LeBron Leaving It On The Court

When I started That’s Cleveland Baby I had no intent of turing this into a sports-centric blog. That said, Cleveland revolves around its sports teams so when they’re in the news I feel compelled to cover it.

After the worst start in his career, LeBron James recorded a triple-double with 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists lifting the Cavs to a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals over the Atlanta Hawks.

Two Down, Two To Go

The Cavs took game 2 in the East Conference Finals last night without Kyrie Irving. The more banged up the Cavs are, the better they play. LeBron James was 1 rebound shy of a triple double  and Tristan Thompson had seven points and 16 boards.

We Are All Swishnesses

The Cavaliers took a 1-0 lead over the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals last night when midseason pickup J.R. Smith dumped in 28 points on a Cavs playoff record eight three-pointers! With injuries continuing to plague the Cavs we’re going to need continued contribution from the likes of Smith and Dellavedova.

Ladies & Gentlemen… Matthew Dellavedova

In the second half of last night’s Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Bulls Cleveland was treated to the Matthew Dellavedova show. The former Austrailian rugby player took control of a game that saw Kyrie Irving leave in the 2nd quarter. Dellavedova a team-high 19 points as the Cavs won the series 4-2.

The Cavaliers now await the winner of the Atlanta Hawks & Washington Wizards.

LeBron James Hits ‘The Shot’

LeBron James did it. With time expiring, he drained a shot from the corner to give the CAVS the win in game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Will that play become know as “The Shot” and finally overshadown Michael Jordan’s shot over Craig Ehlo?  Time will tell.
