Cavs' Joe Smith Is A Beast When It Comes To Rap
In their quest for their first NBA title, the Cleveland Cavaliers have finally found their song. Much like the “Super Bowl Shuffle” inspired the Chicago Bears to take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy after SBXX, the Cavs may have come across the anthem that will lead LeBron & Co. to b-ball glory.

'More Than A Game'; The Story of LeBron James And Co. in High School

Cavaliers Too Much For Detroit Again

It's more like the Cleveland Cavaliers if they had their heart, their brains, their soul, and their guts torn out. Translation: Lebron James will not play tonight. In fact, it's not even certain when Lebron James will return to the lineup. Apparently, 'day-to-day'...
The NBA Finals, by the numbers
As I sit here waiting for the (inevitable?) Cavs/Lakers Finals, I
started to wonder -- how does playoff seeding relate to Finals
appearances?
