LeBron and Mo Williams were not about to allow the Cavaliers to lose 2 games straight again. Playing at home vs. the Mavericks and Dirk Nowitzki, the Cavs had their work cut out for them, but easily handled Mark Cuban's Mavericks and won going away 111-95. Anderson Varejao was the star of this particular outing, grabbing 9 rebounds while adding 15 points making all 7 shots he took. He was ALL OVER THE PLACE and the Mavericks had no answer for his intensity, who looked outmatched. Mo Williams was also huge in this game, making all SEVEN 3-point attempts. LeBron had a season-high 11 assists, and 25 points. After the game, Dallas guard Jason Terry admitted they were outplayed, "They were a step quicker. They moved the ball well and found their shooters in rhythm, ready to shoot the ball. We didn't do anything to divert what they were doing." The Cavs are starting to find their groove. When LeBron doesn't have to score most of the points, Cleveland is unbeatable. Billionaire Mark Cuban knows, LeBron James is underrated

Last night at the Time Warner Cable arena in Charlotte, the Cavaliers were outmatched by a well-put together Bobcats team that featured Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson. The Cavs looked out of sync in the first half, and could never put a decent offensive run together until very late in the fourth quarter. There were a few decent plays including a two-handed throwdown by LeBron and an alley-oop from Mo to Jamario. Overall however, the Cavs looked sloppy and even when they cut it to a 7 point game late in the fourth, they did not peform well-enough offensively to win this game. Maybe they thought they were going to roll over the Bobcats, but that was definitely not the case. Normally I wouldn't ever admit that LeBron got outplayed by anybody, but Gerald Wallace outplayed LeBron last night and scored 31 points against Cleveland. The Cavaliers look to bounce back and start another winning streak tonight in Dallas, against a tough Mavericks team led by Dirk Nowitzki. LeBron knows that losing 2 games in-a-row on the road is not acceptable, so look for the Cavaliers to come out of the gate fast. LeBron James is underrated

To be a true diehard Cavaliers fan, making the trip to the Palace at Auburn Hills when the Cavs play there is essential. Nowhere else can you see the hatred and disdain for LeBron James and Cleveland in such great light. As one of many Cavs fans who made the trip, I can truly say that I loved every minute of the beatdown that ensued, in an arena full of people who have to realize that the Cavs are by far the better team. Cleveland has been the nemesis that the Pistons just can't get past in the playoffs, and it doesn't look like they'll make it to the postseason this year. Two minutes into the game, LeBron was in the open court with his eyes towards the rim, and he threw down a ferocious dunk that seemingly silenced the Palace at Auburn Hills, and the multitude of pathetic Pistons fans adorning their overrated Ben Gordon jerseys. LeBron proceeded to drill jumper after jumper, while Boobie Gibson could not miss a shot from the floor. It was great night to be a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, and the 4 hour drive should never be a barrier to a real Cavs fan. You don't know how much the power the Cavaliers have until you watch a game on the road, and you see the other fans shake their heads as LeBron goes off offensively. Especially on the road, and especially in that state up North, LeBron James is underrated

Today LeBron James was named NBA player of the week for his performances between November 16th through November 22nd. In the four games he played, James averaged 34.3 points, which was good enough for best in the league. He was also the only player in the Eastern Conference to average over 30 points in all of his games last week. Don't forget the Cavs played 4 games in 5 nights, making this feat even more applaudable. This was the first time this year he won the player of the week award, and expect more to come.. He has 21 so far in his career already. Player of the week? More like player of the year, you might as well just give him the MVP right now. LeBron James is underrated

The Cavs improved their record to 10 wins and 4 losses after winning a surprisingly close game vs. the Philadelphia 76ers last night. Just another day at work for LeBron and Hickson as they overpowered Sixers and their fast-paced offense. It looked like it was going to be another blowout when the Cavs got another fast start, going up 20-6. But the resilient Sixers came back and battled Cleveland until the end. LeBron had three ridiculously impressive dunks, including one on a fast-break created by Hickson's block on the other end. Even though you have to give them credit for hanging around in this game, the thing to take away from this game is the dirty play of Elton Brand. He committed the cardinal sin in Cleveland against the King, when he knocked off his headband. You simply just don't knock the King's Crown off. LeBron was forced to play for several minutes without his headband and looked visibly uncomfortable. Consistently overmatched by J.J., he also resorted to fouls that could have possibly injured Hickson by pushing him in the chest mid-air. Elton Brand is one of the biggest busts of all time, and I hate to see him take out his career frustration against Hickson who is a rare talent. Philadelphia is not going to make the playoffs. Andre Igoudala is not having a good year, and Elton Brand is a dirty player. LeBron James is Underrated

