Gameblog: Cavs at Knicks

November 6, 2009

Post-mortem:  Cavs 100, Knicks 91
A quick look back:
I don’t know about anyone else, but yorus truly is relieved that this is the only visit the Cavs make to Big Apple. While it was low key for the most part, the speculation and the the rumor mill turning make for a blah kind of experience. Everyone [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Bulls

November 5, 2009

Post-mortem: Bulls 86, Cavs 85
A few observations:
LeBron James said it himself.  Right now, the team’s primary problem remains on offense.  They averaged more than 100 points per game last year and are nowhere near that this season.  Allow me to add something to that.  The free throw shooting sucks. I probably couldn’t hit one to [...]

Cavs vs. Wizards

November 3, 2009

Normal format blown by other duties tonight:
Tonight the Cavs flashed what they could look like under ideal circumstances in a couple of ways. 
First there was trying to get Shaquille O’Neal going in the middle.  When the offense stagnated just a little, coach Mike Brown and his teammates got O’Neal going by tossing him the ball [...]

Cavs Around the Blogosphere

November 3, 2009

This little gem from Bethlehem Shoals of the Sporting News’ Baseline blog:
Yes! Exactly! If only the rest of the world would realize this and stop harping on whether or not Shaq will ever be something he hasn’t been in years. It’s like no one bothered to watch O’Neal in Phoenix, or has been so blinded [...]

Of Rivalries and Fantasies

November 3, 2009

One of the teams playing in tonight’s Cavs-Wizards game is living in a fantasy world.
Here’s a tip, it’s not the Cavs.  At least one Wizards player, DeShawn Stevenson, still believes that this meeting tonight renews a rivalry.
The rivalry filled with Papa John’s Pizzas, Soulja Boy vs. Jay-Z and said Stevenson not being able to feel [...]

Cavs vs. Charlotte Bobcats

October 31, 2009

Post mortem:  Cavs 90, Bobcats 79
Ultimately what turned this game into a win is what usually does for this team – defense.
At one point in the third quarter the Bobcats tied this thing up at 46 and it looked as if this would be another night of writing about the Cavaliers’ struggles. That was premature.
They [...]

Remain Calm: All Is Well!!!!!

October 30, 2009

Looking at the Cavaliers in their first two games, I am reminded of Kevin Bacon’s anal-retentive Omega House pledge in Animal House as the hordes of parade attendees trampled him fleeing Bluto Blutarsky (John Belushi), his Delta House chums and the mayhem they created in the name of revenge.
“Remain calm!!! All is well,” Chip screamed [...]

Cavs vs. Raptors

October 28, 2009

Raptors 101, Cavs 91
So who do the Cavs miss most?  Delonte West or former assistant Jon Kuester? Considering they’re having problems on both sides of the ball right now, the short answer might ”both.”
Defensively speakign the Cavs let the Toronto Raptors have their way with them the entire first half, going into the locker room [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Boston Celtics

October 27, 2009

Final:  Boston 95, Cavs 89
Post-mortem:  After getting off to a sizzling start in the first quarter, the Cavaliers fizzled the rest of the game partly because of unfamiliarity and mostly because of sloppiness.
This is what coach Mike Brown meant about starting the season out rough as the Cavaliers jumped on the Celtics early only to [...]
