On January 12th, things get hot when the Cavaliers come into Phoenix to face the Phoenix Suns. Two seasons ago, this could have been an amazing matchup with LeBron James and Amare Stoudemire going head to head in a collision course. In the age of free agency nevertheless, times surely have changed as this matchup seems considerably different. Phoenix is preferred by 6 points over the Cleveland Cavaliers and this is apparently a safe bet.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have gone through quite a sea change in the last 3 years as a squad. With the leaving of LeBron James still wreaking havoc on the squad all this time later, the Cavs have fought mightily to produce an outstanding basketball squad to put on the court. The Cleveland Cavaliers lost a record 23 straight games 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 ended and the Cavs again are faced with the contender of a challenging year. The Cavs are paced by veterans PF Antawn Jamison and fan favorite PF Anderson Varejao. SG Daniel Gibson along with PG Kyrie Irving full the backcourt for the stressed Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Suns also are going through changing times in this existing NBA landscape. Celebrity PG Steve Nash is constantly asked about his future as Nash is in his last year under contract. The rumor is that the Phoenix Suns may possibly deal him to a competitor before the year ends. Even though both Nash and the Phoenix Suns front office refute those rumors, it’s sure to be a slight distraction to the squad. Ageless SF 39-year old Grant Hill has seasoned a revival of sorts in Phoenix. This resurgence has persuaded former all-star SG Michael Redd to sign with the Phoenix Suns at the league minimum contract to stage an amazing comeback after 2 disastrous knee injuries over the past 3 seasons in Milwaukee. C Marcin Gortat and SF Jared Dudley are doing their greatest to make up for the loss in frontcourt production because of Amare Stoudemire’s defection to the Knicks.
