LeBron: Best Defender in the L

When he wants to be that is. That’s just one of the thoughts put forth this morning from the very fired up Cavs blog “Cavalier Attitude” (along with a host of other things, from the size of Boobie’s stones to the TV cameras catching KG allegedly saying some seriously unfortunate things).
First up, LeBron’s […]

Cleveland’s Secret

SI’s Ian Thomsen writes that no one does more with less than does LeBron. True. But that’s a pretty obvious statement (we’ve killed his supporting cast and front office tons of times in this space), and not the most interesting part of the article.
Way down in the story though is buried a little […]

That’s a theory being posed by a story in Newsday this morning, that goes so far as to speculate what position ‘Bron would play for the Knicks. From the article:
Come hell or high loss totals along the way, Walsh will get the Knicks under the salary cap by 2010. The Garden is always an […]

Another object of Cavalier Attitude’s ire? Anderson Varejao. From […]

The Wiz Love Caron

After Caron Butler took over (again) and basically won last night’s Cavs/Wizards game in Cleveland all by himself, his Wizards teammates waited for Butler in the locker room chanting “TOUGH JUICE !” over and over again, until their hero to get back to the locker room.
Somewhere, we can picture Gil talking himself into re-building the […]

The Key to the Cleveland Deal

Most of the Cleveland-area reaction to yesterday’s last-second, 11-player deal falls somewhere between “We’ll see” and “And at least they did something.” Which is understandable. From a pure talent standpoint, you can’t really argue that Cleveland’s infusion of new players is only slightly better than what they had prior to Thursday. […]

Not quite sure this makes LeBron’s team better but at least they did something.

The Celtics and Pistons Talk the Most Smack

So says LeBron in today’s Akron Beacon-Journal:
Trash-talking during NBA games is as common as tattoos and reverse layups.
LeBron James has had his run-ins with several players over the years. Some more than others.
James said the Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons are two teams that do plenty of trash-talking.
“It’s […]

Donyell Forgot Something

In case you missed it last night or on SportsCenter this morning, here’s the video of Donyell Marshall trying to check into the game last night in Seattle without a jersey (Complete with footage of LeBron dying laughing).
