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 [...]

Post mortem:
Cavs 98, Celtics 83
All week the media heard and reported that this game had no more meaning than any other.  The Cavaliers, although the did so, cannot say that with a straight face after whipping on Celtics [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Bobcats

January 7, 2009

I see the Muppet curmudgeons are back.  Apologies guys, but my PC kinda went blammo in Washington D.C. Barely got my game stuff filed.   Yes, I did buy a new one.  Here’s tonight’s gameblog:
Post-mortem:
What do you say about a game in which the Cavaliers never trailed?  It’s as close to perfection as you’re going to [...]

Gameblog – Cavs vs. Bulls

January 2, 2009

Post mortem:  Cavs 117, Bulls 92
Defense was the word for this game.  The Cavaliers rode the Bulls from the jump and didn’t let go.  They turned the Bulls best weapon, Derrick Rose, into a non-factor.   About the only one who did any damage is Ben Gordon with 22 points, but considering he only plays offense, [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Heat – Let’s Do It Again – The Aftermath

December 30, 2008

Post mortem – You give the Cavs credit for making a serious run at the Heat in the second half – so serious that they came within one point of tying the game and had the opportunity to go ahead, but Daniel Gibson couldn’t quite finish on a drive to the hoop.
But let’s be honest.  [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Miami Heat

December 28, 2008

Post mortem:
This one looked more than dicey as the Cavaliers enter the fourth quarter.  The Heat had the lead at 67-58 to end the third and the momentum.  For much of the game, the Cavs looked listless.
Then, they just flicked it on.  On defense they came up with a couple of memorable stops in the [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Philadelphia – The Aftermath

December 10, 2008

Post mortem:  Cavaliers didn’t look their best tonight.  Luckily the 76ers weren’t especially impressive either.
After locking down on opponents in previous games, LeBron James didn’t look particularly dominating on defense against Andre Inguodala, allowing him 21 first half points.  In the post game he said that Coach Mike Brown challenged hm to return to the [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Indiana Pacers

December 5, 2008

Post mortem:
Cavs 97, Pacers 73
Another laugher as the Cavaliers prepare to go into Charlotte Saturday and take on the Bobcats.
Again, defense wins this one with some timely offense to put it away.  The Cavaliers won their 11th consecutive at home and 15-of-16. 
If this were last year and LeBron James scored just 11 points, any sane [...]
