Cavs 07-08 Season Thread

Lebron was one board that Z picked from over his head at the end from a triple double. Unfortunately for the Cavs they have to play Boston again at the end of the month and might still be without Andy and Pavs. Hopefully Drew can make a quick recovery and Andy can get back shortly after the All-Star break. The next 5 games are brutal for the Cavs. Day off, at Houston, at Atlanta, day off, Denver, at Orlando, day off, San Antonio. 3 out of 5 over that stretch would be great.

I know it's a long way out to be discussing this, but with the Cavs seven games back in the loss column behind Detroit, the #4 seed would seem to be their ceiling for the playoffs. That's where they sit after tonights game. It would get them home court in the first round, but would also mean a likely 2nd round matchup with the Celtics. At least they've made a good showing against Boston so far.

If the Cavs have a better record than Orlando they will get the 3rd seed, which would be the best place for them to be. Weren't they the 2nd seed last year with Detroit in 1st? Even when both teams are healthy I think the Cavs are a bad matchup for the Celts.

Cavaliers 114 | Celtics 113
James-led Cavaliers take down Celtics again

By James Walker


THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

CLEVELAND -- The Cavaliers had a message for the NBA-leading Boston Celtics last night:
There is only one LeBron James.
James, who nearly posted a triple-double, led the Cavaliers to a 114-113 victory over the Celtics in Quicken Loans Arena. It was the second time this season Cleveland has defeated Boston, which has the league's best record at 36-9.
The Celtics were without 6-foot-11 power forward Kevin Garnett, who has an abdominal strain. He is one of Boston's Big Three, along with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, who played and scored 24 and 19 points, respectively. But James was able to take advantage by cutting through the Celtics defense for 33 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds.

Cavaliers game day
GM Ferry still talking trades
His most recent tries have failed for lack of tradable Cavaliers
By Brian Windhorst
Beacon Journal sportswriter

Published on Sunday, Feb 03, 2008


CLEVELAND: The Cavaliers haven't made a big trade since Danny Ferry took over as general manager in 2005. But it isn't for lack of trying.
It might not be much of a consolation to fans anxious for upgrades, but according to several league sources, Ferry has been very active in recent weeks trying to put together a deal.
He made a failed pitch for Memphis Grizzlies forward Pau Gasol, who was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers this week, just as he made an offer for Kevin Garnett before he was moved to Boston last summer. He's also been in discussions with the Sacramento Kings about point guard Mike Bibby and with the New Jersey Nets about point guard Jason Kidd.
