Cavaliers @ Bucks (ESPN2) <div align="center"> The King's Take Wow, are we in for a treat this game or what fellas? Both teams have been playing great basketball of late. I love that the cavs should finally have everybody playing, but those Bucks are a tough beat at home for anybody in this league. James, Boozer, Z, Williams, and Wagner will have to step it up as usual (wow, now that is talent!) while Redd will have to keep his hot hand and they will have to hope that Thomas shows up big in this one. I'll call Bucks by 3 because they are so good at home, but this Cavalier team is no pushover anymore (<font color="Green">Thank you Danny Ainge!)</font> <font size="1">Please visit NBA.com</font>
Nice Preview, I think Mike Redd will have a huge knight and go for 35, Lebron goes for 30...Bucks by 4
I say CAVS WIN this one by a few in a close game like by 8. Tim Thomas is hurt they said on espn last night he sprained hs ankle. So that means BOOZ can dominate (not like he already doesn't). Lebron will have a lets just say on night. Even though he had 27 against miami he shot 10/25 thats not that good, and Wagner ummmm can you say CLUTCH, MR.CLUTCH. He's playing very well. But all i got to say is CAVS WIN and are going to go to the PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!
The Bucks play great perimeter basketball. They are very much like the Sonics but tougher inside. Key is perimeter defense and defensive rebounds. Cavs got to run the ball every chance they get to get points. I still carry that good feeling about my Cavs and I'll wing it with a 5 point win prediction.
You have to go with the Bucks on this one,too good at home,too many shooters to contend in the packed bradley center.
James is the wild card. He has finally learned that no one on this league can stop him when he takes it to the basket. He must be content on shooting over 10 FT's a game IMO. I attack Redd all day long with LeBron early, esp. if Thomas is out, maybe we can get him in early foul trouble.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AllNet:</div><div class="quote_post">You have to go with the Bucks on this one,too good at home,too many shooters to contend in the packed bradley center.</div> Very true, Bucks play great home ball and Cavs play terrible road ball. But the Cavs have been doing a great job in team basketball that i feel we can overcome this losing road rage.
James needs to attack the baskt more and get Milwaukee's big men in foul trouble early on as they have no frontcourt depth. Cavs by 4.
I say Messias pulls another win out for the cavs with LeBron and boozer helping him. If Dwags gets more than 25min of mplaying time he'll play well and LBJ as usual is gonna play awesome. Boozer is gonna have his double double, and Dmase is gonna posterize someone today for sure. Im gonna say cavs by 7
I say the cavs by +5 i like every match up in the cavs favor. z should have a big game. We should dominate on rebounds, lebron should put a lock on timmy thomas. Eric Williams should keep michael redd in check because he is taller and a very excellent defender. Mcinnis has more expierence over T.J Ford but Ford is amazing.
What are u crazy Mr infante no offense or anything but the cavs have been playing very good road ball cavs win by 8 or something.
Great preview! I think McInnis keep the team together this game, and we beat those animals from Milwaukee!

The Bucks are a darn good basketball team and one of the best team at home period. Cavs can very well win this game too having everyone play together for the first time, but that can also create a problem too, goes both ways. Vegas has the Bucks by 6
lets get excited It is time for Cleveland fans to get excited. Team is finally bringing their chemistry together. they are starting to believe they can win. big change from early on i think they were growing acustom to losing. big trades made and silas is holding the fort down. the bucks are playing this team at the wrong time. playing to well right now. playoffs on the horizon????
edit <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Dmase is gonna posterize someone today for sure. Im gonna say cavs by 7</div> This is what I was talking about in the dunk contest thread. The average fan doesn't see Mason's all-around game. Instead, people see his leaping ability. Did you know that Desmond Mason, who averages more than thirteen points per game, has the highest field-goal shooting percentage on the Bucks for a non-Center? As for the game, I am favoring the Bucks by more than five points. Thomas may be out, but that only means more playing time for one of the most efficient players in the league, Dan Gadzuric. In eighteen minutes, Gadzuric is third in the league in blocks per forty-eight minutes, eighth in the league in rebounds per thirty-eight minutes, and ninth in the league in efficiency per forty-eight minutes. He could become the X-Factor of this game.
Without Thomas I think this game is pretty even right now. This will be Jeff's (McInnis) first big test in a big game on the road. He must take control of this team and keep them focused.
hmmm......could this be the possible battle for one of those very limited availablity eastern conference guard spots?
