Sorry this has been a long time coming guys.
Reaching for Glory
With the recent success (see next article) of the Cavs, many can see that LeBron and co have been treating this season as a championhip run. LeBron has always been at the front of the battles when leading his team through the december and janurary schedules. LeBron really showed his determination agaisnt defending champs San Antonio, in a game that looked like a sure loss for the Cavs, LeBron kept them in the game and led them to victory, dropping 50 all over the texas team. "I have full confidence that this team is capable of winning a championship, its not going to be easy, the odds are against us, but im not going to give up yet."- LeBron, when asked about his uncanny determination.
5 Game Storyline
We last left the Cavs with a 4-3 record after an up and down start to the season. Lets have a look at how they fared over the next 5 games.
Game 8
4-3 Cleveland Cavs @ 2-2 Washington Wizards
LeBron taking 2 to the hoop.
This game started with the Cavs showcasing some great defense (something they are not known for) holding the Wizards to 16 points for the quarter while putting 28 of thier own on the board. Washington werent going down that easy, pulling back to within 4 points at the half due to some great shooting from the guards.
Halftime Score: 46-42 Cavs Lead
The third was much the same as the second, the Wizzards shooting so well, thier FG% for the game had rocketed to 60%. the avs went into the final quarter up 78-77. The fourth saw the Cavs show maturity beyond thier years, making few mistakes and keeping good control in the clutch.
End Score: 109-102 Cavs Win

Player Thoughts:
LeBron -"Carlos was great on D tonight, he really got us some key rebounds, i feel really confident knowing hes there to back me up on D"
Hughes -"We were close, but they were too controlled in the clutch for us."
Game 9
1-3 Detroit Pistons @ 5-3 Cleveland Cavs
The Cavs played the opposite of last game, playing some shabby D to give the Pistons a 3 point lead, 28-25, going into the second. The second saw some better D, fueling the offense, letting the Cavs take a 5 point lead into the half.
Halftime: 45-40 Cavs Lead
The third was a reversal, the Pistons playing good D, Moore did however have one of hsi best defensive performances racking up 5 steals in the quarter. 71-70 Pistons lead. The fourth saw the Pistons surge ahead and the Cavs just couldnt catch up.

Billups -"It was a tough battle between Moore and I, i was the lucky one who came out with the win"
Game 10
5-4 Cleveland Cavs @ 3-8 Seattle Sonics
The Cavs started off slow in this game, but managed a minor run to pull out ahead at the end of the first 24-20. The second was much the same except the Sonics made run of thier own in the last 4 mins to take a 12 point lead into the half.
Halftime: 52-40 Sonics Lead
The third saw the Cavs comeback and a Tayshaun Prince dunk with 5:22 left put them ahead 59-58, but the Sonics regained thier lead to take a 71-67 lead into the fourth. The fourht was down to the wire, LeBron James came through with a clutch penetration move down the lane to take a 98-97 lead with 5 seconds left. Then on the next possession the Cavs defense broke down and the ball was inbounded all the way from halfway to Potapenko under the hoop who layed it in, the time ran out as the Cavs tried to get the ball up the court.

Game 11
6-5 Milwaukee Bucks @ 5-5 Cleveland Cavs
The Bucks came out on top after 1 quarter from some good D and rebounding fromt he Bucks big men, 20-18. The second was still very close with the Cavs trying again and again to get a lead, the lead came in the dying minutes of the quarter as Boozer dunked it home to take a 1 point lead into the half.
Halftime: 42-41 Cavs Lead
Some good from Boozer and a 3 pointer at the buzzer form Tayshuan Prince put the Cavs up by 5 at the end of 3 63-58. The fourht was a very close battle, but once again it was LeBron who came to the rescue, driving down the lane to get fouled with 8.1seconds left, and sinks both shots.

