November 18, 2009

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 [...]

CLEVELAND – LeBron James has continued a friendship with the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry, that began two years ago when the rookie was in college.
Curry, who was born in Akron, was the first-round draft choice of the Warriors this past summer and started last night against the Cavs.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
