What Do The Cavs Do Now?

Sun, 31 May 2009 21:05:31 -0500

This is not how it was supposed to go. The Cavs were destined to make the Finals and face the Lakers, with LeBron turning in a fantastic Game 7 performance in front of his loyal fans at the Q to bring the city of Cleveland its first championship since 1964. With a title already under his belt, and a few more on the horizon, he would happily re-up for another four or five seasons...

The Chosen One Drains Trey At Buzzer Cavaliers Win 96-95; Series Tied At 1-1

Fri, 22 May 2009 23:30:25 -0500

“Cavaliers Nation’s” worst fear had materialized on Friday night; the Cleveland Cavaliers had again blown a double digit lead to the Orlando Magic and after a 15-4 Orlando was leading in the fourth quarter 86-84. The Cavaliers would grab the momentum as Mo Williams put them ahead 89-86. However Mickael Pietrus tied the game at 93-93 draining a trey with 40 seconds on the clock.

To Infinity And Beyond! Cavaliers In Conference Finals; Sweep Hawks

Mon, 11 May 2009 22:02:10 -0500

And the beat goes on......Led by not their best game, but a good enough effort, the Cavaliers are headed back to the Eastern Conference Finals, this after a dispatching of the Atlanta Hawks, 84-74 to finish off another 4-0 sweep. It’s the second straight sweep for a team that seems like a shoe-in for a trip to the Finals.

Cavaliers Get Out The Brooms, Sweep Pistons With 99-78 Win

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 20:57:36 -0500

The Detroit Pistons have been a staple in the Eastern Conference Finals the past couple of seasons, but this season, they will have something new - an extended summer vacation. Sunday afternoon at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the Cavaliers put the Pistons out of their 2008-09 misery, topping them with their fourth straight dominant [...]

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 23:24:32 -0500

The Notorious Cavs rap song, set to the tune of the Notorious BIG and Bone Thugs and Harmony callabo-classic Notorious Thugs, is more than just a catchy tune. The song and video of Notorious Cavs illustrate the new winning mentality in Cleveland.

Cavaliers Ticket Prices Will Remain Unchanged

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:54:52 -0500

Not long ago, we discussed the fact that the Browns are not raising their prices for the upcoming football season. Citing the economic hardships (and likely realizing the on-field under performance), the 2009 football season will cost just as much as that of 2008 - hopefully, with less emotional letdown. And while the Cavaliers' product is considerably better than that of the Browns, coupled with an owner that will be paying a considerable amount of money in luxury tax next season, the...

Mo Williams Snubbed?.Again

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:00:20 -0500

Can Mo Williams catch a break? Not only did he not make the all star team over the Magic's Jameer Nelson the first time around, but now with Nelson down, Commissioner David Stern has overlooked the Cavaliers Point Guard yet again; this time, for a third Celtic. Straight from the NBA offices in New York: BOSTON'S RAY ALLEN TO REPLACE ORLANDO'S JAMEER NELSON IN 2009 NBA ALL-STAR GAME

Fourth Quarter Surge Pushes Cavaliers Past Pistons 90-80

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 21:49:18 -0500

LeBron James scored a game high 33 points, and Mo Williams added 22 more as the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Detroit Pistons Sunday at the Palace of Auburn Hills 90-80. Cleveland trailed heading into the fourth quarter, but they picked up their defensive intensity, as well as their offense in the final 12 minutes to win the contest. Pistons guard Allen Iverson led his club with 22 points, the loss puts Detroit only 4 games over the .500 mark, and just 3.5 games ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Central Division.

Mo Williams gamble paying off...so far.

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 16:11:15 -0500

With LeBron James on the bench to start the fourth quarter, Mo Williams led the Cavs on a 13-0 run that pushed Cleveland past Dallas, 100-81. How's this for a stretch of possessions to open the fourth quarter of a close game: Long jump shot, longer jump shot. Feed a teammate for a layup, then swish another jumper. Get another assist, then nail a 3-pointer from so deep that your defender walks away saying, "Whooo." (Read the rest after the jump.)

Delonte West Returns

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:41:01 -0500

It's always a bit intriguing when a team or player cites "personal reasons" for being absent; especially when the player will not talk to the media following his return. After his not being present in the most recent preseason game, I had a few inquiries as to whether or not I thought Delonte was unhappy with his recently-signed contract. Another was wondering if West was perhaps on the trading block now that we had his rights...

Are We Okay With "Contending?"

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:46:54 -0500

In reading Terry Pluto's recent piece, it is uplifting to hear favorable words about the upcoming NBA season. Partially due to the fact that we have the best player in the league, and others because we have come so far over the past four years. Here's a prediction: The Cavaliers will not let the fans down this season. Well, that is definitely a relief. Somewhat. On a case-by-case basis, it may be something that is tough to gauge. But in the same, is not winning an NBA title eno...

Welcome Aboard Mo Williams

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:29:45 -0500

The Cleveland Cavaliers finally pull off a trade to bring in another offensive threat to compliment LeBron James. First off, welcome back Brian Windhorst! Seriously, this is how you come back and make a splash. BW is reporting that the Cavaliers are set to complete a 3 way trade that will bring in Mo Williams from the Milwaukee Bucks. The most important part of this trade is that it does not involve Delonte West....

The Cleveland Cavaliers may have found LeBron's sidekick? Mo Williams.

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 01:12:16 -0500

This is one of those rumor-of-a-rumor stories, but the Cavs could be talking with the Bucks about point guard Mo Williams. "A league source said the Cavs might be pursuing Bucks point guard Mo Williams. All the details aren't known, but the Cavs, Bucks and Oklahoma City (formerly Seattle) are reportedly involved."
