibby, Artest, Martin and Abdur-Rahim, but the Kings will come in and play without pressure and play hard.
They’re coming off a win at NY and can still score the ball. John Salmons and Francisco Garcia are having career years.
Larry Hughes is not making a big deal about his shooting effort the other night, but his stroke looked as good as I have seen it since he became a Cav...Pure.
LeBron thought it was a case of Larry not thinking, and just playing, letting it go without hesitation. What does go unnoticed though is what Larry brings as a floor leader and a defender. He’s a smart basketball player who again wants no credit for it, but does enjoy making the right decisions with the ball.
He also helped LeBron stay on the floor the other night when King James was smoked in the nose by Drew Gooden’s deflection. Larry immediately yelled “blood” which enabled athletic trainer, Max Benton to leap into action to stop the nose bleed before it became an issue. It’s a case of one teammate coming to the immediate aid of another, and recognizing the situation spontaneously.
LB shook his head when talking about all the abuse his face has been taking with shots to the mug. Maybe he still has that ST V-St M face mask laying around the house.
See you tonight on FSN…
