Not the ideal start to the road trip
I thought this game was headed to overtime.
Trailing 102-100 with eight seconds left in the game, Kyrie Irving went the length of the floor and hit the game tying layup, leaving just seven tenths of a second on the clock. With that little time left, I figured that we were going to get an extra five minutes of the Cavs not guarding Mike Dunleavy (29 points, 10-12 FG, 6-7 3pt).
Nope.
Brandon Jennings (perhaps aided by a hometown clock keeper?) came around a screen, caught the inbounds pass and nailed a 28 footer as time expired. The Cavs defended it pretty well, but sometimes you gotta just tip you cap. Clock shenanigans or no, Jennings hit a big time shot and the Cavs started their six game road trip in the most heart breaking of ways.
Kyrie Irving paced the Cavs with 27 points (10-18 FG, 7-8 FT), Anderson Varejao finished with 20 points and 17 boards, and four of the five Cavalier starters finished in double figures (and the fifth, Tristan Thomp...

The Cleveland Cavaliers took a strong beating by the Chicago Bulls, the Bulls must have still been mad about the loss they took from Cleveland in the preseason. It was Andy Varejao stealing the show once again for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Varejao is showing it is good to be back in action for head coach Byron Scott and his Cavs team. Varejao led the way with 12 points and 5 rebounds...

Donald Sloan gets warned for most hilarious flop ever

That's Donald Sloan of the Cleveland Cavaliers, with maybe the most hilarious flop I've ever seen. The arms up while spinning will be a great audition for the Cavs community theater production of The Sound of Music.
But as funny as it is, it's a no-no in today's NBA, even though it wasn't called. So Sloan got a little warning from the league as part...

Your Milwaukee Bucks are 2-0 to start the season for the first time in about 5 years. Brandon “Swizel Stick” Jennings hit a three ball at the buzzer to send the Bucks to a 105-102 victory.
Kind of an interesting game for the Bucks. The first unit wasn’t really thriving all night, but the second unit (udrih, Udo, Dunleavy, etc) stepped up big and rallied the Bucks back into...

Comments after losses are usually pretty depressing. I have to say, I kind of like Bucks fans. They seem like a decent bunch who have been used to cheering for a losing team and seemed quite surprised by this win. Not much hate for the Celtics like there is in a lot of fan bases either. So, in spite of the loss, these comments aren't all that bad. Hopefully tonight we get...

-Andy. Wow. 13,15, 4 and shooting 64%. We all had fun with the fact we were passing off Antawn Jamison and Anthony Parker as “veteran leaders” last year. I couldn’t imagine a player playing that role any better than a guy like Andy. Just relentless and a joy to...

Young Cavs give reason to take notice now
Think about this: Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters are both 20 years old.
Then think about this: The Cavaliers could be 3-1 right now.
Then consider this: The Clippers were coming off a home loss to Golden State facing a very young Cavs team and back on their own floor.
Yet the Cavs won anyway, 108-101, in a fun and up-and-down game Monday that featured something resembling playoff...
