 Halftime in the league, allstar weekend is in the books and we have three teams fighting for the first place in the standings. As usual 3 teams in the East, the best conference in this league. What was one team's league last season we have now Celtics and Sixers with their green cards in hands to become NLL Elite. This is amazing time in this league when we don't know who can actuallly win this. The winner is not only in the hands of these three teams but we can see a big surprise from west side like Lakers and Kings or even from Eastern Conference New York or the try hard elite Indiana.However for now nobody can reach the amazing race between these 3 guys. Celtics gave them a chance these week to take the pole and claim themselves the king of the league at least for a while. Sixers and Cavs will battle in yet another GOTW. Sixers is all about winning. One month without losing a single game. Last time against Denver. The other 7 games were against Bulls, Hornets, Clippers, Jazz, Knicks and 2 against Cavs. They finally found their rhytym when they got a healthy starting lineup. This is how they beat Cavs in the long time ago first week. Time when half of the league were happy to realize we would not see that same terminator machine from last year. Sixers is now all over the Cavs with same record and one lost away C's. However Cleveland won last two games, both games without LMAand other pieces. But this is a big dog fight excuses are not welcome. To prove it Cleveland Cavaliers will play without LeBron James. Cleveland already proved the league they can play without him and even without Parker. Cavs without LeBron just lost one game against Toronto. Other 6 games they lost were against, Sixers, Lakers, Heat, Nuggets, Celtics and Kings. This week Meeks will come off the bench while Stuckey and Ross will start. SIGNATURE MATCHUPS  Drummond VS Noah This is a real big dog fight. Both guys have Bruiser which will kill each other fatigue for every rebound Both guys have tenacious rebounder and scrapper but Drummond has Hustle points, which is his advantage on the boards. Noah in other hand and will help his teammate more. He is a amazing post playmaker giving good assists for DeRozan threes. On D Noah has Defensive Anchor giving a boost on his teammates D Ibaka VS LMA Completely different styles. Ibaka is all about defensive with his Defensive Anchor, Tenacious Rebounder and his best signature Eraser. This signature will weight on Ibaka side if of course he blocks any shot in this game. LMA is a complete post player. He has Finisher and Dead Eye to avoid Ibaka defense. LMA will also play in out game with his post playmaking ability while his post proficient and his screen outlet makes him a complete postplayer. Ross VS Leonard Just one dunk and Ross can give his team a big boost. But this is all for Terrance Ross, Leonard seems to have more experience. He can posterize anyone and also gives a big boost to his team. On defense his active hands to steal the ball from shooters and his interceptor ability to steal any careless crossing pass. At last he is a corner specialist, which will come with a big boost from post playmakers LMA and Noah Stuckey VS DeRozan Stuckey is a good finisher, and will try to finish inside everytime he can. DeRozan is not only a finisher but he can finish over with an amazing dunk and givs his team a great boost. DeRozan can also create his own shots, giving Stuckey no chance on D Parker VS Lillard See Key players  |

| Fatigue! Cavs rotation will force their entire starting lineup to play the whole 4th quarter, Sixers in other hand will play 10 man rotation giving their starting lineup more resting time. Kirk Hirinch will lead the second unity and Sixers will probaly beat the Cavs in the last quarter because of it |
