Post-mortem:  Wizards 108, Cavs 91

It was bound to catch up with them sooner or later.  The Cavaliers had been living on the edge in the second halves of games for the past several.  Tonight the Wizards made them pay.  They held the Cavs to 39 percent shooting in the second half and forced 10 turnovers [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Utah Jazz

November 14, 2009

Post-mortem:  Cavs 107, Jazz 103
The jury remains out on the Shaquille O’Neal trade, but tonight was a perfect example of why the Cavs traded for him.  O’Neal sat out the game with a shoulder strain and that left the Utah Jazz’s guards free to do some damange. Chief among them:  Eric Maynor, who replaced Deron [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Magic

November 11, 2009

Post-mortem:  Cavs 102, Magic 93

Had anyone judged from the first quarter, this thing had all the makings of a shootout.  It wasn’t until the second that the Cavs put forth much in the way of defense and their defensive efforts in that quarter won the game for them.
Consider that the Magic shot just 29 percent [...]

Shaq: It’s All About Winning Championships

November 9, 2009

Don’t look for too much drama when it comes to the Cavs facing off against the Orlando Magic for the first time this year.
You’d think that with Shaquille O’Neal’s history with that club it might be something more, but that’s not the case.   Shaq was the NBA’s original Man of Steel, but Dwight Howard co-opted [...]

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 [...]
