    Been watching those James dunks all night, all I can say is "wow"

    Waiting to see NBA Fast Break, sure James has the dunk of the night (again) easily.

    Sure enough, he did [​IMG]

    I was waiting for a dunk like that from LeBron all season. He can do that anytime he wants if he just goes for it. No one is going to challange him in fear of being on ESPN.

    Whole lot of shakin' going on

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bobblehead, blowout, big-time dunks turn into Cavaliers beauty

    Welcome to Anatomy of an Blowout 101.

    The origin: Late Monday night in the locker room in Chicago, Cavaliers coach Paul Silas huddled his veterans after a disheartening loss to the Bulls and asked them whether they thought he should give the team the next day off, even though it betrayed conventional wisdom.

    The answer: ``Heck, yeah.''

    The circumstance: Tuesday, the Cavaliers put their feet up and gladly watched the Atlanta Hawks grind out an emotional and physically draining one-point upset win over the Los Angeles Lakers at home. Later, as the Cavaliers were turning in, the Hawks were boarding an airplane to Cleveland abuzz in satisfaction and excitement.

    The result: The rested Cavaliers showed up with energy to burn Wednesday in front of a feisty and charged-up sellout crowd on LeBron James Bobblehead Night at Gund Arena. The Hawks felt like it was New Year's morning and remembered that they are one of the worst teams in the NBA and decided competing wasn't for them.

    Thesis: A 112-80 Cavaliers whipping, pulling them to within a half-game of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

    Man, just seen ESPN top 10 and his dunk over well I don't know. But it didn't make it. Flip Murray's did. Man I can't believe it. Matter as fact, that's the first time I've seen him dunk over somebody period.

    The LeBron dunk over either Crawford or Przybilla won the dunk of the night. I don't agree with that, I felt the around the back between to defenders dunk was one of the best dunks of the season, period.

    The highlight reels and dunks are fan favorites for sure. But from a bball standpoint the great thing was balance and consistancy we showed throughout the game. Didn't take any time off, no real lapses or breaks to speak of. We had 6 players in double figures and 2 more who almost made it. Great team game!!!

    Just as a side note, with last nights 15 boards, Boozer just passed his total for all of last season!!!

    Just a slam-dunk romp

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> With a disappointing performance in Chicago lin- gering in their memories, the Cavaliers vented their frustra tions on the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night.

    The Cavs were impressive, dominating the Hawks in just about every facet in cruising to an easy 112-80 victory before a sellout crowd at Gund Arena.

    It was the largest margin of victory by the Cavs (25-36) since defeating Minnesota, 114-81, on Jan. 29, 2002.

    The Cavs outrebounded the Hawks, 62-36, outshot them, 43.2 percent to 34.1, and dished out more assists, 31-18. The Cavs were so dominant that they led by as many as 40 points late in the fourth quarter.
