Cavs bury Suns 107-90, Zydrunas sets record for games played


In Shaq's first matchup with his team from last year, the Cavaliers destroyed the Phoenix Suns. Though Shaq played with Phoenix last year, this game was overshadowed by the record set by Zydrunas Ilgauskas for most games played as a Cavalier. Following the debacale on Saturday when Zydrunas was not inserted into the game, Z made an entrance early in the first quarter to a standing ovation from a Cleveland crowd that appreciates the work this man has put in. Zydrunas has been a staple in the Cavaliers offense for years, and has earned the respect of Cavs fans as a solid center in this league. He deserves this award, and in this game Big Z showed why Zydrunas Ilgauskas is underrated; He is a knock-down shooter from virtually anywhere on the floor. The Cavs rocked the blue and orange throwbacks, which are by far the coolest jerseys they will wear all season. This game actually made me want the Cavs to forget the new wine-and-gold, and go back to the utter bliss of the blue and orange coloway. Regardless of what uniform they have chosen to wear, the Cavs have been playing solid, and their growing chemistry and flow of ball-movement should scare any teams (Orlando, Boston) that have to contend with them in the East. Zydrunas is the man. Mo Williams is the consistent PG we need. Hickson and Gibson are stars on the rise. Shaq is the dominant force the Cavs have needed. LeBron James is underrated
