It's not often the Cavaliers come close to losing to the Clippers, but that was the case on Saturday night. Fresh off a buzzer-beating loss to the Utah Jazz, the Cavaliers needed to handle business in Los Angeles, playing the "other team" that calls L.A. home.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that the Clippers were much more competitive vs. the Cavs than the Lakers were? (Remember Christmas Day?) Especially for a team who lost the overall #1 pick Blake Griffin to a season-ending knee injury.

LeBron scored 23 of his 32 points in the 2nd half, and the Cavaliers recovered from a double-digit defecit to win a thriller. In a game where the Cavs were down 10-0, missed their first 6 shots, and looked inept offensively, they would not let up. They remembered what it feels like to lose at the buzzer to a D-league player in Utah, and they weren't going to be embarrassed by arguably the biggest joke of an NBA franchise. LeBron and the Cavs fought hard to win this game, and it was a testament of Mike Brown's defensive philosophy that they were able to come back and win this game.

LeBron was proud of the Cavaliers, and the effort they put forth. "We did a great job rebounding and getting after loose balls," James said. "That's the thing about our team, we enjoy playing basketball."

I speak for the city of Cleveland when I say, "We enjoy watching you play basketball LeBron." Keep it up, another win should be in order tonight when they battle Chris Bosh and the Raptors at home. Keep it classy LeBron. LeBron James is underrated

The Cavs continued their impressive road streak Tuesday night, as they defeated the Golden State Warriors in a surprisingly close game.
LeBron scored 37, and held off a late rally by the Warriors to secure a victory for the Cavaliers.

So it's decided that that Cavaliers recent game with the Denver Nuggets didn't happen and/or count. There's no way the Cavaliers would lose to a team missing the NBA league leader in points per game, Carmelo Anthony. Seeing as how that didn't happen, let's move on.

The Portland Trail Blazers are the NBA's most injured team. They're missing top talent players including former Buckeye Greg Oden, yet they still manage to play tough night-in and night-out, led by Brandon Roy. So when the Cavs showed up Sunday night for a game on ESPN, you knew it was gonna be a battle. The Cavaliers came out of the gates quick and owned a 64-49 lead at half, led by the relentless attack of LeBron James. The Blazers did manage to come back and tie the game at 87, but when Jawad Williams and Mo Williams stepped up and made big shots late, the Blazers couldn't hang. This game also showed why Cleveland's big-men are the best combination of size and hustle in the league. The Cavaliers looked impressive, and LeBron was a force to be reckoned with.

LeBron was spectacular in this game. His first-half performance was amazing to watch, as he put in 31 points sparked by his 20 point 1st quarter. If he had wanted to, he could have easily dropped over 60, but since LeBron is the smartest player in the league, he decided to take what the defense gave him and trusted his teammates to hit big shots. Portland Coach Nate McMillan had high praise for James:

"LeBron was just unbelievable the first half. That first quarter, he was pretty much in attack mode. You normally don't make adjustments the first quarter. His 20 points came so fast. He had three possessions where we didn't get in front of him and he was at the rim. Then he hit some threes and, before you know it, he had 20 points. We wanted to double-team, but we couldn't get close to him."

Couldn't agree with you more Nate, you had no answer for The King in the 1st half. Big win for the Cavs. LeBron made the right decision pretty much the entire game. LeBron James is underrated

David Stern has spoken. Gilbert Arenas is suspended indefinitely, for not only bringing guns into an NBA arena, but also his failed attempt to make light of his situation.

Last night the Cavaliers dismantled the Washington Wizards, who were without guard Gilbert "The Arsenal" Arenas for the first of many nights to come. This game got out-of-hand early, and the final score 121-98 didn't even really do justice to how badly the Cavs pummeled the Wizards. LeBron had 23 points in only 30 minutes on the floor, adding 8 assists and 7 rebounds. Shaq also came to play, putting in 17 points in 17 minutes shooting 6/9 from the field.

