The red hot Cleveland Cavaliers travel to Miami to take on the Heat tonight. The Cavs coming off a red hot win over the World Champion Dallas Mavericks are playing great team basketball. Tonight the Cavaliers face the talented trio LeBron James Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The last time the Cavaliers played the Heat they lost 92-85. The Cavaliers played well, they just couldn’t close late in the game and the Heat took over in the fourth period.
This time things could be different. Guys like Anderson Varejao, Kyrie Irving and Alonzo Gee have stepped it up and are playing harder from the start as we witnessed against the Mavericks. The Cavaliers team defense came out in the first period of play and shut down the Mavericks on their first six attempts. The Cavaliers are going to have to play hard tonight in Miami and they have to keep playing hard for 48 minutes.
Coach Byron Scott has done an excellent job with his young team so far this season. Scott and his Cavaliers have had...

I'm absolutely shocked that I could find a picture of Perkins smiling. You know, I’ve always had trouble pinpointing exactly why I don’t like LeBron James because I actually do like showmanship and hype from great players – I used to love watching TO’s touchdown celebrations – so that’s not the reason I hate "King James". Luckily...

Byron Scott wants All-Star recognition for Anderson Varejao, Kyrie Irving, but won't beg: Cavaliers Insider
The Cavs have done some subtle promotion, but nothing like sending out IPods as one team did, loaded with highlights of a candidate.
Cavs simply the best. (Well, better than "all the rest")
The newest NBA Power Rankings are out from ESPN's Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine on Twitter.) The widely perceived to be yearlong doormat Cleveland Cavaliers are definitely gaining a little bit of respect in the NBA. I use both "little bit" and "respect" literally, since they are still flying under the radar, but seems like begrudgingly moving their way into the...
