Cavaliers find themselves in a must win game tonight as they take on the Milwaukee Bucks. The Cavs find themselves 2.5 games back of the Detroit Pistons and this is a good opportunity to gain some ground considering Detroit's road trip that awaits them. During the past week Cleveland was able to get a win at The Palace as LeBron looked like he is returning to form. Finally getting a win over Detroit on the road was exactly what this team needed to gain some momentum. As far as matchups go tonight, I cannot see the Milwuakee zone stopping Cleveland tonight. I love the rebounding effort night in and night out from Varejao which leads to second chance opportunities and more importantly, pace control. I expect Cleveland to show up and take control late in this game and walk away with a victory.
The Charlotte Bobcats losers of 7 straight, 6 of them being road games, take on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight. I really see Charlotte having their way down low tonght with May and the run 'n gun mentality of the Grizz is just not going to be enough to stop Charlotte. I think after Charlotte dropping 6 road game in a row, coming home and playing Memphis who execute zero defense home or away is what this team needs to finally get a win underneath their belt.
