A win is important tonight, because going forward, the Cavs next face Chicago on the road, the Pacers at home, the Bulls again at home, the Nets on the road, and then the Pistons at home. That’s a tough stretch. Cavs need to beat Utah to go into those games with some momentum.

I’ve been watching the voting in the sidebar on whether or not readers at this blog want Ron Artest on the Cavs….and you guys really are surprising me. You want Ron Artest? With Utah in town, we got all this Carlos Boozer handwringing going on, it’d be 100 times worse with Artest. He’d destroy the team. He’d do the same thing to the Cavs that T.O. did to Donovan McNabb’s Eagles. I really hope Danny Ferry isn’t that stupid.

This is what happens when you make decisions based solely on money.

After departing Cleveland a rich and healthy player on the rise, Utah forward Carlos Boozer’s fortunes — and both teams’ fans — have turned against him.

I’ve always thought that basketball players benefit from playing in big college programs like Duke, the one Boozer came out of. Thought it made them better human beings, better players, better all around. I guess it depends on the person. Lebron James never went to college….doubt we’ll ever hear anything like this about him. Someday perhaps Cavs fans will have a shot at yelling their outrage down on Boozer at the Q…not tonight it appears.
