After suffering only their 5th loss of the season, the Cavaliers play their first game of 2009 tonight against the Chicago Bulls at the Q.  Personally, I'm looking for the Wine and Gold to get back to waht they were doing in the beginning of the season, starting fast, jumping on teams and putting them away.  As of late, the Cavs have been starting slow, falling behind and trying to rally.  Against Miami, they were able to come back once, while losing the road game.

The Cavaliers have done a little bit of everything this season. They have won back-to-backs. They have swept the dreaded 4-games-in-5-nights, and they have swept a home and home with the 76ers earlier this year. They look to do it tonight, while stepping up their level of play, against the Heat.

I don't think this is what the NBA Schedule-makers had in mind when the decided to send the Washington Wizards to Cleveland for a Christmas Night meeting with the Cavaliers.  Three straight years the Cavs sent the Wiz home early in the playoffs, with each meeting becoming more and more heated.  Sounds like a great time, right? 

Not exactly.  Gilbert Arenas is earning every bit of that $100 million, having yet to play in a game this year, and Eddie Jordan has already been shown the door.  Something tells me the game won't be a walkover for the Wine and Gold, however.

The Houston Rockets might just be the best team to visit the Q this season thus far.  Luckily for the Cavaliers, they are at full strength now that Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Boobie Gibson are back from their injuries.  Should be a fun one!

Under normal circumstances the second game of a home and home is tough for the team that won the first game.  Add a couple of injuries and getting the sweep is tougher yet.  That is the take facing the Cavaliers as they begin life after Z, at least for the next few weeks.

Can the Cavs get that ellusive 10th win in a row??  They'll try tonight in the first game of a home and home with Philadelphia.  Elton Brand has missed the last two for Philly but vows to return tonight.

For the Cavaliers, Daniel Gibson will miss at least 2 weeks with a sprained big toe.  That will likely mean more minutes for Mo Williams, Delonte West and Sasha Pavlovic.
