Sonics inch past LeBronless Cavs

January 31, 2008

Sonics 101, Cavs 95
–I spoke with LeBron after the game. He said the ankle was sore but not too bad, he was able to wear normal shoes. There wasn’t much swelling, mostly it is just stiff and sore. LeBron said he wasn’t sure he’d be able to play against the Clippers on [...]

LeBron is cold blooded

January 30, 2008

Cavs 84, Trail Blazers 83
–Two things learned tonight: 1. The Cavs are an experienced team in close, tight games and the Blazers, even with their success, still have learning to do. 2. Joe Johnson is not LeBron James.
–Seriously the Cavs were down 11 points with four minutes to play and LeBron was getting [...]

LeBron: Get me Kidd

January 29, 2008

Just got back from Cavs practice this evening at Nike’s world headquarters in Beaverton, Ore. Mary Schmitt Boyer from the Cleveland Plain Dealer just mentioned the name “Jason Kidd” and LeBron James made some pretty candid comments on how badly he wants the Cavs to trade for him. Here it is:
“I would love [...]

LeBron beats Kobe again…better late than never

January 27, 2008

Cavs 98, Lakers 95

–First things first, Danny Ferry was not on the trip to Los Angeles. I can only assume he’s trying everything in his power to put together a package for Jason Kidd at this moment. I don’t think it is likely, but I’ll bet he’s trying to do something. More [...]

Cavs get a heat check

January 25, 2008

Suns 110, Cavs 108
–There’s two ways to look at this game. The Cavs got totally outplayed in the second half. They let a soft defensive team with no basket defender be more physical than them and take them out of their rhythm. They regressed on offense in the second half to last [...]

Wizards vs. Cavs

January 23, 2008

Cavs 121, Wizards 85
–So this was didn’t finish the way anyone thought it would. This was historic tonight, folks. The Cavs set records for points in a quarter (43 in the third) and their 39 assists and six turnovers is a first since they started keeping the turnover stat. There’s a bunch [...]

The Heat is off

January 21, 2008

Cavs 97, Heat 90

–This is my fifth year on the Cavs beat and it’s the first time I’ve written about a win here at the AmericanAirlines Arena. I remember my first game here when the Heat were 0-7 and they got their first win with Dwyane Wade. There were like 10,000 people here, [...]

No blood, no foul in S.A.

January 17, 2008

Cavs 90, Spurs 88

Dealing with some computer issues, so I’m going to have to be a little brief tonight until I get it figured out.
–Let’s take a vote: How many of you thought Manu Ginobili’s jumper was going in at the buzzer? Well, everyone on the Cavs bench was ready for it after the [...]

LeBron speeds his way to 51

January 15, 2008

Cavs 132, Grizzlies 125, OT

–Can’t believe the Grizzlies decided to let Mike Miller basically play LeBron James alone on a island for much of the night. Sometimes they double teamed but most of the time they left those two alone. Thus, LeBron puts in 51. You won’t see that again for awhile [...]

Mike Brown gets a new deal

January 14, 2008

Mike Brown got a new contract today. Cavs never tell me the numbers, but I called some people and it sounds he’s on his way to getting his pay doubled from a little over $2 million this year to more than $4 million during the extension, which gives him two more years to 2011. [...]
