The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially getting tired. After losing a game that they could have easily won in Washington, the Cavs allowed a depleted Golden State Warriors team to come into the Q and beat them. Lebron James led the Cavs with 33 and they had 5 guys in double figures. Once again, it was Cleveland’s inability to stop its opponent defensively down the stretch that cost them the victory. Cleveland will need to play with more confidence and finesse if they want that critical fourth playoff spot.

Thad Matta is proving that it’s his coaching and not just his recruiting that will bring the Ohio State basketball program to the next level. Tonight, Matta and the Buckeyes went into the “state up north” and put a sound beating on the Wolverines. Ohio State offset a poor rebounding night with an unbelievable night from the 3-point line by hitting 15-24 from behind the arc. These types of road victories are tough to come by in the Big Ten this year and displays just how much Matta has changed the Ohio State basketball program.
I recently caught myself reading articles on the Cleveland Indians and constantly saying “we are building a winner”. It’s cheap and less risky to continue building a winning team. The expensive and challenging part is maintaining one. The Indians (Dolan) are always focused on the future. The batting average for Coco Crisp against competitive teams was huge and he always stepped up in the key situation. The same can’t and shouldn’t be said for Aaron Boone or Casey Blake.
The Boston Red Sox want to win now, hence they didn’t ask for either one of them. The Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert, is out spending money and creating an entertaining and competitive franchise. Mr. Dolan, if you can hear all of us baseball fans, “win now”, before all the young talent you have leaves for big money or start to slide. We need to start saying this is year, and not next year in this town!
On a night when Cleveland fans were bitter after watching a Super Bowl that the hated Steelers had won(were given), the Cavaliers gave us something to cheer about. LeBron James and the Cavs had just blown a 10 point lead and the Milwaukee Bucks had the ball with a chance to win the game. Michael Redd, a once loved Ohio guy had the ball and was driving for the winning score.
Surprise, Anderson Varejao stepped in front of Redd and took the charge. Cleveland then perfectly executed an inbound play to Donyell Marshall for the dunk and yes, football is over and basketball has begun. The timing for this game was perfect and the results were surprisingly positive. Cleveland, get on your feet and support this team.
We are forming a successful organization here and they deserve the support.
Jim Tressel went against the grain with the 2006 recruiting class. The majority of Tressel’s recruits generally reside in the Buckeye State. This year he recruited 10 from Ohio and 10 from out of state. There were only 2 highly rated players that OSU lost. One went to Michigan (his father was a graduate) the other went to Virginia Tech (he will learn that was a mistake). Ohio State was again very heavy in the linebacker area, slowly replacing Penn State as “Linebacker U”. The stats on the class are very impressive and you have to wonder why they didn’t get a higher ranking by the experts. I believe that one thing worth noting is Tressel’s comment that his goal is a team GPA of 3.0 for the year. We need to remember that our National Championship team won with ability and knowledge, a mix that Coach Tressel looks for in all his players.
