Couple things to note.. Phoenix lost to the New York and are playing on the second night of a back to back.. But still, look forward to a high scoring game.. Another thing to keep in mind is since the Suns are a quick paced team, will Z finally break the record?

Just win. Go Cavs.

I actually think this is a game Shaq can win for us IF we feed him early and often. When he gets consistent touches he seems to have better rhythm on his shots and kick-out passes. And there is just no way Frye can guard Shaq 1 on 1. Phx will either have to concede easy layups or double which should open up the floor for James/Mo

Yes Shaq will give up some transition buckets and Frye will hit some 3's, but if we are drilling them inside overall it will be in our favor.

Hickson needs to step up this game also, he has dropped off the last couple games.

In addition, the only defense that the Suns have is their offense.

Also, I think Shaq may be extra motivated to beat the SUNS after some of the things their front office said about him after the trade to Cleveland.

CLE with prob the best 1st qtr I've seen them play in this one.

Z is playing well off the bench - trying to make a statement it seems.

That is probably the best first half of the season so far. Up by 28 against the Suns.

That one fast break was just beautiful

The Cavs are playing well, but man Phoenix is just playing like crap.

Yeah PHX is playing so bad it's hard to read too much into it. But our team looks great on offense and defense, you can see the potential of this team when healthy.

And we still haven't added Powe to the mix...

I see that the refs have decided to take a hand in this game with all the foul calls

It looks like the Suns are trying to get to the rim more.

Just bench LeBron in the 3rd quarters. This is ridiculous.

Frye putting up alot of points, but he truly is a meaninless player.

T on Varejao for yet another uncalled foul
