The defending champs are struggling, coming into tonight's home game versus Brooklyn as losers of three straight. This looks like a "get right" game for Cleveland, hosting the worst defensive team in the NBA. Brooklyn is allowing an average of 114.7 points per game, and has lost 14 of it's last 15 overall. They lost 10 of those 14 games by at least 10 points. Cleveland has won both meetings with the Nets this year by a combined 28 points. They beat Brooklyn by a score of 119-99 at home in December. LeBron James has been doing a lot of talking lately, and he's been very critical of the organization, as well as his teammates. "We gotta be better, that's all," James said. "We know we're going to get everybody's best, so we just gotta be better." I expect James and the Cavs to take out their frustrations on an inferior opponent here, taking the Nets behind the wood shed for an old fashioned whupping!

Take CLE.
