*Defense has been horrendous lately.
*Playing against the Bobcats(Wednesday Night)
Cleveland Cavalier Notes
*Just got off a 3 game Road Trip and went 1-2.
*7-1 at home games this year.
*Another ESPN Game, which we don't always do good in.
Slim Sheedy's Keys
1. ESPN. Forget that it's an ESPN game, since our record ain't great. This is a crtical game since we have a few central division games coming up.
2. Leadership. Eric Snow needs to continue leading the team as a player and a captain. He was real good against Sacramento and he has to keep it up.
3. Big Z. Z needs to start off early simply because he has a good advantage against Krstic. Get him a few buckets early and for the whole game he should be a difference maker.
4. Containment. New Jersey is a team that loves to run with Kidd, Jefferson, Carter running the floor so we gotta stay with them in the running game and contain the explosive Trio.
Players to Watch
Larry Hughes-Vince Carter

**The Outcome**
It'll be a real sloppy game, but both teams have the fire power to score a lot. If we don't contain the Big 3 of NJN than we can forget about this game. We Also got to worry about Cliff Robinson he has a history of hitting big 3's against many teams in the NBA. So basically what you will get Friday Night is a sloppy high scoring game with a bunch of highlights and top play nominees. Cavs win in a high scoring/sloppy game.
