Keys to the Game
* Larry Hughes needs to be more productive offensively. He has been streaky as of late, and it is important for him to be able to get into an offensive groove. With out LeBron James out there, we are going to need Larry to come out and earn that paycheck.
* Continue to push Mike Wilks and see what he is made of. Give the kid more minutes to see what he can produce. He has done a solid job last night vs the Sixers.
* Test the rookie, Andrew Bogut. The Cavaliers can establish the game early by attacking the paint.
Overview : Isn't it amazing how much improved this roster is? Even with out LeBron James, the Cavaliers are still pretty good offensively. The additions of Damon Jones and Donyell Marshall has made it easier for the Cavaliers to keep the scores tight and not fall into a big drought like we have done many times last season.
The game is obviously winnable. The Milwaukee Bucks aren't a very great defensive team, if we establish the paint early and not fall into double digit margines, the Cavaliers should pick up their 3rd win of the preseason.
