Key Stats:

The Cavs have had a bad habit this season of coming out of the gates without much effort and waiting until the third quarter to make a run. Will we see that happen again tonight?

Average Point Differential Against Same Teams (Philadelphia, Memphis, Indiana):
Cavs: +11.8
Jazz: +19.7


This will be a tough game, though it helps that we're at home. Let's extend this to a 7 game winning streak! Go Cavs!

Should be a good game. We're an average offensive team at best, but on pace to being a historically great defensive team. Cleveland is far more balanced obviously. Anyways, should be a tight game. Here's hoping to great game and no injuries!

I agree completely. Winning regular season games is nice, but staying healthy is the first priority. I actually think you guys win this one (hope I'm wrong obviously lol). The Jazz seem to have LeBron's number, and if we wait until the third quarter to start trying like we've been doing all season, we don't have a chance because Utah is too good defensively to let up those types of runs.

Let's get an active game thread here, guys. Calling all Cavs fans.

I would love to be on but my wife wants me to take her out to watch the game. Go Cavs. Keep up the good work though.

That's alright man. You can post your post game thoughts.

I love TT. But this isn't a game you want to go small against. Gobert kills smaller bigs. TT can't stretch the floor to keep him away from the basket. We need to use moz more.

Agreed. I'm nervous about this game. Utah's frontcourt scares me. Hopefully the team doesn't underestimate the Jazz and take all the way until the third quarter to start playing hard.

They might sound like jbk1234 like Sierra Nevada a little too much.

I'm checking in! I'm at work but getting off at seven! Both are good defensive team and right now Utah is the best at holding teams to 85ppg avr.. But Cavs Defense holding teams to 92. Cavs are dangerous offensively so let see what happens. This should be a good game.

I won't be home until well into the second half, but I'll be toggling between here and RCF.

We got now 11 post and outlaw hasn't posted yet! Has to be a record!

Nice to see JR back in the lineup. Let's get this W.

What a play from JR to Mo!

Nice to have JR back

Suffocating defense. I think LeBron's gonna have a tough time tonight.

LeBron very lackadaisical so far

LeBron!

So far, LeBron has been our own worse enemy

Ugh. Mozgov with the boneheaded play there.
