On Jan 12th, things heat up when the Cleveland Cavaliers come into Phoenix to battle against the Phoenix Suns. A few years ago, this would have been an amazing competition with LeBron James and Amare Stoudemire going head to head in a collision course. In the age of free agency nonetheless, times definitely have evolved as this competition appears dramatically different. Phoenix is preferred by 6 points over the Cavaliers and this appears to be a safe bet.

The Cavaliers have gone through quite a sea change in the last three years as a squad. With the leaving of LeBron James still wreaking havoc on the squad all this time around later, the Cavs have fought mightily to produce an outstanding basketball squad to put on the court. The Cavaliers lost a record 23 straight matches last year with the only bright spot arriving in the form of Baron Davis who helped the squad with a handful of late year victories. Baron Davis left for New York just after the lockout concluded and the Cavs again are faced with the candidate of a hard year. The Cavs are steadied by veterans PF Antawn Jamison and fan fave PF Anderson Varejao. SG Daniel Gibson and PG Kyrie Irving total the backcourt for the struggling Cavaliers.

The Suns also are coping with changing times in this present NBA landscape. Celebrity PG Steve Nash is regularly questioned about his future as Nash is in his very last year under deal. The rumor is that the Phoenix Suns could perhaps deal him to a contender before the year ends. Although both Nash and the Phoenix Suns front office deny those rumors, it is sure to be a slight diversion to the squad. Ageless SF 39-year old Grant Hill has seasoned a rebirth of sorts in Phoenix. This resurgence has persuaded former all-star SG Michael Redd to sign with the Phoenix Suns at the league minimum deal to stage a remarkable comeback after 2 distressing knee accidents over the past three seasons in Milwaukee. C Marcin Gortat and SF Jared Dudley are doing their best to compensate for the loss in frontcourt production due to Amare Stoudemire’s defection to the Knicks.