Playoff Picture
Now that most teams are nearing mid-season or halfway through their schedule, we thought it was tiem we took a look at the playoff picture. First we look at the East
EDIT: Sorry about this pic, i dont know what happened:?
1. Indiana Pacers 9-3 vs 8. Oralndo Magic 6-7
4. New York Knicks 7-5 vs 5. Cleveland Cavs 7-5
3. Phillidelphia 76ers 10-6 vs 6. Toronto Raptors 7-5
2. Boston Celtics 4-2 vs 7. Atlanta Hawks 5-4
Comments:
Look for Indiana to stay atop the East, not really supprising considering how well Artest is playing this season, yet they still have their best play in O'Neal. The middle is very tight with 4th,5th and 6th seeds all with 7-5 records, all those team are looking threatening. Phillidelphia and Boston are supprising, both team weren't tipped to be in the top 5 seeds at the start of the season. One of the big supprises is Atlanta being present when there are teams like New Jeresey and Detroit that aren't.
And the West
1. Houston Rockets 9-2 vs 8. Denver Nuggets 6-7
4. Minnesota T-Wolves 7-4 vs 5. Memphis Grizzlies 11-9
3. Dallas Mavericks 7-4 vs 6. Utah Jazz 7-6
2. LA Lakers 7-2 vs San Antonio Spurs 4-4
Comments:
The Rockets are supprisingly at the top of the West, but dont look for them to stay there too long with the Lakers hot on their heals as well as Dallas and the T-Wolves. The Defending Champions in 7th place is supprising especially behind Utah. All taken into account the West is proabaly not as supprising as the East.
Awards Preview
The Awards race is taking place as many would have thought.
Firstly the tight competetion for MVP:
At this stage KG has the best chance since his T-Wolves are in a better position, but if the Magic can get a few more games above .500 and Get a good playoff seeding, T-Mac could be looking for some more space in the trophy cabient.
Rookie of the Year?
VS
LeBron looks to be a clear winner here, but you cant discount Carmelo, Melo has started in a team where he doesnt have to be a leader, but he is slowly working his way up, his stats are on the rise, while it seems Brons are slowly decreasing, it may end up going down to whose team does better. Plus you cant forget about Dwyane Wade out in Miami, that Kid is leading his team too, just like LeBron.
6th Man?
At the current stage Taysaun Prince seems to be a top contender for 6th man of the year. Mainly because hes come from 4 games as a starter in Detroit to being the 6th man in Cleveland, so far he has been very impressive coming off the bench, but time will tell how he fares as a reserve. Anyway he could always end up starting.
Defensive Player of the Year?
There is no debate here, the reigning trophy holder is well on track for another crowning. Averaging almost 2 steals a game is one thing, but Big Ben is averaging over 2 more blocks per game than anyone else in the League. Plus to go along with that he is leading the league in rebounds averaging 13.8.
Well thats it for us this issue, next time we will be looking at the probable starters for the All-Star game.

Wow those are nice pics, makes me want to do photoshoppy stuff like that but I don't want to look like I'm stealing material.
As for this pic:
If the image is greater then 250k they are resized and given ugly quality. If you're using photoshop and you save them at max quality (12) then try saving it at 9, I always save mine at 9, theres no difference, and the filesize is smaller (usually always lower then 250k).

Thanks Cocobee, it feels good to have praise from the master 
Another update coming in a few days guys, been real busy with school and havent played in 2 weeks.
Plus i need someone that i can put in the draft as a Scottie Pippen like player, must be a small foward.
If one of the guys that is already in wants to change their posi to SF thats kool too.

Just thought i would announce that i am shifting to 9 minute quarters.
Gonna try cocobee's sliders, maybe a little modified.
BTW still waiting for someone to step up for the SF spot in next years draft. Im past half way through this season and i need 3 more rookies so i can start doing some write-ups on them.
Update coming soon

Ok guys some good news and bad news. Im finally finished my first season, and i know i left you hanging about halfway, im not going to post all my game recaps for the season, just and end of reg season report and a playoffs post.
I'm sorry i didnt keep posting, but my life has been pretty hectic lately and when ive had free time i just didnt feel like doing photo work in photoshop or doing wirte ups, i just wanted to play some live.
Anyway ill get right back into it in the next season, with only about 3 games per post and regular updates.
Expect the reg season report in the weekend, and if its not up then... then sadly you'll have to wait another week since i have a hocky tourny .
Anyway looks like you wont see the Cavs in the finals this year........ more to come in the report.

