The LeBron Watch Continues

October 30, 2008

Yes, the countdown has begun.  Two years left on the contract.  Watching the Celtics raise their championship banner and get bedecked in jewels, LeBron James is ready to bolt.  That’s the belief on the national level.

Different Perspectives & the Cleveland Cavaliers

October 27, 2008

As I expected the Cavaliers are generating mixed feelings among prognosticators and NBA experts out there with respect to how they will do in the coming season. Some believe the addition of Mo Williams won’t make a lick of difference.  Others believe otherwise.

Game Blog: Cavs v. Wizards at the Schottenstein Center

October 24, 2008

COLUMBUS – It’s fun and mirth at Schottenstein Arena tonight.  This is one of those situations where I will happily bid adieu to the NBA’s preseason.  I suspect the goal in this game is as we’d expect in the fourth game of the NFL’s preseason – come out unscathed all while working up a sweat [...]

Game Blog: Cavs vs. San Antonio Spurs

October 16, 2008

CLEVELAND –  Different uniforms and players tonight. What fun.  I’ve been seeing too much Celtics green lately.  And I saw too much of downtown Pittsburgh after dark while looking for Interstate 579 Tuesday night after leaving the Petersen Event Center.

Updated – Game Blog: Cavs v. Boston Celtics – Yes, Again!

October 15, 2008

UPDATED – Sorry, guys.  I thought this updated before making the late-night trek from Pittsburgh.  Included are post game comments and audio.
 
PITTSBURGH – Did you know that the city of Pittsburgh was built on a series of winding, rolling hills?  That’s great if you’re into that type of stuff, but when you’re trying to find [...]
