Cavs Unable to Slay Giant Lakers

January 20, 2009

*map gthomas spt cavs¶
LOS ANGELES – With players diving for loose balls as if this was the last basketball game of the season and a crowd into things from the very beginning, Monday night’s affair at the Staples Center said playoff hoops.  The calendar, however, read January.
That proved of little matter to the Cavaliers and [...]

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. 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 Oklahoma City Thunder

December 22, 2008

Post-mortem:
Give Oklahoma City credit, they played much better than when they appeared in Cleveland.  Yes, the Cavaliers eventually wore them down, but this Thunder team hustled, made the Cavaliers work for everything and beat them on the boards.  Ultimately the Cavs won because they out shot the Thunder hitting more than 55 percent from the [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Atlanta Hawks

December 13, 2008

Post mortem:
Early lackluster play doomed the Cavaliers tonight.  In the first quarter they weren’t as aggressive as they have been in going after the ball.  The Hawks beat them on the boards throughout the game with the Cavaliers only winning the fourth quarter by a single board. 
This team’s dilemma is that they’ve grown accustomed to [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Philadelphia 76ers

December 12, 2008

Post mortem:  It wasn’t pretty to start, but it’s a win that any casual observer would take.  Coach Brown didn’t think so after his post game comments, but this is a game that last year’s Cavs team wouldn’t have won.   Logically speaking they shouldn’t have won this one.  They lost the battle in the paint [...]

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. Toronto Raptors – The Aftermath

December 9, 2008

Post Mortem:  Sorry for no halftime fellas, but my laptop is getting a bit buggy with wireless.
Tonight proved to be a night for the record books as Z and LeBron set individual ones for rebounds and steals respectively and the team set a league record by winning their ninth consecutive game by 12 or more [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Charlotte Bobcats

December 6, 2008

At the half:
Cavs 55, Bobcats 35
If you’re out there watching this game, email me please.  Please? Please?  Let’s face it, it was never really “close”.  The Bobcats hit 4-of-21 shots for a whopping 19 percent.  At the end of two quarters, they’re up to a staggering 31 percent.  Yippee. 
The Cavs defense is smothering the Bobcats [...]

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 [...]
