Antawn Jamison injured his left knee in the Cleveland Cavaliers 97-95 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.  Jamison had an MRI on the knee to see if there was any damage, and it turned out to be great news for the Cavs since there was no serious damage.  Jamison has been a great addition to the Cavaliers ever since they acquired him in a trade last month.  In 10 games with the Cavaliers, Jamison is averaging 17.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.7 steals.  Jamison described the knee as being stiff, so he is going to try and play this Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers.  LeBron James will also be returning Friday.  Shaquille O’Neal is expected to be out about another month with his thumb still healing from surgery.  The Cavaliers are expected to bring back Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who they can resign as early as March 22nd, so he can help fill Shaq’s void if the Cavs do pick him up again.  The Cavaliers are slowly getting healthy again and they should be at full strength when the playoffs start on April 17th.

LeBron James twisted his right ankle in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 99-92 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday.  He still had a monster game, finishing with 40 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.  His ankle was very sore and swelled a lot after that game though, and the Cavaliers’ superstar has since sat out two straight games.  The ankle injury does not seem to be serious and James probably could have played tonight against the Spurs.  The Cavaliers did lose in Milwaukee 85-92 without James, and in the past three years they are 0-7 without LeBron. That being said, I still think it is a good move by the Cavaliers to keep LeBron out for one more game.  That is because they have three days off after tonight’s game, so it gives his ankle almost a full week of rest and rehabilitation and the Cavs don’t have to worry too much about it getting worse or having him re-injure it.  LeBron is having another phenomenal season, and is likely the front-runner for the MVP with averages of 30.0 points, 8.5 assists, 7.2 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks while shooting 51% from the field and 35% from three.

The Cavaliers shot 51.8% from the floor last night and they played good D holding the Nets to only 39.3% shooting from the floor which explains the ease of the win. The Cavs jumped out to a 35-15 lead in the first quarter and they were never really threatened the rest of the night by the Nets. LeBron James led the way for the Cavs last night with 26 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists and 3 steals. J.J. Hickson got the start at center again and he was solid with 20 points, 13 rebounds and 2 steals in only 27 minutes on the court. Antwan Jamison was solid last night for the Cavs with 19 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Mo Williams scored 16 points and dished out 6 assists in only 28 minutes on the court. The Cavaliers are now 48-14 on the year.

The Cavaliers absolutely destroyed the Knicks last night as they rolled to a 101-59 lead after three quarters before calling off the dogs. LeBron James led the way for the Cavs last night with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in only 31 minutes. Antwan Jamison also had a solid game for the Cavs last night with 17 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists in 30 minutes. J.J. Hickson got the start at center for the Cavaliers last night and all he did was score 17 points, grab 9 rebounds, dish out 2 assists and he blocked 2 shots in only 23 minutes on the court. Delonte West (15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in 21 minutes) and Anderson Varejao (14 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists in 16 minutes) really helped the Cavs dominate this game even when the second unit was on the court last night. The Cavaliers are now 47-14 on the season which has them 1.5 games ahead of the Lakers for the best record in the NBA.

27-year old Mo Williams finally looks like his old self again after looking rusty coming off a long layoff due to a strained shoulder. In his last two games, Williams is averaging 34.0 minutes, 20.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steal per game. He is 11 of 20 (55%) from three point range in his last two games and that is outstanding. Williams has played in 49 games (48 starts) for the Cavaliers this season and he is averaging 34.9 minutes, 16.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Williams is also shooting 43.2% from three point range this season with is outstanding. Williams is making opposing teams pay for ganging up in the paint to stop the Cavaliers’ frontline.
