Season Opener

The Cavs season begins tonight, they will take on the Boston Celtics in a battle of Eastern Conference power houses, the game should instantly be a classic and I expect the Cavaliers to start off with a nice win on the board! The assumed starting lineups are:
Boston Celtics- C-Rasheed Wallace PF-Kevin Garnett SF-Paul Pierce SG-Ray Allen PG-Rajon Rondo....unfortunately I started this post before and am finishing after the Cavs first 2 games, in which they started 0-2! Its okay I have faith in the Cavaliers!!

Cavs

The Cavs start their season in 4 days, next Tuesday, the 27th! They will play the Boston Celtics and hopefully start the season off with a win, now that Lebron isnt sick anymore, everyone is finally healthy and its looking to be a promising year in Cleveland! The starting lineup right now is PG-Mo Williams SG-Anthony Parker SF-Lebron James PF-Anderson Varejao C-Shaquille O'Neal!
This season should be a long and fun one, we will just have too wait and see, i know i cant wait!

Flu and sports

This little flu bug has bitten LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. James ended up missing the club's final home exhibition game against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night because of flu-like symptoms that have been bothering him for several days. Forward Darnell Jackson and guard Coby Karl were also out with the flu. James and his two teammates were told to stay home so they don't spread the flu. As a standard precaution, all of the players will be tested for the H1N1 virus, team officials said. The NBA's reigning MVP, James has been under the weather for the past few days. He was sent home from practice on Tuesday and was not at the Wednesday morning shoot around. In addition, the Cavaliers will be without guards Mo Williams (groin), Delonte West (personal reasons) and forward Danny Green (leg bruise).

Shaq

Mike Brown, LeBron James and the rest of the Cavaliers have been impressed by O'Neal's conditioning through the first few days of camp. At 37, the 325-pound center looks trim and is moving well. "He's in really good shape," James said. O'Neal is coming off one of the longest off seasons of his career. While playing in Phoenix last year, he missed the playoffs for the first time since 1993 when he was a rookie in Orlando. He took two weeks off after the season, then spent the rest of the summer playing baseball, football, beach volleyball, boxing and swimming. "It was different," O'Neal said. "When you do this for so long, everything else gets tiresome. How many times can you go do the stairmaster, the treadmill or the elliptical? You do that twice a day, stuff gets boring. I wanted to mix it up." This season should be interesting

Cavaliers

Delonte West worked out with his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates on Thursday after missing the first two days of training camp. West could still face a league suspension after he was arrested for gun possession in Maryland. Police pulled over his 3-wheel motorcycle for a traffic violation and found he was carrying three loaded weapons two handguns and a shotgun in a guitar case. West averaged 11.7 points during the regular season last year, but was arguably the second-most important player in the playoffs after LeBron James. West played 42 minutes per game during the postseason, averaging 13.8 points, 4.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 14 games. All the Cavaliers have welcomed Delonte back with open arms.
