was named today as the NBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, March 16th through Sunday, March 22nd. James wins the award for the second consecutive week and becomes the only player in the history of the award to win it seven times in a season (The Player of the Week award has been awarded since the 1979-80 season and awarded by conference since the 2001-02 season).
In four games during the week, James averaged a double-double with 30.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 block per game. James has now won the award 20 times in his career, including a career-best seven times this season, three times in 2007-08, twice in 2006-07, five times in 2005-06 and on three occasions during the 2004-05 campaign.
James finished with 43 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists, four steals, and one block to record his 22nd double-double of the season versus the Orlando Magic on March 17th. The only other player to record at least those numbers in a game was Larry Bird in 1992 for the Celtics when he had 49 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists and four steals. His 43 points and 12 rebounds marked the ninth 40-point, 10-rebound game of his career (Cavs are 7-2) and his second this season.
At Quicken Loans Arena, on March 21st, he tallied 22 points, seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in a win over the Hawks. In a 97-92 overtime win over the Portland Trail Blazers, he recorded 26 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal for his league-high seventh triple-double on the season. In the only road game for the Cavs this week, he scored 30 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for his 24th double-double this season while dishing out eight assists in a 96-88 victory over New Jersey on March 22nd.
With four wins this week and a current nine-game winning streak, James and the Cavaliers tied the most wins in franchise history with 57 (1988-89 and 1991-92) and hold the NBA’s best overall (57-13) and home record (32-1).

James became the 12th player in NBA history to have three consecutive triple-doubles and recorded his eighth career game of 50-plus points. With three road wins against the L.A. Clippers, Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings, Cleveland improved to an Eastern Conference-best 22-4 against the Western Conference. This is James' sixth Player of the Week Award this season.

Here is the one named "Powder".
Remember, they are all on the commercials page here
I buy all of LBJ's shoes when they come out... it's a hobby I guess. But they are not really "wearable" outside of the gym. Not like Jordan's (some of them). They are cool looking, but not out on the street. But these look very different. Can totally see lots of people sportin' 'em in jeans.

long time no see.
i finally added the stats from the playoffs here
and added our good friend Mo Williams to the club
Cavs went ahead and signed J.J. Hickson to a multi-year contract on July 12th The 6-foot-9 power forward led the Atlantic Coast Conference in field goal percentage last season at .591, while averaging 14.8 points and 8.5 rebounds for North Carolina State. He will make his professional debut next week as part of Cleveland’s team at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.  p.s. he was born in 1988... yes... we are old
 Every where I click, listen or read pundits are lining up to opine about Lebron going to New York or Brooklyn or New Jersey or anywhere but Cleveland. Granted, LeBron is fueling the fire by waxing so eloquently about those destinations, but to read into everything the man says is pointless. We're two years away from any decision and the Cavs management is definitely on the clock, but so many things can change while NY waits for him to save their basketball lives. Kelly Dwyer blogged precisely about this yesterday over at the BDL. He acknowledged LeBron's and the Cavs situation and asked his fellow writers to place a moratorium on writing about LeBrons not so impending free agency. Well fodder is fodder and so many can't help themselves. We Cavs fans need to develop a tougher skin and bring facts to the arguement, not just emotion and fervor. Some facts: -Cleveland can offer more money and years to LeBron in terms of contract. -Since the CBA was created, no player offered a max contract has left his orginal team to take less money. Not even Shaq, despite what Terry Pluto has writen and said. This is just not how the NBA works. A player either forces his way out by demanding a sign and trade or gets his money and dogs it until he's traded. -Over YaySports The Cavalier has some much more entertaining thoughts to combat the naysayers. Take a deep breath and don't let the pundits or internet trolls get you worked up, we'll get through this and then we can wait for it all to start again in 2016.
We follow the Cavs very closely here and our favorite beat writer and Cavs insider is Brian Windhorst. Recently heard Brian is in the hospital with a serious illness. On behalf of Dcass, we want to send along our sincere well wishes to Brian and his family. We're pulling for you and look forward to reading your insight and knowledge soon. Get Well Soon. Crunch and Dcass
