No one on the corner got swagger like us…..The lyrics from the hottest song in hip hop right now. Those lyrics may as well be the theme song to the Cavs season. LeBron James has always been a phenom. Now he’s got the pieces around him to make a run to the title. I know what you’re thinking. It’s only December. How can you make that statement? When you look at how the Cavs are constructed they can play any kind of ball. They can go small. They can play big. They have shooters. They have guys who can create their own shot. They’ve got the best player in the world. On top of all that they have completely bought in to the philosphy that defense wins championships. During the 11 game win streak LeBron was sitting during most 4th quarters not because the Cavs were putting up 120 points a game, it was because the Cavs were holding teams to 86 points a game. Offensively Mo Williams allows LeBron to play off the ball. What a difference that’s made in LBJ’s game. He can roam on the offensive end without the burden of having double teams attack him on the perimeter. The Cavs are going to give teams fits all season.
One last thing…Let me give some love to Zydrunas Ilgaukas for becoming the Cavs all-time leading rebounder. Props Big Z!

Yeah Cavs! I believe they will make it to the Championships this year. The team is playing like a “team”.
They could teach the Browns a few things!
