Gameblog: Cavs at Detroit Pistons – Game 3

April 24, 2009

 
Cavs 79, Pistons 68
It took LeBron James and dominant defense to win this game for the Cavaliers.  The Pistons hung around for three solid quarters, remembering the legacy they had as a team.  That, however, didn’t stop James from going off and the defense from standing firm.
James scored 11 points in the quarter, dished out [...]

Cavs at Pistons: Game 3: Pre-game Notes

April 24, 2009

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Loose is the best way to describe the Cavaliers as they prepared to take on the Detroit Pistons in Game 3 of the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. 
Leading the series 2-0, there’s no way they shouldn’t be.   Some might expect that the Pistons are more dangerous at home.  Well, [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Pistons Game 2

April 21, 2009

 
 
Post mortem:  Cavs 94, Detroit 82
What’s the saying? Too cute by half?  Yup.  No way this game should have been that close, but with the Cavs’ second string in, the Detroit Pistons took advantage to open the fourth quarter, going on a 27-5 run before the starters re-emerged to put the game away – for [...]

Cavs vs. Pistons: Pre-game Notes

April 21, 2009

A Few Observations from the Nose Bleed Seats

April 19, 2009

- As some of you may have realized after reading this blog for the past six months or so, I never really had to provide any depth of analysis for the Cavaliers prior to getting this gig.  That’s OK, I learn fast.  But it doesn’t take a genius to notice that the Cavs have turned [...]

Gameblog: Game 1 – Cavs vs. Detroit

April 18, 2009

Third quarter:  Cavs 78, Detroit 65
Other than the score there’s nothing particularly pretty about this, the Cavs are just taking care of their business.   It’s simple for them.  They continue to play as they have and they win this one.  You’d still like to see more defensive intensity because the Pistons actually outshot them in [...]
