The Cavaliers absolutely destroyed the Rockets last night at the Q. The Cavs were bullies in the paint outrebounding the Rockets 53-37 and the Rockets only shot 32.9% from the floor as the Cavs were awesome on D. LeBron James led the way for the Cavaliers last night with 29 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in only 29 minutes on the floor. Mo Williams also had a solid game with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Shaquille O’Neal had one of his better games of the year for the Cavs last night with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists in only 22 minutes. The Cavaliers are now 24-8 on the year.

Delonte West is stepping up for the Cleveland Cavaliers.  In his last 5 games (all off the bench), West has averaged 25.0 minutes, 10.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game.  West is also shooting 60% from the floor over his last five games as he has really been a weapon lately for the Cavs.  West has now played in 22 games (0 starts) for the Cavs this season and he is averaging 21.6 minutes, 7.0 points, 1.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game.  The Cavaliers really need West to keep playing well as he was such a big part of the team last year.

The Cavaliers played a almost perfect game yesterday to thrash the Lakers in L.A. as they shot 54.3% from the floor while holding the Lakers to 36.5% shooting from the floor. Mo Williams led the attack for the Cavs with 28 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. LeBron James had his usual good game with 26 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. Jamario Moon pitched in with 13 points and 1 rebound in 24 minutes off the bench on 6 of 7 shooting from the floor. The Cavaliers are now 23-8 on the year.

The Cavaliers outscored the pesky Kings 13-0 in overtime thanks to big Z who dropped 8 points including 2 3-pointers in O.T. LeBron James led the way for the Cavs last night with 34 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists last night. Mo Williams actually went into the locker-room hurt early in the game but he came back and played 40 minutes in which he scored 27 points, grabbed 1 rebound and he dished out 3 assists. Zydrunas Ilgauskas had by far his best game of the year for the Cavs last night as he finished up with 25 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot in only 26 minutes on the floor. The Cavaliers are now 22-8 on the year.

When Anthony Parker signed with the Cavs he was slotted to back-up Delonte West but he was forced into the starting line-up due to West’s off the court problems. He has responded by playing in 29 games (all starts) for the Cavs this season and he is averaging 28.7 minutes, 7.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Those are not great numbers for a starting shooting guard in the NBA, but, he has been a deadeye from three point range hitting 50% from behind the arc. Still, Parker better pick up his game if he wants to stay in the starting line-up because Delonte West is starting to get his act together lately off the bench for the Cavs.
