Re-hashing Vegas…my take

February 28, 2007

It seems, due to a rather slow time in sports news, that the popular national topic over the last couple of days has been the scene at the All-Star Game in Vegas a few weeks ago.  I find this interesting, the whole news lag of it all.

A semi-good/bad win

February 27, 2007

It is hard for me to give much praise to the Cavs tonight.  A win is a win and they all equal the same, I suppose.  Watching them again chuck jumpers in the fourth quarter left me to consider dragging out my old links again.  So on this night they made them, which will probably [...]

Been there, seen that, wrote it

February 25, 2007

Miami — So the Cavs lost here after a terrible offensive effort.  I simply refuse to go over all this old ground.  So I am going to do what I said I was going to do.  I will refer to this blog post and this story from December and move on the to the next [...]

No dice…or Bibby

February 22, 2007

The Cavs were unable to make a trade by today’s deadline.  I am told by sources that general manager Danny Ferry and his staff worked like crazy for days trying to get something done.  They had three and four-team packages lined up, huge chucks of players moving here and there in an effort to get [...]

Ferry in dash to get Bibby

February 21, 2007

Didn’t go it to Toronto tonight, my first missed game of the season.  But this was no off day, I was working the phones hard.  I talked to several organizations and it has become clear the Cavs are going all out as to land Mike Bibby.
In my past dealings with Danny Ferry, I found him [...]

All-Star musings, mumblings

February 18, 2007

Vegas — Here’s an idea for the next time the NBA comes to LVNV for the
All-Star Game, and we all know it will happen.  Play the game on
Friday.  After three days in Vegas, the players didn’t seem to have
much energy left to actually play the game tonight.  After all this
flash and dash, the turnoverfest/blowout was [...]

Out of my league

February 17, 2007

Vegas — Let me start with this: I haven’t seen so many skintight, short pieces of clothing since I was forced to cover two days of the state wrestling tournament as a newbie sportswriter.
This is only the start of the All-Star Weekend here and it is already living up to its billing.  Overcrowded, over-hyped and [...]

L.A. Story

February 15, 2007

Los Angeles — It is almost 2:45 a.m. back in Cleveland.  My guess is most fans didn’t get to see the Cavs finish off a 114-108 win over the Lakers tonight at the Staples Center.  Enjoy the highlights, they will be all over the place tomorrow.  Here are some of my thoughts.
–This was a nice, [...]

Observations from Utah loss

February 14, 2007

Salt Lake City — Thoughts following the Cavs 99-98 loss here tonight:
–I didn’t even look at a replay to see if Sasha Pavlovic was fouled on the last play.  It doesn’t matter and I don’t care.  In short, if the Cavs had gotten the rebound, they could’ve called timeout and set up a play with [...]

Cavs vs. Lakers

February 11, 2007

3:34 p.m. — Welcome to the live blog.  All the hugging and kissing and hand slapping is going on.  When ABC deems fit, we’ll start.
3:41 p.m. — Lakers 14, Cavs 7.  Last two games Vladimir Radmanovic had two points total.  Plus his coach called him out and said he basically sucks right now.  But already [...]
