Brian Windhorst of the Akron Beacon Journal has an interesting article on DJ. You know the old saying about leopards and their spots, virtually the same goes for NBA veterans. The book on Damon Jones was penned years ago; now the Cavaliers are reading its dog-eared pages. Jones is giving them exactly what they thought […]

Ron Artest now wants to stay
Ron Artest doesn’t want to be traded by the Pacers after all, his agent says. Artest said last weekend that his past in Indiana haunts him, and he is interested in being traded to the Knicks or Cavaliers. But Mark Stevens, Artest’s agent, told the Associated Press on Saturday that Artest holds out hope he […]
Cavs Make it Two in a Row
LeBron James scored 41 points, and Donyell Marshall added a season-high 25 to help the Cleveland Cavaliers hold off Miami 115-107 on Saturday night.

Tyronn Lue helped the Atlanta Hawks record a most improbable winning streak. Lue scored a season-high 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting off the bench as the Hawks handed the Cleveland Cavaliers a seventh loss in nine games, 100-94. “It’s all about those guys in the locker room,” Atlanta coach Mike Woodson said. “They’ve been busting […]
Cavaliers lose to Nets
A couple of interesting observations from the Q Friday night; Jay-Z and Beyonce were sitting in the front row enjoying the game and I might add were not very crowd friendly, ignoring everyone around them, much to the displeasure of the many fans hoping for at least an acknowledgement. At one point during one of […]

Jordan over Ehlo Misses?
While some Chicago Bulls fans might cringe at Gatorade’s recent commercial where Michael Jordan’s famous buzzer-beater against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1989 NBA playoffs misses, Craig Ehlo doesn’t seem to mind. In reality, Jordan hit the shot over Ehlo and celebrated while Ehlo fell to the floor in defeat. In the commercial, Jordan misses […]