Sorry guys i havent been posting my recaps lately, ive been real hectic and when ive had free time i havent felt like writing up recaps or doing pic editing.
I've finished the season and will do a season report then start on the second one, i intend to follow the second one right through.
Anyway, jsut a few opinions; firstly should i resign Boozer, or should i let him go? And how many game recaps should i be having next season per write up?
Congrats to HonorGlow, Mafia and James who will be the Nlsc rookies next season, one will be making an appearance in a Cavs uniform but i will leave that as a supprise.
Look for the season recap this weekend, and if sadly if i dont get time this weekend you will have to wait till the next since i have a hockey tourny.
Peace

Cavs Turning Heads
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been playing very well through the 1st half of the season
Chris Roberts
Febuary 10, 2004
The Cavaliers came into this season underrated as many people thought Rookie phenom Lebron James may not live up to all the hype. Lebron did more more than live up to the hype, he past that barrier and is now playing in this year’s All-Star Game with some of the top players in the NBA. He is alongside his teammate, Carlos Boozer who also made the all-star game. Both players played very well during the 1st half of the season and they proved many people wrong as they took the Cavaliers to a 12-5 record.
Lebron stats we’re eye-popping for the 1st half of the season as he averaged 25.8 PPG, 6.8 APG and 6.4 RPG. “He has really showed me a lot and as a rookie he is becoming one of the best players in the NBA slowly. Next thing you know, Lebron will be in the hall of fame with many of the greats from the NBA,” Cavaliers coach Paul Silas said. Carlos Boozer is in the run for Most Improved Player of the Year as he is averaging a double-double for the Cavaliers with 14.5 PPG, 13.4 RPG and he added 2.4 BPG. “He really worked hard during the summer to get his game in top shape. It has shown throughout the season and he is now an all-star,” Cavaliers forward Tayshaun Prince said.
Tayshaun Prince has been very impressive ever since his performance during the NBA Playoffs in the year of 2003 when he showed up against the Orlando Magic. This season with the Cleveland Cavaliers he has came off the bench as a 6th man and has shown more signs of improvement by each game. He is a 6th man canidate for this season averaging 15.2 PPG and 3.3 RPG in 27.5 MPG of play off the bench. He was injured for 3 out of the 17 games played and he started 4 games out of the 14 games he has played. “I love the Cleveland organization and I work hard everyday in practice so I can do all I can to help this team win and reach the playoffs,” Prince said.
The Cavaliers rookie PG Mark Moore, has been mentioned in many trade rumors during the season and it hasn’t been such a great thing. “I love Cleveland, but if they want to move me I will be alright with it. The fact is, I want to stay a Cavalier and this team is doing good things with me running the show at the PG spot. The trade deadline is coming up and I can expect even more rumors coming along after the all-star break,” Moore said. Moore averaged 16.4 PPG and 7.9 APG for the Cavaliers through the 1st half of the season and many of the Cleveland fans think he should stay. “I love Mark’s game and I hope they don’t trade him. There is nothing wrong with the way he is playing and I’m pretty sure he is doing what the coaches are asking him to do,” Cleveland native Derek Harris said on a local news station in Cleveland. A few things that do stand-out about Mark Moore is that he only shoots 61% from the free throw line and as a guard, that’s a bad thing to have. “We have heard a lot of rumors, and I can’t say that we will trade him or we will keep him. We won’t have more news until after the all-star break. That’s when most things will clear up,” Cavaliers owner Gund said.
You can watch your Cavalier players Lebron James and Carlos Boozer play in the all-star game on Sunday as they will play against the Western Conference All-Stars.

