Well...unlike Lebron James...I couldn't care less if the Cavs win or lose as long as he puts up big numbers. 17 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds with only 2 turnovers and a block and a steal thrown in is great. He looks like the best bet to repeat Oscar Robertson's feat of averaging a triple double over a season.

Very good game by this team! Don't forget, the Wizards have been playing exceptionally this year and have managed to defeat a few high calibre teams, so it's no cakewalk to take on this team. The Cavs are slowly finding an identity, and you knew this by the way they played against the Pacers, another top team out east (By the way they lost that game by 1 point). So, things are beginning to look up, it was only a matter of time.

You can only hope that they can build on and sustain this emerging chemistry and LEARN how to close out their games. I see bright future for this squad. Let's not forget the injury to a key contributer and scorer in Dejuan Wagner.

Darius shot over 50% :o :o :o

Good game all around for the Cavs players, I really hope Darius wakes up and play like he was supposed to last year. I think he can start to put up better numbers now that's he's not so focused on as a main scorer like he was last year.

It was a fun game, I was there, granted I was at the top of Gund Arena, eyelevel with Bingo Smith's tretired jersey, but it was nice to see a win. They didn't get down after a 7-0 run late by the Wiz. Darius showed up and I am continually happy with Desegana Diop.

Finally I can put my finger on it. He really does have a similiar game to Grant Hill. He relies more on driving than shooting like Grant Hill also. The stats in rebounding and passing are similiar but slightly higher for Lebron. The only thing is, is he is a rookie and will get much better than Grant Hill.

Yeah, I agree. Actually after 5 surgeries in the same place, Grant Hill didn't get any better ever. Let's wish some luck to LeBron.

Great to see that team winning, they have enough to compete for a spot in the weak east.

LeBron's game is similar to grant hill but his game is mostly his own imo. I dont think he'll be the next anybody but the next LeBron James. He has the hype and growing fame that jordan did...and his skills are a culmination of many players including jordan.
I've always said to myself that the next person to be like Mike...will be nothing like mike. He wasn't like anyone before him and he rose to greatness..so why does someone have to be like him to rise to greatness?

Exactly. There is really no 'next' anyone...and the next great star isn't going to be crowned by anyone...he'll emerge.

Another win for Cavs tonight against the knicks and a solid performance by james.

17 points on 7 for 12 shooting including 3 for 3 from three point range.
5 rebounds
4 assists
1 steal
2 turnovers

However, what pissed off about this game is how Silas totally took bron out of his game. Lebron was 4 for 4 on shooting with 10 points in 8 minutes ...1st quarter. Silas then took him out of the game for what seemed like half an hour. When he came back he didn't score til like the 4th quarter or something...everyone knows you dont sit a hot player down. What is silas thinking? he sucks..cause bron would have probably scored 30 atleast.
:? :evil:

Man, Yohance, Bron was averaging 42 minutes comming in... he got 34 tonight. That is a good break for him, he's been playing a lot and they didn't need him in there. Granted had he been in there, Cavaliers win by 30 but there was no need to add minutes. I was glad to see him sit.

Yohance, I cannot wait for that first 30 point game... the media coverage is getting a little thick here in NE Ohio so the less he plays and the more they win the better. That first 30 pointer will be crazy.
