No offense, but, um, no offense

November 27, 2005

I visited the Indiana Pacers and Minnesota Timberwolves locker rooms before they played and beat the Cavs last week.  Both of them had virtually the exact same scouting report up on the dry-erase board.   They read something like this: 
"Make them play half court. Slow tempo. Stop the ball. No fast breaks."
There’s no espionage there, [...]

Artest v. LeBron, part I

November 23, 2005

Anyone who has read me for awhile or heard me expound on the radio or TV knows that I’m a big Ron Artest fan.  I flat out think he’s one of the 10 best players in the NBA.  I don’t care about the brawl or the record label or all the flagrant fouls.  (By the [...]

DJ loves him some DJ

November 21, 2005

It is no surprise to me that Damon Jones and Terrell Owens are boys and proud supporters of each other no matter what.   As Damon said the other night in Philly to a reporter: TO just wants the ball.
When athletes hang out, usually they play video games, go to clubs, compare personal chefs and, in [...]

Offloading some musings

November 18, 2005

It is late, but here’s what’s on the brain from Brian after Orlando game:

I don’t want to say Z was in the zone tonight or anything, but dude threw three no-look passes, setting a career-high in that catagory, and all of them actually were caught.
Mike Brown has learned quickly, no matter who’s fault a defensive [...]

November 14, 2005

I’m not sure how closely many of you watched it because the Browns were on at the same time, but the Cavs win over Orlando really showcased some things about this team.
As I touched on in the article linked above, the most impressive thing about the win was LeBron James didn’t have to do it [...]

A few links for your digestion

November 9, 2005

Some stuff to keep you busy:

Damon Jones is blacking out the media, those of us in Cleveland have chosen not to write about it but a columnist in Toronto did.

Larry Hughes isn’t happy with his play.  I don’t think he’s been gangbusters, but I think he’s selling himself sort so far.  He’s is so multi-talented [...]

Scribbles in my mind

November 5, 2005

San Antonio — I either wrote or said sometime last week that all the Cavs’ weaknesses would be exposed here against the Spurs.  Boy, was I right.  I know it is early and still very much a work in progress, but here’s what I’ve noticed:

The point guards lack lateral quickness.  It won’t show up every [...]

Predictions ‘05

November 2, 2005

People love predictions, but I don’t.  Even so, here’s my best guess as to what will happen with the Cavs/NBA this season.  Feel free to tack on your own predictions in the comments section:

Cavs record: 47-35.  Ironically, this is the same record I predicted last season.  Do I not think this is a better team [...]