Dunks of the Year
For your reading pleasure we have put together what we think are the top 8 dunks of the Cavaliers Regular Season.
Top 8 Dunks of the Regular Season
Cavs Playoff Run:
Round 1
First up for the Cavs were the Boston Celtics, the Celtics came in as the favourites but only becasue of experience, and the Cavs showed them that you need more than just that.
Game 1: Boston @ Cleveland
The Cavs gave their home court the best show of the season in this game, they went out to a 23-15 lead at the end of the first and never looked back. Carlos Boozer took control of this game and was relentless, never givign up a rebound and dishing and making the right shots on offense, the Celtics could not come up with and answer for the Booze Bus. The Lead was out to 19 at the end of the 3rd and the Cavs didnt even slack off in the fourth, taking the lead out to 20 to close the game out 87-67.
Top Performances:
Boozer (POG) 14p 5/6 25 rebs (10 offensive) 3blks 6asts
LeBron James 23p 7/13 5rebs 3ast
Ricky Davis 18p 8/13 2rebs 3ast
Ricky Davis seemed to be the only thing working for the Celtics in game 1.
Game 2: Cleveland @ Boston
This game was the Celtics turn to heat it up for the fans, the FG% for the Celtics was out of this world in the first quarter shooting 65%, yet the Cavs showed they can now play defense keeping the scoreslocked at 19 all. The high FG% from Boston continued all throughout the game, and the Cavs jsut couldnt match it. LeBron tried to get his team back into the game but was unsucessful in a losin effort. Boston took the game far too easily 92-81.
Top Performances:
Paul Pierce (POG) 25p 9/16 5rebs 2stl 2ast
Banks 13p 3rebs 10ast
LeBron James 34p 4rebs 2stl 7ast
Boozer 10p 14rebs 2blk
LeBron was flying all round the Celtics, but his team mates werent there to help.
Game 3: Boston @ Cleveland
The Cavs came out knowing they were going to win this game, but there was one thing standing in their way, Paul Pierce and the Celtics.
The Cavs showed once agin that they are not a one man show, with the LeBron's rookie counterpart, Moore taking onthe scoring load and notching up 12 in the first quarter to lead the Cavs to a 28-21 lead.
The Cavs continued the strong play with Boozer pulling down the boards and Moore and Bron linking up on the offensive end, but once the third quarter came around the Cavs faltered and gave the Celtics all the room they needed to come back within 5 68-63 at the end of the third.
The Celtics put all the pressure they cold find on the Cavs in the fourth and it nearly payed off till Moore hit a trey with 3 seconds left to prevent over time. The Cavs took the series with a 90-87 game 3 win.
Paul Pierce couldnt do enough to keep his Celtics in the Championship Race.
Top Performances:
Moore (POG) 33p 2rebs 1stl 7ast
Boozer 19rebs 2stl 5ast
Big Z 23p
Walter McCarty 12p 13rebs
Round One MVP:
Carlos Boozer
Boozer ruled the paint against the Celtics averaging 11.3ppg 2bpg and most importantly 19.3 rebounds per outing.
Round 2
Up Next for the Cavs was a much harder opponent, the Indiana Pacers,with Reggie Miller pushing for the Ring it was always going to be hard.
Game 1 Cleveland@Indiana