LeBron James scored 40 points and the Cavaliers knocked off the Pacers last night in Indiana. This was a great win for the Cavs, who climbed from behind and outscored the Pacers 28-13 in the 4th quarter to win the game going away. You can't say enough about LeBron, who carried the squad and refused to let this game get away. It was clear to everybody in the building that LeBron had the hot-hand when he didn't miss a shot (7-7) and scored 16 points in the 1st quarter. We entered the 4th quarter down 5 points, but they picked up the intensity to a level that the Pacers could not match. There were many highlights, but LeBron's 3 to seal the deal is the moment to take away from this game. LeBron's 3-point shooting has been outstanding this season, and you can't deny that he is one of the most clutch players in the league. LeBron James is underrated

Late in the 4th quarter, LeBron James aka the Akron Hammer dunked the ball so hard with his left hand that he possibly injured his wrist. Last night was not a good game for Cleveland, who (without Shaq still) lost to the Wizards 91-108 in the nation's capital last night. The Cavs could not stop Antawn Jamison defensively who had 31 points and looked timid offensively as a whole team. There were however some amazing plays including several LeBron patented throw-downs and a ridiculous alley-oop to Jamario Moon, who alongside Hickson has played outstanding as of late. On FSN Ohio Fred McLeod and Austin Carr have both acknowledged the growing chemistry between LeBron and Hickson. The way they lost this game, plus LeBron's wrist injury will leave a sour taste in the Cavs' mouth as they travel to Indiana on Friday night and try to start another winning streak. Even without Shaq, the Cavs should be able to handle the Wizards. Hopefully this will better prepare them for future match-ups with Washington. LeBron doesn't like losing anywhere, especially in Washington D.C. LeBron James is underrated

Carlos Boozer is over-hyped and over-paid, and is a straight-up classless individual for leaving Cleveland the way he did. Last night LeBron and the Cavs showed Boozer why he shouldn't have ever left Cleveland; We actually have a team capable of winning an NBA Championship. The Cavaliers defeated Utah in Cleveland last night 107-103, with LeBron only scoring 21 points. J.J. Hickson played like a man-possessed, and outplayed Boozer consistently up and down the floor. Who needs Boozer anyways, (not the Cavs) he gets injured too often and cares more about the money than being on a championship team. Or maybe he felt that LeBron cast too big of a shadow and he wouldn't be the best player on the team. Newsflash Carlos: You aren't even the best player on the Jazz. Deron Williams is that guy, and he didn't play last night. Way to go Loozer, you play on a team that won't make a run in the playoffs. Congratulations. As for Hickson, the sky is the limit.. and LeBron is gaining more and more trust in him. Look for J.J. to continue starting, and make impact plays for the Cavs down the stretch. LeBron will always have the ball in his hands at the end of the game, and he always seems to make the right decision. Hickson is a beast. LeBron knows this. LeBron James is underrated

Last night following the Cavs win in Miami, LeBron James stated that he will not wear #23 next season. He instead will #6, his olympic number. His reasoning is simple, he wants to commemorate Michael Jordan, and thinks no one else should ever wear that number. The real question is, in what city will LeBron adorn the #6? (He doesn't answer) LeBron James is underrated

Last night in Miami, The Cavs took it to the Heat as LeBron scored 34 points and led the team to a solid victory. The Cavaliers played great basketball and even though Dwayne Wade and Miami kept it close, they were no match for the Cavs overwhelming defense at the end of the game. Now I have to admit, Anderson Varejao got posterized when D-Wade dunked on him in the first quarter, but LeBron had a nasty dunk too with two hands. This was a statement game for LeBron and the Cavs, who improved their record to 6-3. Offensively we are looking much better in both transition and the half-court, and the offense is starting to flow much smoother. You all have heard the rumors recently of Dwayne and LeBron possibly playing together next season, but don't read too much into it. LeBron wants to play for a championship contender, which the Heat don't resemble at the moment. That's just a media creation trying to latch onto something that's not there. For what it's worth, LeBron made some interesting comments following the game regarding Michael Jordan and the #23.. LeBron James is underrated

