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 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?

Game Blog: Cavs v. Wizards at the Schottenstein Center

October 24, 2008

COLUMBUS – It’s fun and mirth at Schottenstein Arena tonight.  This is one of those situations where I will happily bid adieu to the NBA’s preseason.  I suspect the goal in this game is as we’d expect in the fourth game of the NFL’s preseason – come out unscathed all while working up a sweat [...]

October 15, 2008

UPDATED – Sorry, guys.  I thought this updated before making the late-night trek from Pittsburgh.  Included are post game comments and audio.
 
PITTSBURGH – Did you know that the city of Pittsburgh was built on a series of winding, rolling hills?  That’s great if you’re into that type of stuff, but when you’re trying to find [...]
