2003 Draft Classmates LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony continue their invisible rivalry tonight at the Q when the Nuggets come to town.  Denver has own the series the past 5 seasons going 8-2 against Cleveland.  The Cavs are a different team nowadays, however, and I look forward to the challenge of turning it around starting tonight.

Can the Cavaliers' winning ways continue??

So who’s Linas Kleiza? I don’t believe that’s an actual name.

The best thing probably is to hit [Grady] 2nd -- Jay

You’d think…

I had never heard of him until last year…He blew up a bit and had a solid season, especially early…

Big game tonight…..is it me or do all these games seem like big games this year, like the Cavaliers are taking them more seriously so I feel like they are bigger as well?

This is looking like an 80s Nuggets game…

148-145…The Dan Issel days.

The Nuggets are shooting well from the outside, but alot of the Cavs baskets are at the hoop. I like the Cavs chances to clamp down defensively.

Cavs will hold the Nuggets under 22 in the 2nd quarter….

Chauncey will cool off, right?

Please put back the offense where we move and pass, instead of chucking bad 3s.

by JulioBernazard on Nov 13, 2008 7:50 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Mo Willy totally telegraphed that pass.

Waaaaaay too many easy buckets for DEN.

I agree…..And there should be no situation that J.J. Hickson doesn’t hustle back on defense…..

Nail his butt to the bench if that happens.

Just like most nights against Western Conference teams, the Cavs have allowed themselves to be baited into a transition game…

Even the halfcourt D is looking lackluster.

Where’s the D?

New Rule…

I would take anyone from the Nuggets as a FA because they all look so comfortable at the Q!

LeBron’s insurance commercial was great!

I ran some halftime stats

The Cavs offensive efficiency was a stellar 126.8, but their defensive efficiency was 133.4.

I think the second half will be considerably different than the first was.

Cavs have no answer for Billups who looks re-energized by the trade….

So much for the 3rd quarter blahs….

Cavs outscore Denver 31-20 in the 3rd, easily their biggest Dif in a 3rd Q this year…

Great help D by Andy there. His footwork defensively was good before, but its improved dramatically this offseason.

Martin ejected! Nice to see the refs finally try to take control of the game back.

Good to see the referees find their whistles.

Good win for the Cavs. Its not the type of game they wanted, but they were still able to win it.

I agree. Good won!

by JulioBernazard on Nov 13, 2008 10:14 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Cavs give up 61 in the first half……only 38 in the 2nd.

2nd Highest point total of the year — 110….and LeBron “only” scores 22.

Cavs win their 6th straight and look to be getting into their groove…
