LeBron just dunked on the Bulls. I mean he literally drove the lane and dunked on the entire Bulls team! He is superhuman.

The Cavs have looked spotty at times today, but they turned it on when they needed to. Lebron was his usual self in the 4th, but Joe Smith and Wally both stepped up. Just think that the Cavs are missing 2-3 starters today, but have enough depth that it doesn't seem to matter.

Kind of a boring game today except for the last three or four minutes of the fourth when the Cavs really started to pick it up. You can see flashes of what this team could be like, but it gets ugly at times especially on offense with Andy and Ben in the game at the same time.

It is only going to continue to get better game in and game out as they continue to play together and learn all the plays...Then we get all of our guys come back...

Andy's new jump shot, while ugly, is damn impressive. He got to use that 15 footer about 3 times today.
Hard to imagine we're missing three of arguably our top 6. Just ridiculous depth we have now.

Great win without the big guy today.
As they stated during the game, we have depth, and it will be deadly when we get healthy.
Boy I can't wait.

Good riddance. Teams that care about winning have no use for guys like this. I don't really care what his motivations are and what his reasons are for playing the game. I'm glad he's happy I guess, and I'm glad he's getting his way somewhere else.

Agree...He isn't good enough IMO to call any types of shots, and especially on a team when he is not one of the 2 best players, and the way he played while here probably not in the top 4-5 best players...

A star's time to shine LeBron owns fourth quarter in win over Bulls
By Brian Windhorst
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Monday, Mar 03, 2008
CLEVELAND: The more things change, the more they stay the same when you have LeBron James.
Sunday was supposedly a reunion day at Quicken Loans Arena, the old Cavaliers and the old Bulls getting together to show off their new clothes and new attitudes. But it was an old-fashioned result that didn't seem to hinge on any of the six players that shuttled between the teams in the trade deadline deal.
The game was in the mud in the fourth quarter, like it has been so many times this season when anyone wearing a Cavs uniform is involved, and James pulled the Cavs out with striking displays of testosterone.
Pulling off four tremendous offensive possessions in a row and getting some timely defense from his teammates, James led the Cavs to another come-from-behind win, 95-86 over the Bulls.

James holds court to lead Cavs rally
Monday, March 3, 2008

REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
CLEVELAND An arena in need of an energy boost turned electric Sunday when LeBron James plugged into his alter ego ? Mr. Fourth Quarter.
James electrified another sold-out crowd of 20,562 at Quicken Loans Arena with more fourth-quarter dominance in a 95-86 win over the Bulls. Six straight points by James, including one thunder dunk, gave the Cavs the lead for good in their fourth straight home win.
"I just live for the fourth quarter," James said. "When the games are close ... that's when I like to do work. We were just able to take the life out of them."
James zapped the Bulls in a manner of just 69 seconds, thrilling new teammates with a dunk where his head was level with the rim ? 10 feet above the grounded mortals.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Tony Dejak Associated Press
Chicago's Larry Hughes drives to the basket against Cleveland's Anderson Varejao, who was his teammate before a three-team trade Feb. 21.
CLEVELAND -- The pregame festivities between the Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls resembled a family reunion.
Cleveland point guard Eric Snow and former Cav Shannon Brown met in the hallway and held a lengthy discussion.
Former Bull Joe Smith shared a few good laughs with the Chicago media. And Cleveland's media flocked to former Cavs Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden to get their take on the recent trade that reshaped both franchises.
Once the greetings were over, the new-look Cavaliers beat the new-look Bulls 95-86 in Quicken Loans Arena. The game involved two of the three teams that took part in a blockbuster trade involving 11 players Feb. 21.
Eight of those players were on display yesterday, but it was LeBron James who made the difference. James led all scorers with 37 points and had six rebounds and six assists.

Just looking ahead at the March schedule...
Besides a 3 game stretch with games...
@ Orlando
vs Detroit
vs Toronto
and then a 2 game stretch
vs NO
@ Detroit
I would say the rest of the games should be very winnable...I am sure we will tumble in one or two, because we like to do that, and we will still be getting used to playing with all the new guys...
We have seemed to play Orlando and Toronto well, so I like our chances in those two...I like the fact that we have NO at home...
I say we split with Detroit with us winning at home and them winning at home...
Overall should be a good month to put together a very good record...
Can't wait for the games with Detroit as we have only played them once this season, and now we have Wallace you know it is going to be intense...
I would love to see us finish the season going 17-5 or something like that...
We don't play any of the top western conference teams other than NO once...
We have 3 left with Detroit (2 at home) and Chicago...
The only road games against playoff teams are @ NJ, Orlando, and Washington, and of course one against Detroit...
