despite the results of the first game to the celtics and our first lost at home. this is goin to be a special year for us! i just feel it, something in the air!! well we looked flat our first game its okay, we'll get the kinks worked out. lebrons shot is stroking, shaq is still a beast and were just trying to figure out the best rotations.
i really hope delonte comes back soon we really need him, his spark, his versatility, his basketball ability. i think him and MO really thrived off each other and it will be great to see him out there. we got 3 more games this week against sub-par teams so i think it will be a great time to get all the kinks worked out and i think we will. we'll be 3-1 at the end of this week it will be okay!

well it has already been about 3 months since we've seen our cavaliers in action. and we already have less than a month til training camp begins, which means around a month until our first pre-season game!! :) i cannot wait to see what our team brings to the table. with our new acquistions, i think we will finally get over the hump and get that title we deserve! i cannot wait to see danny green play, ive heard only good things about him, i watched him alittle it at UNC, havent really seen alot about him but from what i hear he can be our trevor ariza in playoff time!! ha that would be great, i cant wait to get leon powe back. i know hes injury prone, but when he is healthy he is a beast and is going to be a great addition to this team. the only thing is that he is very seriously injury prone, i watched the mcdonalds high school game last night with him and bron and they were sayin how he was just coming back from a serious injury then too. so it shows that when he gets hurt he will be out for awhile lol. hopefully this is his last serious injury for some time and he stays with us for some time.
i cannot wait til the first game vs. Celts in the Q!! that game is goin to be off the hook!!! the crowd is going to be insane, MO, Bron are goin to be so excited and focused. then the addition of Shaq-diesel will only excite the crowd even more and were gonna spank the Celts. I hope Shaq plays like he did last year with the Suns, although he seems very focused this offseason to get in really good shape which only vows good news for us and bad news for the rest of the league! i really hope to get to atleast 2 games this year. thats the most ive been to in one season, so i think im gonna try for 3 games this year!!
well im just super excited for this season just like most of u are im sure. LETS GO CAVS!!!
so i would say although we havent gotten our #1s this offseason still has been a success. started off with the acquistion of the big shaqtus which is gonna change our makeup in so many positives way i believe. then we had the surprise #30 pick with christian, who looks like hes gonna be a freak when given the chance! he looks insanely athletic and i bet will create sucha spark off the bench like jj did last year and boobie did a few years back. then we snagged danny green in the second round, who can be a seriously sleeper and maybe who knows come up big for us in the playoffs or any important games which his abilities. then we signed anthony parker, who will fit in great here! yeah we were goin after ariza and artest before him, but with all that he brings to the table it will be great to see what he does. now were on the verge of signing another great pickup with jamario moon. hes gonna be a great addition as well, as he can defend and he has insane ups as well. we got very athletic this offseason, and jamario will compliment lebron great. plus he has a decent outside shot. yeah i would say that we still our alittle weak with the bigs that can stretch the floor, but we got some great pickups and with them we can move lebron to the #4 alot more and create problems with other teams and we'll finally have the upper hand.
i give ferry and Co. an A so far. i would say we can be done after signing moon, but u never know with ferry hes tryin to make this team as best as possible. and hes doin a great job of it so far! keep it up ferry!!
although our ultimate goal for the season came up short, we can never forget this sesaon! we broke so many team records and a few nba records! LeBron was finally named MVP, Mike Brown COTY, and Mo Williams got what he deserved in finally being named to the all-star team after being snubbed three times! we saw maybe of the greatest chemistry teams put together, these guys had so much fun with one another. we welcomed joe smith back with open arms, pretty much giving up damon jones for an all-star in MO gotti! we have so many records we can talk about, but dont need to get into that. we saw delonte and andy have career years, well we can even through LeBron and Mo in that mix as well. We saw one of the greatest home performances in history with an astounding 39-1 record (yeah im not countin the last home game).
it was a sad ending to the season, I for one am still in alittle bit of a depression and i was for quite sometime after that. It didnt help that my so called friends loved to talk **** to me, when some of them dont even follow basketball so they should just keep their mouths shut! but its okay, it just adds fuel to the already lit flame for me and for the Cleveland Cavaliers. if you fall, get up and try again! thats what were gonna do, next year each member of the team will raise their game and help us push over that hill and get to what is ours! That Larry O'Brien trophy is ours next year!
i am interested to see what this off-season brings. I expect us to get a big man that can move alittle. I kinda hope we do a trade and trade away our pick, because honestly do we really need a young guy to come in right now. not like hes gonna get any playing time, especially if its who all the mock drafts are talking about us gettin a SF. i believe we have somebody to fulfill that position, i forget his name though, ill try to remember it, last name is James or something like that. but i just dont think we need another rookie this year, instead use it to get a big man and help us get over that hill to our trophy and have LeBron stay in Cleveland for life. as that what most of the things we do in the organization is for, is for LeBron.
ok so rough start to the ECF. we lose in the last seconds, and it might look like the second week layoff might have dragged us alittle. i loved the intensity we had at the beginning, MO and Bron got the crowd so excited in the first half. but where was it the second half? i think we got way too comfortable and thought we had the game, and soon enough the magic were right back in it. we didnt play our normal defense, we allowed dhoward 30 pts and we defended the 3 alright but could have done a better job. we tried to close out on a lot of them but were just a few steps late. we allowed a lot of easy buckets in the 4th quarter. whats wrong with the bench?! joe smith has shown up occassionally and i think wally had one double digit game and thats it! we need our bench to REALLY step it up if we want to advance. i expect a completely different effort from our guys tomorrow and for the rest of the series. but the most important thing is coming in focused tomorrow and not worry about game 1 or game 3!
i expect d.west and MO to get it going this game, i think lebron will look to score early and then second half set up the guys. i think thats the formula we can use. i dont know y lebron went away from the game plan in the first quarter. in the beginning he was gettin everybody involved and they were heating up and then he started scoring. yeah it looked good because we got a good lead but the time the second half rolled around the magic had a different game plan which worked. we really need to contain hedo next game, cant allow him to get so many assists to get other guys going. i just think we will work on closing out on the 3s today and hopefully come with a different mentality for tomorrow!
