James Rests While Remaining Cavaliers Fall To The Bucks


The 2009/2010 season for the Cleveland Cavaliers has been a demonstration in roster versatility. The team has been without Delonte West, Mo Williams, Shaquille O’Neal, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and Daniel Gibson in a variety of combinations for quite a few games this season, and still came into tonight’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, with a three game lead over the Lakers for the best record in the NBA. So it’s understandable that coach Mike Brown felt confident enough to sit his best player, LeBron James, so that he can be get a little rest as the team gets ready to head into the final month of the regular season, and then the playoffs. James tweaked his ankle in Friday’s win over Detroit, and though he walked with a noticeable limp while in street clothes in Milwaukee, Brown said LeBron could have played and that his decision to hold him out of the game was not due to any kind of injury.

Snuggie Night For Cavs….A Hit!


You have to hand it to the Cleveland Cavaliers and their marketing team. In spite of having a full house of 20,562 fans every game, they still aggressively roll out additional “perks” to attract fans to their games. However, unlike many markets where all you need to do is watch a few highlights on ESPN to see loads of empty seats in arenas from Miami, to New Jersey, to Dallas, the Cavaliers don’t really need anything more than the team they put on the floor to attract fans. So these promotions are almost more of a “thank you” to their fans, than an invitation.

LeBron James To Change Number from 23 To 6


LeBron James followed through with his commitment made last November, when he was in Miami for a Cavaliers game against the Heat. After that game, he announced that he would be changing his number from 23 to 6 in honor of Michael Jordan. The Heat retired Jordan’s number back in 2003 when they hung the jersey, which is half-Bulls and half-Heat, in honor of His Airness’ contributions to NBA basketball. Ironically, the number 23 is the only one retired in Miami and it’s from a player who never played for the Heat.

Cavs Lose Third In A Row, Despite Jamison Finding His Rhythm


The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially in their worst slump of the last two seasons. It’s been that long since the Cavaliers have lost three games in a row.
The good news for the Cavaliers is that their new teammate, Antawn Jamison, proved that his first game as a Cavalier was a fluke, as he had a solid night, scoring 19 points in 31 minutes. He played aggressive defense and ended up fouling out of the game.

Somewhere in DC, There’s a Big Lithuanian Laughing To Himself


Somewhere, in a hotel room in Washington DC, there’s a tall guy from Lithuania chuckling right now, as he sits in his hotel room watching the highlights of the Cavs second loss in a row. He’s not a mean guy. In fact he’s one of the nicer guys you would ever want to meet. But after being sent packing from a team that he had spent his entire 13-year career with, while the team was on one of the best winning streaks in the team’s history, with the best record in the NBA, the fact that the team is suddenly struggling to find any offensive rhythm, is just too ironic to watch with a straight face.

Trade Talks Continue For Cavs At All Star Weekend


Though the Cleveland Cavaliers only have one representative on the court for this weekend’s All Star game, the talk about the Cavaliers is about far more than their lone all-star, LeBron James.
Bouyed by record revenues from consistent sell-outs, tremendous merchandise sales, and one of the largest viewerships of their local broadcast of their games (many teams average about 25,000 viewers per game while the Cavaliers average over 120,000), Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and his GM, Danny Ferry, are ‘buyers’ in what for many teams is a ’sellers’ market.

Thoughts on Cavs After Pre-All Star Break Win Over Magic


The Cleveland Cavaliers head into the All Star break in the midst of a franchise-record-tying 13 game winning streak, and with the best record in the NBA.
The goal for this team has been clear since the season began: Win a Championship. To do that though, you must be the last team standing in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and as the Cavs saw last year, their biggest obstacle in doing just that is the Orlando Magic. So it’s HOW the Cavs got their 13th win in a row that is so impressive.
The Cavaliers beat the Magic 115-106 on Thursday night, and a few things came to mind in watching this game:

Cavs Down Nets and Extended Winning Streak to 12 Games


After starting out a bit slow and being behind after the first quarter, the Cavs seems to come to the realization that the league’s worst team….the New Jersey Nets…..were not going to be an easy victory, and decided to apply themselves. In the end, the Cavaliers came away with their 12th win in a row, and expanded their margin over the rest of the NBA to 2 games.

Cavs Almost Get ‘Knick’-ed In LeBron’s Record Breaker


Like putting a dozen Krispy Kreme’s in front of Kirstie Alley, and then pulling them away before she reaches to devour one, Knicks fans watching Saturday night’s game once again got a demonstration of what The King can do when he switches it on ‘highlight mode’. James seems to always put on a show in front of the Knicks…after all, his career best 52 points came at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks…and he did it again, this time at The Q in a 113-106 win to extend the Cavs winning streak to 11 games.
