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 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. Magic – Conference Finals Game 1

May 20, 2009

Quote of the night:
How Stan Van Gundy motivated the Magic at halftime:
He told us we looked like we were all witnesses and we couldn’t have that…He has a great way of motivating all of us. – Dwight Howard.
Post-mortem:  Magic 107, Cavs 106
Sorry folks, this is the way it will be until the NBA gets [...]

Gameblog: Cavs at Atlanta Hawks – Game 3

May 9, 2009

Post-mortem: Cavs 97, Hawks 82
Many apologies for nothing for the third quarter, but things go a little intense.  Mo Williams said in his post-game press conference that the Hawks deserved some credit for the way they played.  He’s right.  They gave the Cavs fits until the team finally succumbed in the fourth quarter.
The Cavs set [...]

Game blog: Cavs vs. Hawks

May 7, 2009

Post-mortem:  Cavs 105, Hawks 85
If you saw it you know what happened, but there is nothing that can describe the domination the Cavs displayed tonight.  The weakest part of their overall game was the fact that they turned the ball over 18 times leading to 22 Hawks points.  Call them gifts, because Atlanta certainly wasn’t [...]

UPDATED: Pre-game Blog: Cavs vs. Hawks – Suspend Kobe?

May 7, 2009

I’m sure some of you have seen the infamous Kobe Bryant elbow on Ron Artest from last night’s Lakers-Rockets game.  But in case you haven’t here:

Here’s Artest’s post-game reaction:

Neither Cavs Coach Mike Brown or Atlanta Coach Mike Woodson is prepared to say that Bryant should be suspended after being asked about it.
It’s playoff basketball. I’m [...]

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Atlanta Hawks – Game 1

May 5, 2009

FYI:  Join me for an online chat at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Post-mortem:  Cavs 99,  Hawks 72
Defense. Defense.  Defense.
Looking rusty in the first half and not even thinking about defense, the Cavs clamped down on the Hawks in the second – especially in the third quarter – to run away with the win.  James got his team [...]

Cavs vs. Atlanta Hawks: Pre-Game Part I

May 5, 2009

I realize that some of you may have thought I dropped or hoped even that I fell off the face of the Earth. So sorry to disappoint some of you, but with the Cavs having enough time to tour Europe after their win over the Detroit Pistons, not a lot of real news came out [...]
