Guess What Joe Smith’s Role Is…Playing Tonight

March 6, 2009

Some might wonder where the minutes that Joe Smith will play will come.
You won’t hear Zydrunas Ilgauskas complain about losing a few.  Ditto for Anderson Varejao.  Coach Mike Brown said as much today when asked if Smith would see action tonight against the Celtics:

Gameblog: Cavs at Chicago Bulls

January 15, 2009

Apologies for no halftime analysis, but I was working on getting news of Delonte West’s injury and let’s face it, if you’re a Cavs’ fan it’s not good.
It’s easy to look at West’s 12 points per game, four assists and the rest of it and say that those numbers are replaceable, but there are other [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Grizzlies

January 13, 2009

Post mortem:
Cavs 102, Grizzlies 87
Want to sum this win up succinctly?  Two words:  LEBRON JAMES.  While the team wasn’t necessarily flat, James lit the fuse that blew this one open.  He walked into the locker room with just nine points and left the game with 30.  Toss in 11 rebounds and 10 assists that inspired [...]

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 vs. Pacers

November 7, 2008

Post mortem:
Reality check:  This is a game that the Cavaliers had no business winning.  They were out scored in the paint 50-40, on the fast break 19-9, second chance points 26-8 and out rebounded 44-30.
So why were they able to pull it out 111-107?  Timely defense for one and the fact that LeBron James knew [...]