The Cavs came out with nothing to lsoe in this game, facing a far more deep team they played with their hearts and came out at the end of the first on top 24-18. The Cavs didnt lose their lead for the rest of the gmae, the pacers did manage some comebacks but the Cavs kept fighting to take the game and steal home court advantage, 93-90 behind a great game from LeBron.
Top Performances:
LeBron (POG) 32p 14/22 7rebs 4ast
Boozer 8p 10rebs 4blk
Artest 23p 2ast 1stl
O'Neal 21p 8rebs
Artests D will be the Key in this series, unfortunately he couldnt do anything about LeBron in the first game.
Game 2: Indiana @ Cleveland
THe Pacers came out tonight in a do ro die situation, they had put themselves in a very hard spot, with a loss in the first game so they were never going to go down easy. They led from the start and kept that lead, thanks to stellar shooting form Reggie Miller, until the end of the 3rd where the Cavs managed to creap ahead by 2, 72-70. THe Cavs kept extending the lead, but a sucessful alley-oop form LeBron to Kedrick Brown, followed by and unsucessful one to Prince, saw the Cavs lose a grip on the game and let the Pacers come riht bakc to force overtime 97-97.
The over time was Reggie time, with Reggie unable to be stopped, determined to get his ring, the Cavs wouldnt answer and learnt their lesson 116-112.
Top Performances:
Reggie Miller (POG) 36p 7/15 3pt 7rebs 3stls 2ast
JO 17p 14rebs 4blk 3ast
Boozer 12p 15rebs 2stl 8ast
Bron 25p 14rebs 2blk 3stl 11ast
Over-time was "Reggie-Time"
Game 3: Cleveland @ Indiana
With the Pacers retaking homecourt advantage with a crucial win in Cleveland, the Cavs were in for a tremdously hard game, and that was what they got.
The Cavs managed to keep pace with the Pacers during the first quarter on offense but the great D that they had showed throughout the playoffs was long gone. The Cavs managed to keep it close, but still trailed 70-63 at the end of the 3rd. Tayshuand Prince's 10 point 4th quarter helped to push the Cavs up within 2 then a trip to the free throw line for LeBron put the game into Overtime 93-93.
The second play up the court Moore took and injury to the Ankle, and with Wagner cold all night, Silas put Bron back at the point. Indiana punished for the mistake, Miller make crucial shots to give the Indiana the gmae and series 104-103.
Top Performances:
Reggie Miller (POG) 22p 2rebs 3stls 3ast
Tinsley 18p 3rebs 3stl 4ast
Prince 31p 6rebs 2ast
Bron 27p 4rebs 3ast
The Cavs failed at their first attempt at a championship with LeBron at the Helm.
Round 2 Co MVP's:
Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neal.
Reggie was quite in game 1 with only 9 p but he scored 36 in the second and 22 in the 3rd, and what more his shots were the important ones. JO was crucial in keeping Boozer quite and forcing the Cavs to play on the Perimeter.
Cavs Playoff MVP:
LeBron James.
LeBron did have some good help from his suporting cast, and Boozer was the star of the first round, but LeBron was always there when the team needed them and lead them showing maturity far past his years, his consistency is shown by his averages of 26.2ppg 6.8rpg and 5.3apg, leading his team in points and assists.
In our next issue we will give a report of the Cavs offseason, and other key league moves.

