Two losses in a row, both on the road, with Sacramento coming up. We could go 0-3 on the road trip.
When the Cavs lose, here’s what happens. The opponent comes out of the locker room in the 1st quarter firing away. If they’re shooting hot, they take a big lead early. If they’re not shooting hot, they exploit the Cavs weak interior defense, and still build a big lead. Cavs stabilize too late, end up losing. That’s the book on the Cavs. That means it’s a defensive problem from the tip-off.
These 10.30 tip times are tough. You either watch the game at a bar and end up getting hammered, or you have to force yourself to stay awake at home. Combining them with a weekend night is always good…I watched last night’s game at Southside with Larry, said hammering occurred. But I’m no longer capable of the back-to-back 10.30 tip time hammered thing. Glad I got that nap in during the USC-UCLA game.
Cavs let one get away last night. The way Lebron played in the first quarter, I was a bit perturbed to see the offense drift toward other players. Another late game tonight. This is a pretty big one…I’m worried they’ll go 0-3 on the road trip.
The snow is just pouring down in Tremont today, which would be kinda cool, except that ESPN just re-ran the 1987 AFC Championship game, and the weather outside today is a bit too close to the weather at Cleveland Stadium on that day. Why do they have to run that game all that time? Here’s an idea…whenever ESPN wants to re-run that game, how about they black it out in the Cleveland area?
That seems a bit extreme.
The festivities did not include retiring Free’s No. 21, which he and many fans have wanted for years… “I look at the names up there and I say to myself, ‘It would be an honor to be in the rafters with them,’ ” Free said. “I helped revamp a franchise that was dead, completely dead. If you can do something like that, you deserve to be up there.”
I like World. I remember a time when you really couldn’t see many Cavs games on TV, and all you had was Joe Tait making those amazing calls on the radio, World B. Free right in the middle of it.
But gimme a break. World B. Free did not “revamp” anything. What brought the Cavs back to life was the draft that brought Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, and Ron Harper to Cleveland. World B. Free was a great shooter on a pretty poor team.
