I wouldn't say it's make or break time, but I would say it is put up or shut up time. The Cavs are 20-1 against sub .500 teams, while they are 8-5 against +.500 teams. The Celtics are slumping and not playing the same D that they were playing with to begin the season. I want to see Mo and LeBron GO OFF on the Celtics tomorrow (well, later tonight.. :biggrin:) night!

The Cavs are "putting up", and the splits in their record show it. To be an elite NBA team you have to beat the bad teams and even blow them out with only very rare exceptions (20-1? Check.) You also need to dominate on your home floor (Undefeated at home? Check.) Finally, you need to hold your own against the good teams in the league. Even if the Cavs lose tonight, they will be 8-6 on the year against the good teams. That translates to going 4-3 in every seven games they play. If the Cavs go 4-3 against every team they play this summer, they'll be raising a banner.
