(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. He did not write this but he did write the post prior to this one….)
I’ve had a couple of days to get over the Bulls demoralizing defeat at the hands of the Nets on Wednesday and I think I’m finally able to start to think about […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he would’ve written it, if it wasn’t for those pesky kids.)
Cleveland fans aren’t in the best of moods right now. The Tribe is playing its first home games in Milwaukee since Major League (though they won last […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he would probably be too upset to write coherently right now anyway.)
Let’s see if I have this right. There were only two games on the NBA slate Thursday night. In our first game we had Cleveland, the second seed […]

We’ve all been waiting for that day when Denver’s Linas Kleiza breaks out, and lasterday night it finally happened.
Linas scored 29 points, helping the Nuggets send the Lakers to their 7th straight loss. It also bumped DEN into the 6th playoff spot, which means the Lakers are now the 7 seed.
(Are there three more […]

The 2007 Atlantic Division is, of course, one of the top ten worst things to ever exist on planet earth (Modern Era). It lies somewhere after Hitler and before “Family Guy”.
That said, the Toronto Raptors are determined to get the division off that list, and their climb back to .500, which was accomplished last night […]

One of the tiny little overlooked deals of the offseason was the shuttling of JR Smith from the Hornets to the Bulls, who immediately reshuttled him to the shooting guard starved Denver Nuggets for a second round pick or something.
The two teams met up to play a basketball game last night, and JR, who’s assumed […]

As the Cavaliers rolled over the Trailblazers last night and continued their “best record in the East” thing, we periodically checked the score of Pistons v Hornets, just to make sure we could wake up this morning and still say “we told you so”.
Detroit loses at home to NO/OKC, and looks disjointed and uninspired doing […]

The early read of the standings is mighty confusing this season, and perhaps no part more so than the Portland Trailblazers sitting at 4-2.
Yep, that’s where they are after 6 games (4+2=6!), the fourth victory coming last night over the Hornets. (also quick starters at…4-2.)
The catalyst behind this quick start?
None other than one-time hotel-patron Zach […]

The second random Awesome Award must go to the unbelievable Atlantic Division, which barely beat out Kristen Bell in short shorts.
How is the Atlantic Division awesome?
1) Every single team is undefeated. How often does that happen this late in the season?
2) Seriously - look at those winning percentages. The Knicks are a game and […]

There’s only one word to describe the power of the Northwest Division, and that word is awesome. It is so awesome, in fact, that we’ve created the Awesome Award, which may or may not ever be given out again, depending on the worthiness of other possible awesome events, people, or divisions.
Here are the 5 […]
