TEAMS: Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat
Wait, we’re not tired of the “taking my [blank] to [blank]” jokes yet, are we?
The struggling Cleveland Cavaliers (6-9) must go to Miami where they will face the reigning Eastern Conference Champion Heat (11-5).
In some ways, both teams are having similar starts to their seasons as they had last year. The Cavaliers started off showing some spunk, winning games here and there, threatening the .500 mark, before the wheels came off.
The Heat started off better this year than they did last year, but they come limping into their first game with Cleveland, a team not exactly having things go as smoothly as they had hoped.
Of course, we all remember what happened in last year’s December 2nd matchup. The Heat sparked their season back into form and never looked back. The Cavaliers never looked back either. They just allowed defeat into their hearts and went on to set an NBA record losing streak.

LeBron James Tells Reporters He Doesn't Know What 'Clunker' Means
LeBron James seems like a bright guy, despite never going to college. He even joked about it at a news conference back when he was with the Cavaliers. James pled ignorance, though, when asked if Sunday's 91-82 loss to the middling Bucks qualified as a "clunker." "I don't even know what that means," James said, according to FOX Sports.

The Big Three Concept Is Overrated
I’m tired of “Big 3′s”. Not just the concept, but also the term.

The Cavaliers Have To Stop The Turnovers Tonight Against New York

The Cavs have been guilty of turning the ball over and making bad decisions passing the ball. Tonight if Cleveland is going to win against the New York Knicks they simply have to stop making mistakes. Sure the Cavaliers are a young team with Rookies Kyrie Irving and Tristan...

Bosh made 10 of 16 shots and reached the 30-point mark for the fourth time this season for Miami, which improved to 4-1 against Cleveland since James joined the Heat.
HEAT HOLD ON AGAINST PISTONS
Back-to-backs. In this hurried 66 game NBA season, teams are being forced to play games on back-to-back nights much more frequently than during a normal 82 game season. Miami, like many teams, has struggled in the second game of these BTB’s this year, including a loss to Milwaukee just a few days ago. On this Wednesday night in Detroit, it looked for a moment like the...
