Baron Davis will be in a Cavaliers uniform for the first time tonight.
He will make his debut at Madison Square Garden, vs. the new-look Knicks.
Baron will come off the bench tonight, but could very easily become a starter for this team. "I'm excited,'' he said. "First game for a new team. I'm excited. I think the players are excited. It will be good for us all to get out there, put our best foot forward and just start working to be a better team, working on our chemistry, working to get better.''
The only concern is his nagging knee injury, which has bothered him all season long.
The Cavaliers beat the Knicks just one week ago, in Carmelo Anthony's second game as a Knick.
More recently New York stunned the Miami Heat, and are playing solid basketball.
There is a sense of excitement about Baron's debut; he knows how to get his teammates involved while also scoring the basketball.
Baron and Coach Scott have vowed their past differences aren't a concern, as Baron has matured and grown to respect his former coach.
Cleveland will be without Antawn Jamison, who broke his pinky finger and is expected to miss 5-7 weeks (which might as well be the rest of the season).
Riddled with major injuries all season, the Cavaliers will also be without Daniel Gibson, who has a left quad injury. We just can't seem to get all of our pieces healthy at the same time.
Defending Carmelo and Amare are the keys to tonight's game. The Knicks don't exactly have a defensive mindset, so scoring shouldn't be a problem.
It would be nice to drop New York back to reality again, especially during the debut of a new Cavalier.
Baron Davis is going to make a difference, and he's ready to embrace the Wine and Gold.
