Displaced Cleveland Fan

Big game for the Cavaliers tonight. They beat the Phoenix Suns by 17 points and improved to 13-5 on the year. But more than the score and their record, this game was great for several reasons.

#1 - Zydrunas Ilgauskas broke the team record for number of games played at 724. I love Z. He is, hands down, my favorite Cavs player ever (yes, even more than LeBron James). He has played his entire career in a Cleveland uniform and battled through foot injuries to make it this far. This year he has had to move to the bench with the addition of Shaquille O’Neal and is adjusting to that in the best interest of the team.

Congrats, Z. Hope to see you help this team finally win a championship this year as well.

2 more wins to get to the Finals.

2 reasons why the Cavs won this game:

• Lebron got some help: Mo Williams (24pts), Zydrunas Ilgauskas (16pts).
• The Magic’s 3 point shooting came back to earth (32%, as opposed to 45% in game 4).

Next stop, Orlando. Let’s see if they can keep this going.

I typically post an update on the Cavaliers every so often. That’s because it’s hard to keep up with the team living in Kentucky. I usually have no choice but to read the recaps and watch highlights. I never get to watch a game. Until tonight.

Are the Cavaliers the team to beat in the Eastern Conference?

Yes they are… for now.

Tonight, the Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 114-94. The team won their 9th straight game, improving their record to 18-3. The closest game during this winning streak was the 12-point victory over Milwaukee on November 29. This team definitely looks like it has a legitimate shot and the Finals this year.
