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 [...]

NBA GMs: Sorry, Cleveland. Lakers Still the Faves

October 6, 2009

Bad news Cavs fans:  The Cavaliers aren’t the favorite, even with the additions of Shaquille O’Neal and Anthony Parker, to win the NBA’s championship this season.  They’re not even the favorite to win the league’s Eastern Conference – at least not with the league’s general managers.
Just 17.9 percent of league GMs say that the Cavs [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Magic – ECF Game 6

May 30, 2009

Post mortem:  Magic 103, Cavs 90
The familiar refrain returns to the North Coast:  ”Wait until next year.”
Yup, I’m sure everyone wanted to hear that line muttered.  But this year, despite the record, the Cavs weren’t the best team on the floor. Ultimately, the Magic possessed too much depth and presented too many matchup problems for [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Magic – ECF Game 5

May 28, 2009

Post-mortem: Cavs 112, Magic 102
Yeah, I know.  Nice blog, George.  Sorry.  It was either type during the game and deal with pain or type a game story along with the blog and deal with excrutiating pain.  I chose the former.
Probably the Cavaliers’ most complete game of the series thus far. The big difference: they played [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Magic – ECF – Game 3

May 24, 2009

Post Mortem:  Magic 99, Cavs 89
Some of you will disagree with this, but I get the overriding impression that this on is over. The Cas possess no complete solution to stopping the Magic.
In a physical game that was also occasionally sloppy, the Magic put together a defensive gem, holding the Cavs to 37 percent shooting [...]

Game Blog: Cavs vs. Magic – ECF – Game 2

May 22, 2009

Post-mortem: Cavs 96, Magic 95
The Cavs can take this one, breathe a sigh of relief and promptly get back to work.  Other than the victory itself, there’s not a lot of joy to be had here. The Cavs can take solace in the fact they held Dwight Howard to 10 points.  A strategy of double, [...]

Gameblog – Cavs vs. Orlando Magic

March 17, 2009

Post mortem:  Cavs 97, Magic 93
A few things of note:

Assuming the Cavs take nothing lower than the No. 2 seed (sorry, I grew up in Northeast Ohio and guard against sports optimism), the Magic and the Cavs could very well be on a collision course before the Eastern Conference Finals.  That should scare any Cavs [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Magic

January 29, 2009

Post mortem:
Magic 99, Cavs 88
And no, it wasn’t that close. Though up at halftime, the Cavs let this one slip way from them in the third as they shot an abysmal 38 percent from the floor.  It was in that quarter that you could also tell they were losing their cool.  When Coach Mike Brown [...]
