I know it's only preseason, but I'm glad I turned off the game and started playing Halo about six minutes in. All I saw in that time was a worst case scenario brought to life of what this team can do this year. I hope they look better when things get going for real.

Ohio State versus M*ch*g*n trumps everything. It trumps your record. It trumps whether it's dangerous or you don't have a chance or any of those kinds of things. It trumps all things because it's the Ohio State-M*ch*g*n game. And I would like to think our guys understand that, but there's only one demonstration of understanding that and that's at 12:00 noon on Saturday.

We will be fine...Not sure how many actually watched the FIBA world championships, but LBJ looked to of really stepped up his game in terms of being able to shoot the ball better...I know that the line was like 1 foot closer, but with an improved shot that makes the entire team that much better...
I really think Gooden is going to continue to improve, and become a much bigger part of the team like he was in the playoffs last season, when I actually caught myself saying get the ball to Gooden... |

Of course Lebron has always liked to shoot from one foot inside the 3pt line.

CAVALIERS INSIDER
Cleveland Cavaliers get weaker as ankle injury slows Simmons

CAVALIERS INSIDER
Ankle bone bruise slowing new acquisition Simmons
The Cavaliers, already weak in depth at the backup power forward and backup center posi tion, just got weaker.
Anderson Varejao is out because he re mains un signed and newly ac quired Cedric Simmons, who was signed to help pick up the slack, has been slowed because of a sore left ankle that was injured over the summer.
An MRI taken on Wednesday night revealed a bone bruise. Simmons has started treatment, but no timetable has been established yet for his return.

James expects improvement
Saturday, October 13, 2007 Branson Wright
Plain Dealer Reporter
Despite co-hosting the ESPY's, hosting "Saturday Night Live" and playing for Team USA this summer, LeBron James is energized and ready for this coming season.
James is focused and thinks that this could be his best season.
"It could be, but it all comes with the team's success," James said. "If I improve that much during the off-season, then our team's going to improve, and I think that's going to happen."

Sonics 96, Cavaliers 90
Offense is not in zone
Despite warning, Cavs not ready for defense
By Brian Windhorst Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Saturday, Oct 13, 2007
CLEVELAND: Before the preseason game Friday, Seattle SuperSonics coach P.J. Carlesimo called Cavaliers coach Mike Brown and asked if he wanted to work against a zone defense.
''I said, 'Yeah, sure, that'd be great,''' Brown said.
Be careful what you ask for.
The Sonics threw a giant helping of zone defense at the Cavs, who were not ready for it despite the warning. Then the Sonics showed off their new up-tempo style offense, which the Cavs weren't ready for, either. The result was a 96-90 exhibition loss, the Cavs' final business before leaving town for a historic trip to China.

Riley indicated that Cook could be headed for a 20-game assignment in the NBA Developmental League.
Cook, who played one season at Ohio State, had a golden opportunity in Miami, where star guard Dwyane Wade is not expected back from shoulder and knee surgeries until late November.
The Herald also reported that the Heat is speaking with the agent for Cavaliers free agent Sasha Pavlovic.
