The Cavaliers are really struggling on the road losing seven straight games. What is even more amazing is that they haven't really played at tough venues. In their current run they have lost at Philadelphia, New Jersey, Indiana, Orlando and New York. Not exactly solid playoff teams. Tonight they take on a pedestrian Milwaukee team which is very similar to the teams against which the Cavs have struggled. The Bucks are led by former Ohio State Buckeye Michael Redd. Much speculation has been made about Redd coming back to Ohio after this season and filling a major need for the Cavaliers. This could be a showcase game for this dead eye shooter. The host has won and covered the last five games in this series, based on Cleveland's road struggles as of late we look for that trend to continue. Milwaukee is an enigmatic team this season but have played their best basketball on their home court where Redd tends to pour in points by the thirties. The Bucks get the W here. Milwaukee for three stars.