Rookie Draft
This years rookie draft was full of supprises, the big favourtie for first pick was high school sensation Dwight Howard, yet Howard wasn't selected until 6th pick this year by, San Antonio who must be going crazy at getting Dwight that late.
Lottery Picks:
New Jersey Nets - Ben Gordan
Chicago Bulls - Andre Igudola
Los Angles Clippers - Shaun Livingston
Washington Wizards - Emeka Okafor
Atlanta Hawks - Honor Glow
San Antonio Spurs - Dwight Howard
Phoenix Suns - Devin Harris
Seattle Supersonics - Rafael Araujo
Milawaukee Bucks - Luol Deng
Orlando Magic - Sebastian Telfair
Denver Nuggets - Robert Swift
Golden State Warriors - Josh Childress
Detroit Pistons - Luke Jackson

21st Pick Cleveland Cavaliers - Al Jefferson
This year there were no draft day trades this year, but only a few days after the draft a large deal was struck which involved the Cleveland Cavs and the Atlanta Hawks.
Cavs GM Martin Harris had been openly pursuing late draft entry Honor Glow openly since he declared. The Hawks must have taken this to their advantage darafting Glow in hope or getting a good deal for him, or if no deal still at least a small foward in Glow.
GM Harris however was going to get Glow at all costs, so after some lengthly discussions a deal was struck which sent Small Fowards Tayshaun Prince and Kendrik Brown as well as recent signing F/C Keon Clark in exchange for SF Honor Clow, PG Jacque Vaughn and the contract of retiring Terrel Brandon.
Many Cavs fans were infruiated at what seems to be GM Harris' first big mistake as Cavs GM. But in a press conference aboout the trade Harris stated:
"This is a team built around LeBron, the comparrisons may have dropped off but i still see LeBron is a Joradnesque type player, that being he is a team leader adn we need complementary players. Last season Prince was taking the most shots in many of our games, LeBron didnt complain, but that needs to be him if we want him to develop."
When asked why he chose Honor Glow Harris replied "We have been scouting Glow for quite awhile now, he has never been the leader on any of his teams, but he has worked in the background making all the right passes, and basicly making the team star even better. I wanted to get Glow at all costs, i was unhappy at having to trade Brown as he was a true energizer, but there was no other option."
Is Honor Glow the missing piece to the Cavs Championship contention?
Key Signings and Trades
This was predicted to be a huge free agent market this off season, but it did not really live up to expectations with many of the key big names, resigning with their teams.
Some of the young prospects decided to stay with their respective teams. Magloire and Miles signed 5 year extensions with the Hornets and Balzers respectively, Arroyo resigned with the Jazz for 6 years while Manu Ginobili signed a 4 year extension.
Miles looking to develop his career in Portland
Of the Big Names, Kobe resigned with the Lakers for 7 years, even though they are still trying to find a deal to get rid of Shaq, Rasheed decided that the Piston still had alot to offer and signed a 3 year extension, and K-Mart decided testing the market wasnt for him and resigned with the Nets for 6 years.
A key resigning for Cleveland was that of Rookie First Team Point Guard Makr Moore the Cavs managed to land the streaky shooting guard for 6 million for 4 years. When asked why he resigned Moore replied:
"I love the Cavs organisation, I love Cleveland, I see this team having a great future, we were young last year and unlucky to not go further in the playoffs"
Many Cavs fans will be glad to see Moore back on the court in Red and Gold
However there were some signings still going down. Nick Van Exel signed with the Houston Rockets for 3 years at 5mil a year, while Penny Hardaway signed with the Jazz fro 2 years at 3mil.
Nick the quick will be coming off the bench behind Francis and Mobley in Houston
One of the biggest signings however affected the Cavaliers in a big way. Carlos Boozer the Cavs key big man decided his future wasnt in Cleveland and signed with the New York Knicks for 4 years at 10mil (I know the knicks could never afford this, but the signed he for the minimum before i could place him somewhere else, and there is no way he would earn 300k a year with his ability) this will considerably hurt the Cavs inside as Boozer was the only really productive big man on the team.
"We are really disapointed that Carlos didnt see us as being able to cater for his future, his departure has left us with a gaping wound in the front court, once again a rookie is going to have to step up for us, there is going to be a lot of pressure on Al (Jefferson) to perform this season"- GM Harris when interviewed about the loss of Boozer.
The Cavs are left hurting after seeing Boozer walk.
Dallas and Golden State announced just yesterday that they have come to an agreement to a trade that will send F Antoine Walker and G/F Josh Howard to Golden State in exchange for C Eric Dampier and F Byron Russel in a sign and trade deal of both Russel and Dampier. The deal answers one of Dallas' big worries, that being the lack of a center. Golden State now have a lack of Centers, but couldnt risk seeing Dampier walk away without getting anythign in return, now they have Walker to help out on the socring end especially with the loss of Nick Van Exel.
Walker and Dampier will be traing places
Cavs Projected Roster
Just 5 days before the start of the season the Cavs announced another trade involving C Tony Battie and F Marcus Haislip beign sent to Washington in exchange for C Etan Thomas and F Jared Jefferies.
"Tony was not happy with the direction the team was heading in, he was unhappy with our inability to resign Boozer so he asked for a trade, this deal gets us some more youth." - GM Harris, just mintues after the trade was announced.
The Cavs projected lineup will be:
C: Sagana Diop
PF: Al Jefferson
SF: LeBron James (C)
SG: DeShawn Stevenson
PG: Mark Moore
6th Man: Honor Glow
7th: Dajuan Wagner
8th: Jared Jefferies
9th: Etan Thomas
10th: Fred hoiberg
11th: Jacque Vaughn
Coach Silas and GM Harris have agreed that with the contraversy sorounding the Honor Glow trade they will have him coming off the bench till he is more comfortable, plus the postion of SF is a crucial part in the Cavs offense.
Once Glow is ready we would expect to see him starting at Small Foward and either Stevenson going to 6th man with Bron at the 2 or Moore going to 6th man and Bron at the point, the first scenario is the most likely.
Lastly one of our graphic artists created a banner of the Cavs for the 2004-2005 season, enjoy.
