Surely Stan Van Gundy was not pleased and after 3 days off they were able to come back home, get their heads back in focus and rout the Pacers 135-115. Next up, the Cavs, and they're comin' to OUR house. The Cavs have not been playing the rock solid brand of basketball we had been accustomed to seeing them play ever since they lost Delonte West (clearly an underrated piece to the puzzle out there in Cleveland). They slowed down over the course of their recent road trip and returned home to an unspectacular performance against the Kings. It was a perfect example of where they at right now, because Lebron and Mo both had massive games (Lebron triple double, Williams 43, 11 and 8) and they still only beat the Kings by 7 at home. Without Delonte or Z, they only have 2 consistent players on their team. They are running into the Magic at the wrong time and will pay the price. Love the fact that this is a national TV game, therefore drawing much more public betting and Cavs backers.
