A rather Bullish victory

March 31, 2007

I have been on a bit of a hiatus since the game in New York and was not in Chicago today.  However, I did watch the entire Cavs’ 112-108 win over the Bulls.  I believed this was the biggest game of the year to this point.  But every game from now on in will surely [...]

LeBron preaches, Sasha raps and Cavs win

March 27, 2007

Indianapolis — Beating a team that is eight games under .500 can’t be classified as a great win.  The Cavs will have plenty of tougher games between now and the playoffs.  Still the 105-94 win over the Pacers got them their playoff berth and, for the time being, their focus back.  So it had its [...]

A different night at the Q

March 25, 2007

As has happened several times this season, the Cavs allowed themselves to be sucked in to playing outside their skillset tonight in getting handled by the Nuggets, 105-93.  There have have been a handful of such losses this season, though this one is more costly because both Chicago and Detroit won today and there’s a [...]

Good thing the Knicks didn’t wait, in a few weeks it would’ve cost 41 cents

March 23, 2007

This was a bad game, so bad that it was entertaining because all I was watching was other stuff.  The Knicks pretended like they wanted to play for awhile but Isiah Thomas decided to throw in the towel in the third quarter and the Cavs won 90-68.  But surprisingly, I am really looking forward to [...]

The Mavs and Cav nots

March 21, 2007

Something happened to the Cavs in those last few minutes in Charlotte, they lost their focus and it isn’t back yet.  Neither the Mavericks or the Cavs played all that well tonight, but the Mavs had better focus and so they won, 98-90.  This game was so very winnable for the Cavs, yet they never [...]

Further reading

LeBron James is back, which means so am I writing about No. 23 on ESPN.com.

Also, I’m honored so share some space on the site today with Henry Abbott, the creator of Truehoop who has moved over to ESPN. The launch was today. I became aware of Truehoop in January of 2006 and quickly [...]

This one’s on Mike Brown

March 20, 2007

Charlotte — What happened here at the lovely Charlotte Bobcats Arena tonight was the definition of a bad loss.  It’s an 82-game season, these are going to happen, but considering it is now Spring and the stakes are high, I’d have to say this goes into the unacceptable category.
There was lots of crazy stuff happening [...]

Rebounding is more fun than Jazzercise

March 17, 2007

The Cavs’ offensive hot streak came to an end tonight, but their win streak didn’t.  Yet again (I keep finding reasons to write this) the team continues to show maturity in grinding out an 82-73 win over the Utah Jazz.
Here we go:
–The Jazz were playing their fourth road game in five nights, they lost [...]

LeBron to Memphis: “Thank you, thank you very much.”

March 14, 2007

Memphis — I would like to do something besides praise the Cavs, because that is all I have been doing in print for the past two weeks.  But I cannot after watching them totally bury the Grizzlies 118-96 here tonight after smashing the Kings last night.
Here are some thoughts, per usual:
–While my instincts tell me [...]

Weekend wrap

March 11, 2007

–The Bucks were devastatingly effective at posting the Cavs up.  Ruben Patterson and Michael Redd did it over and over.  With the Cavs’ size, this should be something they want.  It is hard to shoot over Sasha Palvovic, LeBron and Larry Hughes and Eric Snow is a good post defender.  Dribble penetration is usually what [...]
