The Miami Heat have put their early season struggles behind them and are now 11-3 after a slow start and on Wednesday the team will be playing one of the most anticipated games on the NBA calendar, as they will meet the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio at Quicken Loans Arena in a game that will air on ESPN starting up at 7:30 pm and is the top games on the schedule and puts James up against one of the best young players in the league in Kyrie Irving.
James always gets the crazy boo treatment in Cleveland, but it will be nothing compared to what he received the first time he was back in Cleveland and at this point, it's really only the idiot fans jeering him. Many have forgiven James since he left for Miami and won multiple championships and now he will return home for the holiday and he said he will be giving his teammates an Ohio style Thanksgiving with his family. The Miami Heat star has been hit with persistent rumors about where he will go if he leaves the Heat and many think he could potentially return one day to Cleveland to play with the Cavaliers, but that obviously is a long way off. James said to reporters that his favorite holiday foods are turkey, yams, mac and cheese and much more and he will be giving his teammates the royal treatment.
The Cavaliers are coming into the game after being on the road and losing in San Antonio to the Spurs and that was a pretty bad loss by 30 points, but since it was the Spurs, it's no reason to panic. Miami started off slowly and have been "heating" up all through the month of November, going 11-3 for the second best record in the eastern conference behind the Indiana Pacers and now they will face off against a Cleveland team that is 4-10 on the season and hoping to make a playoff run. The Cavaliers are hosting the game before Thanksgiving and then they will continue on the road on Friday against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden and that game will be online at 7:30 pm.
Cleveland was totally outplayed by the Spurs on Saturday night and the team comes into the game looking to best James on Wednesday night. The Celtics are waiting next and the Heat come into the game after defeating the Phoenix Suns at home and the team got 35 points from James and after playing against Cleveland they will continue on the road to play the Toronto Raptors in Canada. The team comes in ranked third in points per game with over 106 and the defense has improved since early on, ranking in the top 10 with 96 points allowed and the team is also second in assists. The team is looking to cruise into Thanksgiving with a victory and a win would be nice for Cleveland and the fans continuing to want revenge for James leaving.