Gilbert, you are not the brighest individual. Not only do you bring firearms into the Washington arena (rule violation), but you supposedly pulled them out and pretended to joke around with your teammates. Brilliant. Let's not forget that you lost a bet to your teammate, and you weren't man enough to pay up. Didn't you get a huge contract that you don't deserve? Pay your bets man. After you broke the law by bringing guns to the arena, you had the bright idea to laugh about it in the media, saying "I don't feel bad because I didn't do anything wrong." Not your best move, and then making hand guestures fake finger-shooting your teammates pregame didn't exactly help your case. I hope David Stern suspends you for the rest of the season, because you hurt the reputation of the league.

You know you're screwed when NBA stud/street-thug Stephen Jackson says, "Even I wouldn't be dumb enough to bring a gun to the arena." That's saying something, considering he ran into the stands to fight people during a game with Indiana, and popped off a few shots outside of some club a few years ago. You have to be dumb to break the law, then pretend it doesn't matter. Not that your team had a chance to beat the Cavs even if you were playing, but you really screwed your team considering you are going to be suspended for the next couple of months. Gilbert, why don't you take the lead of the NBA's real superstars, (like LeBron) and not be such an idiot. LeBron wouldn't bring guns into the Q, under any circumstances. Delonte West.. I'm not so sure.

Cavs need to follow up this win with another huge win in Denver tonight, facing Carmelo Anthony and a tough Nuggets team. Game starts at 10:30 and it's on ESPN. LeBron won't disappoint. LeBron James is Underrated

I hate the Charlotte Bobcats. They recently traded for Stephen Jackson, and their team is improving almost daily. Gerald Wallace has been playing light-out, and the Cavaliers ran into a trap game as they tried to extend their winning streak to 8 games. The Bobcats had other plans.

The combination of Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson, Flip Murray, and Borris Diaw is now recognized as one of the best in the league. The Bobcats won their second game against the Cavaliers this season, and ended our 7 game winning streak, including 11 in a row at home. The Bobcats had never won a game in Cleveland, but managed to end that streak by playing tough basketball in the Cavs homecourt.

I don't even really want to get into the specifics of the game, it's just one of those you chalk up as a loss and move on to the next one. Should be an interesting game tonight as the Washington Wizards come into town, in the middle of the guns-in-the-locker room scandal brought about by idiot Gilbert Arenas. The league should have already suspended him, and David Stern should come down hard. You are not allowed to bring even an unloaded gun into the locker room, or even in an NBA arena. So when Gilbert Arenas does just that, in addition to breaking D.C. gun laws, you shouldn't still be playing in the NBA for at least the time being. David Stern get it together. Look for a competitive game, but the Cavaliers should come away with a victory at home. LeBron doesn't allow 2-game home losing streaks. He respects the city of Cleveland more than that. LeBron James is underrated

On LeBron James' 25th birthday, he celebrated it the right way. LeBron was unstoppable from the field, dropping 48 points and snatching 10 rebounds to lead the Cavaliers to a 106-101 victory vs. the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks have been playing solid basketball and the Cavs had a tough task on Bron's birthday to beat them in back-to-back games.

Enter Anderson Varejao. The "Wild Thing" cashed in his first career 3 pointer, with the shot clock winding down in a tight game. No one could have expected this, especially in a game where the Cavaliers had to fight to get back into the game. LeBron said after the game, "That was a great gift. I had Andy in the holiday gift exchange and he paid me back. That's what friends are for." Anderson's shot was highly improbable and will be remembered for a long time.

You could tell LeBron enjoyed that one as he sprinted down the court and gave Varejao a huge man-hug to tell him thanks. Don't let Varejao's game-winner take away from what 23 did though. LeBron was on fire this game, hitting 15 of 23 shots he took, and also added 6 assists to his 10 boards and 48 points. He seemingly always flirts with triple-doubles and at some point in his career he will in-fact average a triple-double. LeBron doesn't need Anderson Varejao to knock down unlikely clutch 3 pointers but hey, we'll take what we can get. LeBron James is Underrated
