Fan Club of any and everyone good!
gonna start posting stuff i find in researching these two games in here. then i will come back to make my two cents of what've found.
The Cleveland Cavaliers continue their pursuit of the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference on Thursday night when they host the New Jersey Nets, who can move closer to clinching a spot in the postseason.
Cleveland (46-32) trails Chicago by one-half game in the race for the second-best record in the East. The Bulls, however, own the tiebreaker between the teams.
New Jersey (37-40), meanwhile, can cut its magic number to one for a sixth straight playoff berth with a victory.
The Cavaliers won 50 games last season and seemed to be in good shape to surpass that total when they were 41-25 after an eight-game winning streak from March 3-17.
Cleveland, however, hasn't been able to win consecutive games since that run, alternating wins and losses in its last 10. The Cavs haven't played since an 87-82 defeat at Detroit on Sunday.
LeBron James turned in another rough performance by making 5-of-16 shots for 20 points as he was double-teamed constantly. Two days earlier, he made 7-of-23 shots for 25 points in a 99-94 win at Washington.
Head to Head
