Gameblog: Cavs at Minnesota Timberwolves

December 17, 2008

Post mortem:
So I’m sitting between Mary Schmitt-Boyer of the PD and Bob Finnan of the News-Herald and we all in near unison declare tonight’s game the most boring we’d seen in a while.  For me, that’s not as many as those two, but it’s still a significant number.  It remained that way until 1:20 of [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. New York Knicks

December 3, 2008

Post mortem:
 
If you take away the first half of the first quarter when the Cavs looked flatter than day old beer, then this could have been their best outing yet.
 
They shot 51 percent from the floor.  Scored 56 points in the paint.  Held the Knicks to just 39 percent shooting from the floor, blocked eight [...]

Gameblog: Cleveland vs. Atlanta Hawks – Quicken Loans Arena

November 22, 2008

Post mortem:

You know what’s funny?  I wrote a piece on Delonte West about 10 days ago about how well he’d been playing since coming back to the team.  I saw him on a limited basis toward the end of last season and the playoffs last year.  There’s a vast difference in who he is now [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Utah Jazz

November 15, 2008

Post mortem:
The Cavaliers won this game for two reasons – Delonte West stepped up big in the third quarter, dropping three, 3-point shots.  LeBron James assumed his normal role in the fourth quarter and dominated that period and lastly, defense.  While James was busy muzzling the Jazz with 13-of-21 shooting for 38 points, the team [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Milwaukee Bucks – Quicken Loans Arena

November 11, 2008

Post mortem:
Quick, anyone out there feel lucky to have escaped with a win in this game?   Yeah, I thought so.  That isn’t the wrong feeling to have at this point.  Once again the Cavs came out looking flat.  That could be said about the last three games.
 
Sure they would go on to the win and [...]

Cavaliers – Ramblings from the Road

November 3, 2008

Many apologies for a lack of a gameblog Saturday night – you got that grumpy ol’ muppets Alan and John?  To say that the New Orleans Arena had wireless issues would be kind.  Onward, however.
I never thought I’d get to New Orleans twice in a year – I was last there in January for the [...]

Game Blog – Cavs vs. Charlotte Bobcats

October 30, 2008

CLEVELAND –  The Cavaliers reveal their new look to the hometown fans tonight.  After a disappointing – not disastrous – disappointing effort versus the Celtics they open at home against a team they should beat.
A certain awkwardness prevailed over their season opener against the Boston Celtics and with the exception of Zydrunas Ilgauskas almost everyone [...]

Different Perspectives & the Cleveland Cavaliers

October 27, 2008

As I expected the Cavaliers are generating mixed feelings among prognosticators and NBA experts out there with respect to how they will do in the coming season. Some believe the addition of Mo Williams won’t make a lick of difference.  Others believe otherwise.
Sporting News’ Sean Deveney predicts the Cavaliers for second place finish in the [...]

Cavaliers: League’s Perspective

October 8, 2008

To those who continue to read this, I may be walking around in a haze for just a couple weeks, so be it.  Everything has a learning curve, even covering an NBA team with the most popular player on the planet in his hometown paper…errr…blog…Yeah, well you know what the heck I’m trying to say.

Updated: Game Blog: Cavs v. Toronto

October 7, 2008

CLEVELAND – The Cavaliers open their exhibition season tonight at Quicken Loans Arena, with a roster of 18, two of whom – guards Delonte West and Michael Dickerson – who aren’t here.
Coach Mike Brown is treating this exactly how it should be – a glorified practice. Don’t look for the starters to see a [...]
