Gameblog: Cavs vs. Golden State Warriors

November 28, 2008

Post mortem:
Cavs win 111-97
Raise your hand if you thought the Cavs were toying with the Golden State Warriors for the briefest moments tonight?
Yeah, me too.
It felt like a poke-poke, let’s see what you have type of affair.  The Cavs took their best shot and knocked them back.  After beginning the game down 12-2, they scrapped [...]

Gameblog – Cavs at New York Knicks

November 25, 2008

Post mortem:

New Yorkers wanted LeBron to light up the Garden.  Tonight it wasn’t that type of party because this proved to be the epitome of a team win.
Everyone got into the act on offense as each player on the active roster scored.  Yes, James led everyone with 26 points, but ultimately it was a balanced [...]

On that Knicks Trade: Not so fast (Updated)

November 25, 2008

Who knows whether this will hold up, but numerous sources report that part of the Knicks cap-clearing trade could be in jeopardy:
Guard Cuttino Mobley may have heart issues.
Mobley now cleared.

Back in the Big Apple Where the NYC Media Waits to Take a Bite

November 25, 2008

Yes, one week later the Cavaliers return to New York City and just when Cavs fans don’t think that the salivating over the possibility of LeBron James can’t get any worse on the part of the New York media, they’re proven wrong.
Why?  As I tried to take a nap after having to awaken at 4:30 [...]

Gameblog: Cleveland vs. Atlanta Hawks – Quicken Loans Arena

November 22, 2008

Post mortem:

You know what’s funny?  I wrote a piece on Delonte West about 10 days ago about how well he’d been playing since coming back to the team.  I saw him on a limited basis toward the end of last season and the playoffs last year.  There’s a vast difference in who he is now [...]

Yes, They’re Ga-Ga in NYC Over LeBron – So What Else is New?

November 22, 2008

Personally, I’ve never read so much blather about two trades a team makes to rid themselves of cap room by getting rid of Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford and clearing tons of cap space.
What’s it do?  A team that had no legitimate shot at making a run at James 48 hours ago, has one now.  My [...]

Gameblog – Cavs at Detroit Pistons

November 19, 2008

Post mortem:
Rather than dealing with my shallow analysis of what went wrong, I think it best to let Coach Mike Brown sum it up for all of you out there.:
 

At halftime some of their players must have gotten together and said let’s defend and take this game away from the Cavaliers.  They came out in [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at New Jersey Nets

November 18, 2008

Post mortem:
The Cavaliers showed they are a second-half team.  In fact, it was almost as if two teams were playing Tuesday night against the Nets – the one that would turn the ball over 10 times in the half and the other that would only turn it over once in the second.  Also, they kicked [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Utah Jazz

November 15, 2008

Post mortem:
The Cavaliers won this game for two reasons – Delonte West stepped up big in the third quarter, dropping three, 3-point shots.  LeBron James assumed his normal role in the fourth quarter and dominated that period and lastly, defense.  While James was busy muzzling the Jazz with 13-of-21 shooting for 38 points, the team [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Nuggets – Quicken Loans Arena – The Aftermath

November 13, 2008

Post mortem:
The Cavaliers hit triple digits for the fifth time in six games and ‘’hold’’ the Nuggets to just under 100.
And they did it with defense, the way Mike Brown likes his team to play.  A little perspective – the Nuggets scored just 38 points in the second half and a white-hot Chauncey Billups was put on [...]
