Catching up on Cavalier Brilliance (Delonte dunks on Josh Smith?)

So we've been away for a few days, and the Cavs have been doing work. Since December 25th Christmas beatdown of the Lakers, the Cavs have continued their tear through a tough road trip, and extended their winning streak to 6.

First up was a trip to Houston to faca a tough Rockets team, who you should remember beat the Cavs in their last meeting. The Cavs won 108-83, and LeBron had 29 points and 6 assists in 30 minutes. This game was close at halftime but when the Rockets started bricking every shot they took, the Cavs pounced and it wasn't even a contest.

Coming up after the blow-out in Houston was this Tuesday, when the Cavs played the first game of a back-to-back away/home series with the Hawks on consecutive days. This game was ugly, but the Cavs resurged in the second half led by Delonte West and LeBron. This was the Hawks game to win, but the Cavaliers defensive effort in the fourth quarter was something to behold, and they simply would not allow the Hawks to settle in offensively. The best play of this game came when Delonte West drove down the court with shot-blocker Josh Smith hot on his trail. In case you haven't been watching the Cavs recently, Delonte West has been sick, throwing down dunks that are top-play worthy of Sportscenter highlights. Josh Smith landed himself #7 on ESPN's top-plays, as he was posterized/ by Delonte in a beautiful display of dunksmanship. In summation: Delonte resembles Vince Carter, Cavs win 5th straight in a row, including 5/6 on the road, and Cavs clamp down in 4th quarter to shut down tough Hawks team. LeBron loves playing for Cleveland. Cleveland loves LeBron. LeBron James is Underrated
