Gamethread: Phoenix Suns host LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers

The circus is in town. LeBron James is here, and he's back in the lineup for the reeling Cavs.

And so the big boys - Adrian Wojanrowski, Sam Amick, etc. - are here to see it. Let's hope the Suns show up well.

Hornacek, Suns notes:

• Hornacek said the players don't talk enough on defense. "The good teams will talk. You have to. You're constantly altering guys and calling out the rotations."
• But that they talk too much to the refs. "Sometimes they get emotional, but we tell them they got to control it."
• Didn't have to make the out-loud connection between the two.

Blatt, Cavs notes:

• Pregame, Cavaliers coach David Blatt sounded excited to get his team back to its winning ways.
• LeBron James and Shawn Marion will be back in the lineup tonight
• Add them to Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and Timofey Mozgov and you've got a pretty good team.
• Said the team's spirit was way up yesterday in practice when LeBron practiced at full speed. "Obviously we're happy to have him back. He's a very big part of our team. I know he'll get out there and give it everything he's got."
• Bron won't play long minutes, according to Blatt. "Low 30s, if that."
