I haven’t slept in days.

I’m absolutely salivating at the mouth for tonight’s showdown in Beantown (or should I say Sleaze-town).

The Cavaliers take on the Celtics tonight in Boston at 8 p.m.

Boston is supposed to be without Kevin Garnett tonight but rest assured Boston will be ready to play regardless of whether or not the Big Ticket laces them up.

(Side note: If Garnett does not play, Austin Carr owes Fred McCleod golf clubs.)

If the Cavaliers win tonight, it will most likely be the most impressive victory of the regular season.

On the road against the defending champs with the Number 1 seed on the line.

Both teams enter the game with 48 wins but the Cavaliers have the edge in the winning percentage due to two less losses.

The Cavaliers need this game to put somewhat of a cushion between the number 1 and 2 seed.

Home court advantage throughout the playoffs is a must for the Cavaliers who boast an incredible 27-1 record at the Q.

It is too hard to win on the road in the playoffs, especially against good teams.

The series so far this year is split 1-1, with each victor winning on their home floor.

I’m surprisingly confident that the Cavaliers should pull through tonight.

That is the difference with this year’s team.

The last three seasons, I would have never expected to win a game like tonight but this is a true championship contending team.

Also, if the Cavaliers win tonight, they'll tie a franchise record with most wins on the road in one season (22).

A win would also reduce their magic number to clinch the division to five.

(Detroit also plays tonight, a loss for them will reduce the magic number regardless if Cleveland wins or not.)
