Live Thread: Cavs vs Hornets

Tonight the 11-7 Cavaliers face off against the 8-9 Charlotte Hornets. Cleveland is riding a six game win streak and beat the Hornets on the 15th 115-107 in their last meeting. LeBron and company tend to bring the heat when going up against MJ’s team. It’s as if James wants to give Michael a first hand view of the new king of the NBA.

In their last several outings Cleveland has seemingly turned things around, aided by superb outings by several contributors. Korver is back to shooting lights out as his shooting percentages in the 4th quarter in particular have been nothing short of astounding. Jeff Green has been surprising and the team is performing much better as a whole.

Charlotte, on the other hand, followed up a six-game losing streak with their current three straight wins. Batum is questionable tonight after reinjuring his elbow. For the Cavs, Shumpert is still nursing a nagging injury while Derrick Rose is reportedly away from the team and evaluating his future in the NBA. Cleveland should have no trouble dispersing the Hornet’s nest tonight. Go Cavs!
