Tariq Ali — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 11:28:39 +0000

The Cavaliers owner didn’t wait long to issue a very strong statement calling Lebron’s action during the free agency and his “decision” as “cowardly betrayal”. He went also to promise Cavaliers fans an NBA championship before the self-proclaimed “king” get one.

What Have We Learned During “LeBron-a-Palooza”?

David Friedman — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 01:42:25 +0000

Until the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinal series between Boston and Cleveland, I had always been very impressed not only with LeBron James’ obvious athletic gifts but also with his work ethic and the way that he seemed to be mature beyond his years. James seemed to “get it”: James avoided off court trouble, did not disrespect his coaches and teammates and he worked very hard to improve his main skill set weaknesses (defense, perimeter shooting, free throw shooting). James evolved from … [visit site to read more]

David Friedman — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 14:28:00 +0000

The Cleveland Cavaliers began the 2009 playoffs by sweeping the Detroit Pistons, a Central Division rival who they had faced in two competitive playoff series in 2006 and 2007; this year, the Cavs’ postseason journey also starts with a battle against a Central Division foe—the Chicago Bulls, a franchise that tormented the Cavs by eliminating Cleveland from the playoffs five times between 1988 and 1994. Chicago eked out a pair of 3-2 triumphs in 1988 and 1989 but by the end of that era the … [visit site to read more]

Shaq: The “Big Bill Cartwright”

David Friedman — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:45:30 +0000

Shaquille O’Neal has many nicknames, several of which he has bestowed upon himself, including the “Big Aristotle” and the “Big Deporter” (coined after his Lakers eliminated several playoff teams that started foreign-born players at center). In order for the Cavaliers to maximize their chances to win a championship this year, O’Neal may have to turn into the “Big Bill Cartwright.”

That comparison may sound like an insult to future Hall of Famer O’Neal but it is not insulting … [visit site to read more]

Lebron James scored 34 points including the final eight points over the last 2:42. Dwyane Wade had 36 but wasn’t enough to rally his team from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

The two superstars did not disappoint. James was 8-for-20 from the floor, and 16-of-18 from the stripe, and a game-high seven assists, and four rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot. Wade’s matched James almost in every category, going 9-for-21 from the floor and 15-for-21 from the line en route to a … [visit site to read more]
