Finally after walking away from Cavalier fans almost 3 years ago Carlos Boozer will return to Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. Forget about any supportive signs from fans in the crowd. He'll be lucky to maintain his concentration due to the echo of boos throughout the game. The Jazz have their best record in years in part to Boozer and from a string of young rising stars. They're going to be in for a fight Saturday night and since it's St. Patrick's Day the Cleveland crowd will be rowdy more than usual (especially after downing beer after beer).
Lebron James said that his ex-Cavs' teammate will be in for a terrible night. I have a feeling he's right because I can't imagine anyone in the building going easy on Carlos. The Jazz are 43-22 in first place ahead of Denver. The Cavs (40-25) trail the Pistons by 1.5 games in the Central and are coming off their sixth straight win against the Grizzlies. Recently, Hughes, Gooden, and Ilgauskas have upped their scoring performances to enable this poised run for Cleveland. Plus Sasha Pavlovic's efforts off the bench have added another scoring threat. The shooting guard dropped 25 points on the Kings on Tuesday.
It would be great to see the Cavs go on a 15-game win streak and gain ground over Detroit while finishing the seasons as one of the top seeds in the East. Nothing has kept Lebron down either. Aches and strains aren't enough to stop him from playing. He's only sit out a couple games so far. If he ignites Cleveland faithful, busting out for 50-plus points then Booz-clues will indeed have a wretched night...one he'll never forget I'm sure. Any type of distraction for this homecoming will be to the Cavs' favor. The trick is to get the bald-headed turncoat frustrated and irritated early. The starting lineup or just Lebron can then put on a one hell of a show.
