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 [...]

Pregame Notes: Delonte West, Shaq and the Warriors

November 17, 2009

Coach Mike Brown said that Delonte West will be activated for tonight’s game against the Golden State Warriors.
How much playing time he gets remains to be seen.  In West’s three games of being inactive, others have stepped in to fill the void and his time.
‘’That depends on how the game unfolds in terms of his [...]

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 [...]

Cavs: Yeah, on That Issue of Privacy

November 11, 2009

So we’re back to that privacy issue.   This time as it related to Shaquille O’Neal. For those who missed the TMZ report O’Neal’s wife has filed papers in a California court asking for a legal separation.  She fled their Orlando area home with their kids and loaded up and moved to Cali.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Cavs and Wizards Preseason Fun

October 15, 2009

It’s difficult to find anything to like in a game where the Cavs give up 109 points on 55 percent shooting in a five-point loss.  The Wizards were able to get off easy layups, uncontested jump shots and perimeter defense was non-existent.
But circumstances have to be taken into consideration.  LeBron James out with flu-like symptoms. [...]

Training Camp: Half Way Through

October 13, 2009

Two weeks remain in the Cavaliers’ preseason and there are a couple of things worth noting:
Shaq and LeBron are showing that they’re developing that elusive thing called chemistry.  While Monday night’s exhibtion game against Greek team Olympiacos felt every bit like a preseason fling.  Those two got to work toward the end of the first [...]
