Anderson Varejao done for rest of season

Found April 20, 2012 on Fox Sports Ohio:
PLAYERS: Anderson Varejao,  Byron Scott
TEAMS: Cleveland Cavaliers
9e
CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Cavaliers have shut down center Anderson Varejao for the remainder of the season with a broken right wrist. Varejao's wrist has not healed completely since he injured it Feb. 10 against Milwaukee. He was averaging 10.8 points and 11.5 rebounds before getting hurt. The Cavs went 10-26 without Varejao, the constantly hustling Brazilian and fan favorite. Cavs coach Byron Scott said before Friday's game against New York that he will not discourage Varejao from playing in the London Olympics this summer for Brazil. He said that decision will be made by Varejao and general manager Chris Grant. Scott says the Cavs would have won "10 to 15" more game with Varejao in the lineup.

Kyrie Irving Returns as the Cavaliers Drop 15th of Last 18

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  April 19, 2012
When Kyrie Irving returned from a stint of missed games due to a concussion, the first hit came with the biggest gasp. Roy Hibbert, seemingly twice the size of the Cavaliers’ rookie point guard, was ready and waiting. Irving took him on, full speed ahead for two points and deep exhale from all of those with vested interest in the player’s well being. Almost two months (to the...

Thorpe: Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson Rookies With Most Upside

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  April 19, 2012
When the Cavaliers landed the #1 and #4 picks in the draft, it was imperative they land two impact players with those picks. We know Kyrie Irving has lived up to the top pick and then some, but there’s a fair debate as to whether or not Tristan Thompson was the right pick at #4. ESPN’s David Thorpe, one of the sharpest talent evaluators in the media, think the Cavaliers might...

Cavaliers Should Take Lessons from the Oklahoma City Thunder

Dan Gilbert is saying that its hard for small market teams to compete. He feels that there should be certain rules in place to aid those teams so they can be more competitive in the NBA. He feels that in certain instances the Cavaliers wouldn’t have a chance to sign a big name player over a franchise like the Los Angeles Lakers or the New York Knicks. Gilbert has a point. At the...

Cavalier Tidbits As The Season Winds Down

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  April 21, 2012
A sect of Cavalier fans would like their favorite NBA team to cut the engines for the rest of the season right about now (this writer has at least one foot in on that proposition). The Cavaliers were having none of that, however, as they soundly defeated the New York Knicks for the tenth straight time in Quicken Loans Arena by the score of 98-90. They did so with their star Kyrie...

That six game stretch included a 16 point, 10 rebound, double/double during the first start of his NBA career against the Washington Wizards, as well as a four game back-to-back-to-back-to-back which no other player in the NBA or NBDL has completed this season besides Gody.

Carmelo Anthony Has A Slow Night As The New York Knicks Fall To The Cavaliers

Carmelo Anthony must be saving his talents for the Play-offs. Anthony only scored 12 points against a team that has been struggling defensively to say the least. At times this season the Cavaliers looked as though they completely for-gotten they were suppose to play defense. Not last night. The Knicks faced a Cavaliers team that somehow re-discovered how to play Basketball at the...

Box Score: Cavaliers 98, Knicks 90

I’m betting this version of the New York Knicks would prefer to never enter Quicken Loans Arena again. The Knicks lost their 10th straight in The Q as the Cavaliers looked much more focused and determined against a playoff team that had plenty more to lose.
