Rip scores 24, however Clveland loses.
Although the analytics say that my trade Marshall, Hughes, Murray for Hamilton, McDyess, Delk was crap I am very satisfied with the new players. I needed a better under-basket-fighter, because Donny Marshall liked to play more outside. Hughes should have been a great shooter but he couldn't show his activity in the first 3 games. But now about the game... First quarter was dominated by new player Rip Hamilton and Lebron James, a lot of and1 plays. But now to the most interesting part the 4th quarter end. Down by 8, facing the loss, 1:25 to go. Lebron makes a steal and there he goes for the slam. Subtitions: Luke Jackson for Lebron James, Aleksandar Pavlovic for Rip. Don't know what the coach is thinking but let it be so. Anyway pavlovic made the key shot and ANdriusevicius'es AND1 took us to overtime. Overtime was dominated by NewYork guards: Stevie Franchise and Starbury. ANyway a good game and a nice debut for RIp, McDyess, Delk.
Mr. Clutchshot Martynas ANdriusevivius got injured but it won't cause him to miss any games:)