The Cavs got sweet revenge Wednesday night when they beat the Orlando Magic in Orlando. The team that bounced Cleveland from the playoffs last year in the Eastern Conference finals was no match for Shaq and LeBron as the Cavs cruised to an easy victory. Shaquille O' Neal effectively matched Dwight Howard and Mo Williams scored 22 points on 9 of 9 shooting in the first half. They started off fast and never looked back. Dwight Howard was called for two quick fouls early on, and he did not play for the rest of the first quarter. The Magic did not look good and defensively gave up a ton of easy baskets. Shaq held his own in one-on-one situations vs. Howard, and the Cavs simply put on an offensive show that had the makings of a blowout. This year is quite different from the last, as the Cavs have an inside presence in Shaq and more consistent outside shooters as Parker, Williams, and Gibson are all shooting the 3-point ball with good accuracy. 36 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists.. LeBron James is still underrated

The Cavs defeated the New York Knicks on Friday night, 100-91. The final score was not an accurate depiction of the beatdown that the Cavaliers delivered the Knicks. LeBron James scored 33 points, had 9 rebounds, and dished out 8 assists. LeBron definitely enjoyed the star-studded crowd, which included several Yankees players, Chris Rock, Jay-Z, and John Legend just to name a few. The Cavs went up early in this game and never looked back. The whole night the stupid ESPN announcers kept talking about LeBron's potential future in New York. Clearly, they did not see the team the Knicks had on the court. LeBron has said recently that he doesn't care about the money (he'll demand a max-contract wherever he goes), that he cares more about winning. If he is being honest when he says that, then there is no chance he would go to New York. They are an awful NBA franchise at the moment, and the team they put out on the floor is not worthy of an NBA roster. When an ESPN reporter ignorantly asked comedian Chris Rock if he would be glad to see LeBron in a Knicks Jersey, Rock responded the way any true Knicks fan would. "Of course I'd love to see LeBron in a Knicks uniform.. at this point I'd like to see ANYONE in a Knicks uniform. When Al Harrington is your go-to offensive threat, you're in trouble." New York is not a franchise that LeBron should consider after this year if he is serious about winning a championship anytime soon. The Cavs are sort of legit.. the Knicks, not so much. LeBron James is underrated

The Cavs lost their second home game last night to Chicago 86-85, mainly because of a terrible no-call on the final drive of the game by LeBron James. It wasn't a pretty game, and the truth of the matter is that the Cavs shouldn't have played down to the Bulls level. In addition Derrick Rose only had 14 points. Regardless, LeBron had the ball in his hands at the end of the game, and drove left towards the basket. What happened next was the worst no-call in the history of Cleveland sports. The referee failed to see the clear assault by Joakim Noah on LeBron's elbow. It was so obvious that he didn't block the ball cleanly, and also ran into James' body, while he was busy smacking LBJ's arm. Even though the Cavs allowed them to hang around, the game should have been won on the two free throws that LeBron would have made if the proper foul was called. I hate poor officiating and I hate to see it affect the end result of a game. How do you not make that call? We should have won if not for the blind man wearing a black and white jersey. LeBron James is underrated

Rivalry? What Rivalry? When LeBron was asked last night what he thought about the supposed "rivalry" between the Cavs and the Wizards, his response (or lack there of) said it all. He thought about it for a second, smiled at the reporters, and didn't respond. Pretty much that said it all.. LeBron could care less about the Wizards and doesn't even recognize the "Rivalry" that doesn't exist.
Which brings me to the game. The Cavs started off sloppy and ended up down 39-21 late in the first quarter. Then the Cavs simply pressed the "try" button and turned the defecit into a sizable lead by the 4th quarter. LeBron played well and Shaq had his coming out party, while the Cavs cruised to a 102-90 victory. The Wizards seemed to lose their confidence as the game went on, and they never regained their swag. The two best plays of the game came from Shaquille O' Neal on defense. The first was a hard foul on "Soulja Boy" DeShawn Stevenson, which knocked him hard to the floor.. enough said. It only could have been better if Shaq did the "can't see me" hand guesture that Stevenson popularized. The next play was a block Shaq had on Mike Miller. Miller drove hard to the lane and went flying up for a layup when Shaq's right hand met the ball and Miller before he got to the basket. The result was a bullshit foul but Shaq made his point. Miller almost fell to the ground and The Cavs domination of the Wizards was complete. Even the Wizards know, LeBron James is underrated

LeBron can't be stopped, you can only hope to contain him. This weekened the Cavs defeated both the Timberwolves and Bobcats (whoop-de-doo). In the Minnesota game the Cavs actually looked pretty good offensively, and they played well throughout the entire game. The Cavs needed these wins desperately after the 0-2 start, and these wins should give them something to build on for the month of November. Here's my favorite play from the Bobcats game where Z blocks the shot, Delonte saves it, and LeBron hooks up Varejao for the finish. It was the NBA.com play of the day. LeBron James is underrated
