Lady Cavs Fall Just Shy Of Top Eight In Tourney

... else around the bases for the rest of the game, while William Blount tacked one more on in the fifth inning. Morgan Radford (2-2) dropped her second of the tournament and the season after pitching all five innings, but it was still solid performance for the sophomore. She allowed four runs — two earned — off three hits, but she retired 10 batters. Up next, the Lady Cavs return home for a second meeting with the De Kalb County Tigerettes on Monday at 5 p.m. Cookeville 1. Granger 0. @: The Lady Cavs started the tournament off with a tough battle against Granger that resulted in a 1-0 win for CHS. It was a tough battle because the Lady Cavs were only able to secure the win with one run in the bottom of the seventh and final inning. Before that point, Morgan Radford recorded Cookeville’s only hit of the game in the sixth inning, and Lady Cavs reached base on two walks and two errors. CHS started the seventh inning with Emma Seagrave on second base as the tie-breaking base runner. Phillips hit a sacrifice bunt to move her to third, but an error ...

Is The Beat Writer Worried About The Cavaliers? 'hey, Joe

... to push the Cavs through February with a 9-2 record. At some point, the other talented pieces on this roster (read Kevin Love and J. R. Smith) could come together almost by accident. So am I worried about the Cavs' playoff future? Not yet. Hey, Joe: Le Bron James is not right. Can't tell if it is physical or emotional. The whole team seems to be sleepwalking. What is the story? - Mark, Dubois, Penn. Hey, Mark: Entering play Thursday, James was averaging 27.2 points with nine double-doubles and four triple-doubles in March. Then against the Bulls, he poured in 26 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out eight assists. So make that 10 double-doubles this month in 16 games - 12 on the road. He also nearly pulled the backboard down with some nasty, hard dunks this week. So I feel pretty good about him. Hey, Joe: When do we get a real coach? - Ted, ...

Are The Cavaliers Still Nba Finals Contenders

... at the right time—are still an unproven bunch. Playoff basketball is a whole different animal, and every NBA champion this decade took some pretty tough losses before climbing the mountain top, the kind of losses and games the Celtics haven’t even played in yet. And if James personally takes on the defensive challenge against Isaiah Thomas, Boston could come to regret not adding another one-on-one scoring option at the trade deadline. James Harden's Case For MVP In Seven Charts. All of this is to say the Cavs should have a relatively easy road to the Finals compared to teams out West, and then they only have to find a way to play out-of-their-minds defense for one series. It’s not necessarily a good strategy, but it’s a path that’s not completely unrealistic. Steph Curry Can Still Decide Everything. And that’s really it…? A weak conference plus-Le Bron has kind of been the formula for James the last three seasons or so, and it’s enough to give the Cavs ...

Can The Cavs Flip The Switch In The Playoffs

... be to defend with the focus and specificity needed to actually stay on the court in a playoff series. None of the personnel churn is especially hopeful. Jason Miller/Getty Images. Getting through the East—provided the conference’s other top teams are healthy enough to live up to their end of the bargain—might actually demand some rigor this time around. Cleveland is definitively the most capable in the bracket. Le Bron James alone ensures that, and through him the fact that no team in the East seems capable of keeping up with the Cavs’ physical, nuanced offense. Any tardiness from Cleveland’s defense might help to close that gap. Part of what made the Cavs so good over the past two playoff runs was how cleanly they read the pulse of the moment. Lesser teams were dispatched precisely when they needed to be. An amazing comeback against the Warriors was triggered not a moment too soon. There is some reassurance in that. The Cavs are a team of deliberate transformation, free from the precedent of the regular season in a way that others ...

Former Cleveland Cavaliers Gm, Nba Pioneer Wayne Embry, 80, Made A Difference In Nba

... pay for all this?" shouted the manager. "You are," said Shannon, walking out. That incident, from "The Inside Game," former Plain Dealer colleague Mary Schmitt Boyer's biography of Embry, shows what Embry, who turned 80 last Sunday, went through. He was spurned by Dayton, which was a national power at the time. Although Embry was a second-team All-Ohio player, he wound up at Miami (Ohio). Dayton wasn't interested in recruiting him because of the color of his skin. As a kid, Embry had a job working construction on a house in Springfield. The homeowner brought out a glass plate of sandwiches, which he threw away after Embry ate off it. For a stunning 60 years, people in the NBA have known Embry as a man of high personal character. He had it when he entered the league, just as he had it when he entered Tecumseh. Greeted in his first days at Tecumseh with taunts and derision as its only black student, Embry wanted to quit, instead stuck it out, and soon became popular because he was friendly and funny. He became respected because he was strong and tough. Embry was not embittered by snubs because he came to believe in what he calls the "80/20 ...

Cavs Aren't Only Team Ready To Rid Themselves Of March Sadness

... Cavs have limped through the month at 6-10, witnessing the collapse of both their defense and their four-game lead in the race for the Eastern Conference’s top seed. Their margin for the month is minus-4.5, which is seventh worst among all NBA teams. Cleveland, though, is not the only team with some gripes for the March schedule-makers. One of the teams challenging them in the East, the Wizards, might have had an even tougher slate of games in March, with a tight 18-game schedule, tied for the most games of any team this month. They’ve had to play 12 of those on the road, including two junkets through the West, and have had the same number of back-to-backs as the Cavs. But the Wizards have proven resilient. They’ve gone 11-6 ahead of Friday’s game in Utah, and have had a scoring margin of plus-2.2. In all, eight ...

But the Cavs' Kevin Love, who scored nine of his 20 points in double overtime, responded with a 3-pointer with 26.5 seconds left on a pass from James, and the Pacers didn't recover. With the win, the Cavs remain a half-game behind the Celtics  for first place in the East. The Pacers are now tied for eighth with the Heat. James played 52 minutes. Let that sink. Fifty-one minutes and there are now just six games left in the regular season. "Yeah, I haven't played that many minutes in a long time, probably since a playoff game, I would think," James said. "And I'm guarding PG the whole time, guarding him off pick-and-rolls, guarding him off triple pindowns, guarding him off isolations, which he's very good at. And I was trying to do it on both ends. Definitely, definitely just had to dig deep. If we can get this win, I can worry about getting rest tomorrow.". ...
