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

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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…
