The Cleveland Cavaliers coasted to a 92-76 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. LeBron James scored 37 points and grabbed 9 boards to lead the Cavs, while Zydrunas Ilgauskas pitched in with 14. The Cavalier took control of the game in the fourth quarter and never looked back.

The Cavs were playing their first game without Larry Hughes, who suffered a sprained right ankle last Wednesday. Many of the top NBA teams are starting slow this season; the Cavaliers are not one of them. Cleveland has won their fifth straight game and is off to a 7-2 start.

LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 32 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists as they cruised to their fourth straight win, beating the Blazers 100-87. With the win, the Cavs improve to 6-2 on the season and 4-1 at the Q. Even the offensively challenged Eric Snow got into the act, scoring 13 points.

Unfortunately, Larry Hughes still can’t avoid the injuries. Hughes injured his leg in the second quarter as he was diving for a loose ball. However, X-ray’s were negative and it doesn’t appear to be serious.

It seems the Cavs are finally starting to get into rhythm after a tough stretch with the Bobcats and Hawks. They have scored 100 or more points in three of their last four games. The quality of opponents recently hasn’t been that great but the Cavs are beating the teams they should and are taking care of business.

The Cavaliers got a career night from Damon Jones and held on late for a 102-96 win against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden on Monday night. Jones was 7 of 10 in three-pointers and dropped 29 points off the bench. LeBron James also had 29 points.

The Cavs had to endure yet another slow start as they fell behind 10-2 early. In the end, they were able to get a good road win as they will come home for two straight games starting Wednesday.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were in the process of losing to the Atlanta Hawks and LeBron James was very frustrated. He missed a three point shot and as the other players ran down court, James starting walking to the bench. There was still a few seconds left on the clock, but WHO CARES!
James has never been accused of not playing hard in his short NBA career. He hustles, plays defense and does whatever it takes to win. I believe the media needs to stop looking for stories where there isn’t one. The Cavs are struggling, but it has nothing to due with effort. James is one of the classiest NBA stars and wants to win, lets LEAVE HIM ALONE.
