Gameblog: Cavs at Magic – ECF Game 6

May 30, 2009

Post mortem:  Magic 103, Cavs 90
The familiar refrain returns to the North Coast:  ”Wait until next year.”
Yup, I’m sure everyone wanted to hear that line muttered.  But this year, despite the record, the Cavs weren’t the best team on the floor. Ultimately, the Magic possessed too much depth and presented too many matchup problems for [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Magic – ECF Game 5

May 28, 2009

Post-mortem: Cavs 112, Magic 102
Yeah, I know.  Nice blog, George.  Sorry.  It was either type during the game and deal with pain or type a game story along with the blog and deal with excrutiating pain.  I chose the former.
Probably the Cavaliers’ most complete game of the series thus far. The big difference: they played [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Orlando Magic – ECF Game 4

May 26, 2009

Post-mortem:  Magic 116, Cavs 114
Here’s what I don’t get.  The Cavaliers held the Magic’s Dwight Howard reasonably in check with 17 points in regulation and then he explodes for 10 points in overtime.  There’s the difference if you asked me.
The Cavaliers had the chance to pick their poison and those chose to keep eyes fixed [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Magic – ECF – Game 3

May 24, 2009

Post Mortem:  Magic 99, Cavs 89
Some of you will disagree with this, but I get the overriding impression that this on is over. The Cas possess no complete solution to stopping the Magic.
In a physical game that was also occasionally sloppy, the Magic put together a defensive gem, holding the Cavs to 37 percent shooting [...]

Game Blog: Cavs vs. Magic – ECF – Game 2

May 22, 2009

Post-mortem: Cavs 96, Magic 95
The Cavs can take this one, breathe a sigh of relief and promptly get back to work.  Other than the victory itself, there’s not a lot of joy to be had here. The Cavs can take solace in the fact they held Dwight Howard to 10 points.  A strategy of double, [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Magic – Conference Finals Game 1

May 20, 2009

Quote of the night:
How Stan Van Gundy motivated the Magic at halftime:
He told us we looked like we were all witnesses and we couldn’t have that…He has a great way of motivating all of us. – Dwight Howard.
Post-mortem:  Magic 107, Cavs 106
Sorry folks, this is the way it will be until the NBA gets [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Atlanta Hawks – Game 4

May 11, 2009

Post mortem:  Cavs 84, Hawks 74
Ugly. Ugly. Ugly.  Did I mention it was ugly?  The Cavs turned the ball over 18 times for 22 points and shot a pathetic 54 percent from the free throw line. In the short term is doesn’t matter.   The Cavaliers beat the Hawks because they played their brand of basketball [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Atlanta Hawks – Game 3

May 9, 2009

Post-mortem: Cavs 97, Hawks 82
Many apologies for nothing for the third quarter, but things go a little intense.  Mo Williams said in his post-game press conference that the Hawks deserved some credit for the way they played.  He’s right.  They gave the Cavs fits until the team finally succumbed in the fourth quarter.
The Cavs set [...]
