Breaking down the aftermath

June 30, 2007

Somewhere in the South Pacific — I’m a long way from home, but still get ESPN and the Internet so I fully followed the NBA Draft yesterday (early in the afternoon where I am). Here’s a couple of things to chew on:
–I’m getting feedback that a lot of fans are upset the Cavs did [...]

Final draft update

June 28, 2007

OK, folks I’m coming off the island vacation I am currently on for 15 minutes to give a brief update for tonight. I spoke with some Cavs officials yesterday and I am told they have about 15 guys they will be would be willing to draft if they can get in with cash and [...]

Draft thoughts

June 24, 2007

I have been getting lots of e-mail asking me how the Cavs can get into the lottery, or at least the first round, of this week’s draft.  Here’s what I can tell you.  First, they’re not getting in the lottery so cease with the Mike Conley Jr. e-mails.  Second, the Cavs feel like their first-round [...]

Rumors and perspectives

June 21, 2007

–There is a report in today’s Washington Post that says the Cavs are considering offering a contract to Wizards restricted free agent prospect Andray Blatche.  Blatche is very young (20), 6-foot-11, and has lots of talent.  He’s spent most of his first two years in the league sitting and watching, but his future is pretty [...]

The offseason begins

June 18, 2007

For the last several weeks I have been collecting information on the Cavs’ thought process and options for this summer.  Of course, it is poor form to be writing about the offseason while in a playoff run.  So I horded it all, piled it together and dumped most of it into this story, which has [...]

Over and out

June 14, 2007

The Finals are over and the Cavs never really got started.  Their 83-82
loss in Game 4 was pretty much like the other three games.  In fact, I
predict looking back it will be hard to remember when individual
moments occurred in the series.  For the Cavs, it was mostly all
"blah."  The Spurs had more talent, which we [...]

The party is almost over

June 13, 2007

When this all over, and that time is soon, the Cavs may very well regret they never gave the San Antonio Spurs their best shot.  Perhaps it would not have mattered, but it may be easier for them to rest in the off-season that way.  It didn’t matter Thursday when the Spurs wrestled the Cavs [...]

So, maybe things won’t change in Game 2

June 11, 2007

San Antonio — This was a whipping, nothing else.  I’ve seen them before in the AT&T Center and I’ll see them again probably.  Not only are the Spurs the better-looking team after the 103-92 Game 2 win, they are playing at a very high level.  If they continue to play like this, I don’t think [...]

Things will change in Game 2

June 9, 2007

San Antonio — Can’t speak for all of you, but this series is already getting a little tiresome for me.  Oh, there’s only been one game played?  Wow, you could’ve fooled me.  Two days with this much attention makes the analysis and conjecture reach a saturation point pretty quickly.  So the Cavs couldn’t stop Tony [...]

First and a long way to go

June 7, 2007

San Antonio — So the Spurs are pretty good.  Here’s the scary part Cavs followers: in the 85-76 loss in Game 1, the Spurs played about average.  They played good defense, Tony Parker was the fastest guy on the court, Tim Duncan was dominant, and Manu Ginobili hit a few shots.  Then they called it [...]
