Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers, Feb 11, 2010 7:00 PM CST
2009/2010 NBA Regular Season
VS
36-17 42-11
February 11, 2010
Quicken Loans Arena
8:00 PM et
Radio - WTAM 1100 / TNT
Probable starters:
Jameer Nelson
PG
Daniel Gibson
Vince Carter
SG
Anthony Parker
Matt Barnes
SF
LeBron James
Rashard Lewis
PF
J.J. Hickson
Dwight Howard
C
Shaquille O'Neal
The Cavaliers have won 12 straight. They have the best home record in the NBA. They are charging towards another 60-win season. It all matters little if they keep playing they way they have the past 7 quarters. After jumping out to a 20-point lead after the first quarter against the Knicks, the Cavaliers have been lack-luster to say the least. After holding on against the Knicks, the Cavaliers were forced to play LeBron James 42 minutes against a 4-win New Jersey team. Not the way you want to be playing with the Orlando Magic coming to town.
The Magic are red-hot again after going through a mid-season speed bump. After come-from-behind wins over Boston and New Orleans, the Magic crushed the Bulls by 20 last night in Chicago. They are playing very good basketball and will likely be using this game against the Cavaliers as a bit of a measuring stick as the NBA heads into the All-Star Break.
A bit of good news for the Wine and Gold - Delonte West has been activated and will play - though Daniel Gibson will continue to be in the starting lineup.
3-in the Key
1. The Cavaliers are tied for their best 53-game start in team history(42-11) with last season's squad. They also have the NBA's best point-differential at +7.4. The Cavaliers are 27-4 in their last 31-games, best in the NBA.
2. A win tonight would tie the franchise record of 13-straight wins set last season.
3. The Cavaliers defeated the Magic 102-93 in their only meeting so far this season(11/11). It was the biggest loss the Magic have seen this season at home.

This should be a statement game. The statement should begin and end with “this isn’t last year” and " no, you won’t be in the finals this year."
I'm Polish...what's your excuse?
and then Dwight Howard wont shake hands....

It Was Bad Karma To Give Z
his own puppet caricature. Since that commercial aired, things have precipitously gone downhill for the Cavs

the announcers are right...
we need Lebron to play well if we are going to win, so far he hasnt. Lebron must step it up like the King he is!
We know one thing for sure...
Anthony Parker will keep shooting.
