The Hawks had a right to be angry
The Hawks had a legitimate beef in their game against the Cavs Wednesday night. For some reason the shot-clock was not re-set late in the game after the Cavs missed a shot, resulting in a rushed Atlanta possession that they … Continue reading

Wow
These plays are something … even when they happen to the local guy.
Cavs lose the opener to Boston
Not a great opening night for the Cavs, who looked like a team still trying to find itself. LeBron James called it a "transition period." Coach Mike Brown said: "We will get better." The cynic in me started to ask … Continue reading

More on Varejao
ESPN's John Hollinger did a chat and was asked about Anderson Varejao's contract. Here's what he had to say (with a comment on soon-to-be-a-Cav Anthony Parker as well): Q. Isn't the Varejao deal a little ridiculous? He really can't be … Continue reading

Something I wonder regarding Varejao
I wonder if the fact that the contract is six years indicates something about the future of LeBron James. Let's be honest, James makes Varejao a better player, and Varejao is valuable because he plays so well off of and … Continue reading

Cavs retain Anderson Varejao
The Cavs signed Anderson Varejao to a six-year contract. It’s being touted as $50 million. Six years, $50 million for Anderson Varejao is too much. Except it’s not really $50 million. It could be $50 million, but it almost certainly won’t … Continue reading

A critic trashes the Cavs chances
At last … a naysayer. Gregg Doyel of CBSSports.com is not overly impressed with the Cavs front-court (or, in the present-day vernacular, the "bigs"). He loves LeBron James, but says the idea of the Cavs winning a championship is not … Continue reading

Celtics gripe over Allen's suspension
Ray Allen's one-game suspension for elbowing Anderson Varejao in the you-know-what will cost him $193,000 (not $158,000 as I first reported). Allen called the elbow an "unfortunate incident." Umm. Yeah. Then he and Celtics coach Doc Rivers blamed everything on … Continue reading

There is justice in the NBA — Allen suspended
Ray Allen was suspended one game by the NBA for his elbow to the groin of Cavs forward Anderson Varejao. It means nothing to tonight's meaningless game against Philadelphia, but it will cost Allen $158,000. Allen responded with the elbow … Continue reading

Cavs face Spurs without Varejao
I'm at the Cavs game, where the crowd is pretty subdued for a nationally televised game against the Spurs. Is this the product of two losses in a row? One item of notes: Anderson Varejao is not playing today. The … Continue reading
Another very impressive night for the Cavs
If the Atlanta win was exciting and entertaining and amazingly enjoyable to watch … well … what was the Miami win? I'm not big on writing things off TV, but that win showed a lot of guts, heart and moxie … Continue reading

Let us (please) welcome back Joe Smith

Anderson Varejao should watch this …
Tihs is pretty interesting. It has probably the greatest NBA coach ever, Red Auerbach, with legendary official Mendy Rudolph talking about flopping. They're both right. Flopping should not be part of the game. It's not defense. It's acting. (Cripes, does … Continue reading
A (half-hearted) Wizards guarantee, and maybe LeBron didn't get fouled
Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said this after Game 5: "I think we are going to play great on Friday. I'm not predicting a win but I think we are going to play great on Friday and then bring it back … Continue reading
