Game 13: Cavs vs. Orlando Magic 7:00 EST, FSO NBALP

The Cavaliers look to gain a victory after suffering through a four game losing streak. LeBron James has declared that the Cavs are in a "fragile state" and Cleveland fans and the rest of the NBA look to see if the Cavs can overcome adversity early in the season.

Carried by Fox Sports Ohio and NBA League Pass.

Keys to the Game:

1. Cavs play with intensity
2. Cavs limit turnovers
3. Play team defense with urgency
4. LeBron James plays like LeBron James
5. The bench contributes even the merest scintilla of support

Notes:
The Cavs have played terribly lately and that presages a strong effort [homer opinion of one King Stannis].

Very winnable game.

I don't think LeBron even needs to play like LeBron, he just needs to stop playing like Alonzo Gee.

Orlando doesn't have the lightning quick guard that we're incapable of stopping. Looks like a very clean match up. Hopefully Victo Oladipo doesn't wake up from his nightmare.

Hmmm... Oladipo and Payton are pretty quick, though.

Dipo is slow out the gates because he had very little time to get in rythm during training camp (knee injury on 3rd or 4th day of TC) and was expected to miss all the preseason games, was about to be activated to play the last one but prior to that game, during practice, he got his face smashed in and needed surgery - Enter the masked version of Dipo. So yes, he's very rusty. I missed the second half of the Heat game, but in the first half he was cutting and attacking, some crazy dunk attempts. He was fast, but yeah, still rusty. He's getting there.

EDIT: Hoping for a good game. Enjoy!

Blatt has to figure out the rotations.

Pretty much as a much of a must win as you can have at this point.

I hope this is a game where I won't get the urge to throw a beer bottle at my TV.

Good half. Love the movement and passing. Good efforts on the D side of the ball.
