Gameblog: Cavs at San Antonio Spurs

February 28, 2009

Post mortem: Cavs 97, Spurs 86
Virtually everything that the Cavs did wrong against the Rockets, went the other way against the Spurs.
LeBron James scored virtually at will in the paint and from the outside.   He racked up his 121st career double-double and his 16th of the season.
He received serious backup from teammates as Delonte West [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Rockets

February 26, 2009

Post Mortem: Rockets 93, Cavs 74
Three glaring reasons exist as to why the Cavaliers got spanked in Houston tonight.
The first:  the inability to do anything with Rockets center Yao Ming who scored 28 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Yao was able to have his way with whomever guarded him be it Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Anderson Varejao or [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Grizzlies

February 24, 2009

Post mortem:  Cavs  94, Grizzlies 74.
Was anyone able to stay awake during that?  Let’s face it; it was over after the first quarter when the Grizzlies looked as if they wanted to hibernate.
LeBron James scores only 15 and the Cavs win?  Take it.  Cherish it.  Yours truly was skeptical as to how the Cavs would [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Detroit Pistons

February 22, 2009

Post mortem:
Someone on press row had to wake me when this one was over because the Cavs 99-78 win over the Pistons tonight was a snoozefest from the first quarter on.
The most excitement came toward the end of the game when fans wondered whether the team’s deep bench players would score the magical 100 [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Milwaukee Bucks

February 20, 2009

Post-mortem: Cavs 111, Bucks 103
Yes, that was something to behold.  Cavs fans have seen LeBron James carry the team before, but on few occasions have they seen him carry it quite like that.
Unleashing a 24-point barrage – 16 of it in the first 2:50 of the third quarter – James may as well had donned [...]

Welcome to the Trade Rumor Mill: Check Your Sanity At the Door

February 19, 2009

It begins with a whisper on a blog then blossoms into something bigger.
Such and such player is going here.   This dude is going there.  In the area of journalism, the rumor and innuendo take some getting used to.
For instance the Cavaliers have supposedly asked about the availability of Antawn Jamison of the Washington Wizards according [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Toronto Raptors

February 18, 2009

Cavs 93, Raptors 76
The Cavaliers should have won this game in the first half.  It’s that simple, but they were their own worst enemy.  They went into the locker room leading 47-41, but that could have easily been double digits.
The problem:  they committed 11-of-20 of their turnovers in the first half leading to 10 Raptors [...]

Cavs Trades: Amar’e Stoudemire?

February 14, 2009

You’ve likely read it here and here and here:
The Cavs are in the market for the Phoenix Suns’ Amar’e Stoudemire according to those reports. OK.  I get that.  They’re so close that they can taste.  An NBA championship or two over the next couple years will likely be enough for LeBron James to stay put.
On some [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Pacers w/Audio

February 10, 2009

It would be easy to explain what happened to the Cavaliers in Indianapolis, but sometimes it’s best to hear it with your own ears.  In the audio, Brown, LeBron James and Mo Williams are talking about referee Joe Crawford’s controversial call:  brown-james-williams2
Game: Cavs vs. Indiana Pacers

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Lakers

February 8, 2009

Life must be easy for Lamar Odom:  put on a cape in Cleveland and turn into Superman.  The Lakers forward certainly looked like that for much of the game against the Cavaliers, scoring 28 points and grabbing 17 rebounds.
Odom created matchup problems that were exacerbated by the absence of Sasha Pavlovic, who left the game [...]
