Shaq is out today with a shoulder strain. Z gets a chance to start and build some momentum for himself.
This will be a tough game for Cleveland despite Mike Browns 6-2 record against them, as they always struggle against Jerry Sloan's Utah Jazz.
Go Cavs!
Edit:
Utah is without Deron Williams tonight as well, so this is now a 'should' win...

Cavs off to a 20-10 lead.. Moving the ball well again, which is hopefully something that becomes a main staple in this offense.

I'm really starting to fall for J.J. I absolutely LOVE what he brings to the offensive end. So many weapons.

Yeah, he's got 20 or 22...
Cavs let Utah back in this game by taking them lightly... Now we have a close game for the final 3 minutes.

Cavs win as LeBron closes it out.
107-103
Shouldn't have been close, but a win is a win.

Yeah, LeBron takes 3 and half quarters to arrive to the arena, but manages to show up when it counts. Tonight shows that this team will need Shaq throughout this year. Z just does not really have it anymore, he was getting owned down low on the glass and defensively, not to mention he still doesn't have much of anything in terms of offense. I like the Hickson/Varejao combo but they definitely can't do it all.

Agreed^
Shaq means a lot to this team and it was never more evident than tonight and the Orlando game.
Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon both had great games and JJ Hickson is just going to be a flat out stud. He's putting a complete game together by hitting jumpshots, attacking the rim, being active on defense and causing havoc..
