It's pretty simple, really. Win tonight and the Cavaliers clinch home court advantage for every playoff series they play this year. That, and the memories of the final 5 seconds the last time these two team met in Indy should provide the Cavaliers all the motivation they need.

While the East has been settled, expect these two Title contenders to play like there is something more than pride on the line. The Cavaliers want to go into the playoffs playing well while the Celtics are trying to keep the Cavs from tying a hallowed team record.

Their win streak was snapped last night, now the Cavs must travel to Orlando to face the Magic. Another place where the Cavs have had a tough time winning. Let's hope they get a win or things could start to get very interesting in terms of the #1 Seed.

The Cavaliers go for win #14 in a row as the head to the Nation's Capital to face the Wizards on TNT. Just throw the records out when these two teams play. Washington has beaten Cleveland 3 straight times at home, 7 of 8 overall.

Something about a Cavs-Pistons first round series just doesn't sit well with me. I'd rather send them home in mid-April instead of trying at the end of the month.

After getting embarrassed by the Cavaliers the last time the two teams played, I am looking for the Pistons to play alot harder tonight.
