Ladewski: Did LeBron and Cavs make your jaw drop?
OAKLAND, Calif. — LeBron James has dropped many a jaw in his NBA career, but if he can continue to pull this off, then his legacy will have to be revised if not totally rewritten. This is the NBA Finals, and the Cavaliers have no business at the present moment to be in a dead heat with the Golden State Warriors. They are without Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, two All-Star starters. They’re without Anderson Varejao, once their best inside defender. They
Fantasy Spin: Sunday Baseball Action Starts Early
There are 14 MLB games this afternoon, with many big-money contests at DraftKings closing at 1:05 Eastern. There’s also one night game, which few of us will be watching as Game Two of the NBA Finals tips off at the same time. [Read more…]
Hubbard: Underdog LeBron earning different type of respect
If Stephen Curry and LeBron James line up next to each other, it looks like Marty McFly standing beside the Incredible Hulk, which, oddly in a way, works in Curry’s favor. Curry obviously is a player with stellar skills and during the playoffs, he has continued to demonstrate his worthiness as the Most Valuable Player, which he won for his play in the regular season. With an average of 29.7 points in 16 games, he ranks second in scoring behind only

SH Blog: Irving out for rest of Finals; Iverson denies being drunk during famed “practice” rant
“Obviously you can see in the tone of my voice I’m a little bit worried.” That’s what Kyrie Irving said about his knee injury to a group of reporters just after Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and his suspicion became a worst-case scenario on Friday when the Cleveland Cavaliers announced that the point guard would miss the remainder of the games after an MRI revealed a fractured left kneecap. More from NBA.com: [Read more…]
PODCAST: Optimism in Cleveland? Actually, yes
No Kyrie Irving? No problem. Yes, that is the optimist’s outlook in Cleveland heading into Game 2. If Irving is done for the year, no worries — as they would say in Australia. I was not expecting to find much optimism among Clevelanders following the Cavs’ Game 1 loss in which Irving aggravated his knee injury, but then I went on 92.3 The Fan radio in Cleveland with Adam “The Bull” and was hit with a dose of non-negativity that seemed so
Sheridan: The Mourning After in Cleveland
The sun came up the East today in Cleveland, but the gloom did not burn off like the morning fog. No Friday has ever felt like the one the poor folks in Cleveland had to endure. After being one shot away from a Game 1 victory, after watching Kyrie Irving do a little of everything — nothing bigger than his block of Stephen Curry’s layup attempt with 25 seconds left in regulation — after getting almost nothing from their bench yet
