Despite lofty expectations, LeBron's Cavs have gotten off to a slow start. After losing to the Knicks in their opener, they were able to bounce back with a win in Chicago just 24 hours later. They fell apart last night in Portland losing by a score of 101-82 to the Blazers. After the game LeBron was forced to sit down with the media and explain why this team hasn't been able to live up to the hype. I don't think he wants to answer any more of these questions after tonight's game in Utah.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Situational/Motivational - James was terrible in the loss to Portland with 11 points on 4-of-12 shooting. He had similar numbers in the season opener at home, but followed up with 36 points in a win over Chicago. I expect him to get back on track against an inferior opponent tonight.

2. Jazz Defense - Utah ranks 28th in the NBA allowing opponents to average over 105 points per game.

3. X-Factor - Kevin Love is dominating the boards with 13.3 rebounds per game. Only Nikola Vucevic has more (15).

The Coach was a winner on NBA's Opening Night, and that should come as no surprise given his history on the hardwood. He's now +$8,291 with ALL NBA in 2014, and he's got a 10* signature SLAUGHTERHOUSE on tap tonight!
