Farewell To All My Bloggers 

While doing this project for two semesters now I was lucky enough to have the same professor for two different classes but in consecutive semesters. This project is a very good way for teachers to get students passionate about writing. The reason being is you allow the student to experiment with the backgrounds or how you want your specific blog to look. This makes it one of a kind. Differentiating between backgrounds of all types of people really broadens how we view our peers. After looking over others blogs it is slightly humorous to see what other people are passionate about. You can tell by what other classmates comment if they are intrigued by what interests you. This project should continue on. I recommend this to educate people who like to share work or vent about whatever is on their mind. I will continue on with my blog. As I hope my classmates do. As well as previous peers who did this project. Norris is a stud...not Chuck. He knows who I'm talking about,

LBJ & Company Takes On The Knicks In Prime Time Tonight

As the Cavaliers look for a victory tonight in a much anticipated double header on ESPN, Kyrie Irving need to contribute the way he has been doing this season. Leading the team in scoring with 24.4 points per game and adding close to five assists per game. LeBron is averaging 23.9 ppg, a stunning 9 assists per game, and almost eight rebounds as well. The Cav's need to come out strong and stick it to them on the defensive end where they have been weak of late. Also they need to create turnovers for easy transition buckets that could lead to three point plays. Irving is shooting lights out behind the three point line even though Kevin love is shooting a better 43 percent from the arch while leading the team in rebounds per game. I have seen much improvement in Love's play becoming more vocal. Calling for the ball and having teammates trust in him will boost his confidence even more. He starting to look like the K-Love acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves three years back.

Will Phil Jackson Regret Comment Made Towards LBJ...!

New York Knicks president Phil Jackson says he made a mistake when referring to another team's play AKA "Bron Bron"; occurring last month the comment included the word "posse" talking about the Cavaliers star players business associates. In Jackson's defense he claimed, "The obvious thing is, the word itself carries connotation. And I just don't understand that...that part of the word," Jackson added. "So I GUESS word choice could be something I COULD regret. But talking about other teams' players is outside the box." James and his business partner Maverick Carter roasted Jackson last month for what they believed was an intentional wack at the Cavaliers by the 11 time championship coach. I mean he coached Michael Jordan (GOAT). He even coached KOBE Bryant and Shaq. To me this looks like an act of jealous that he can't get in on LBJ's talents and win ships with him. Also why would Jackson say I guess and could, this dude meant the things that he said. That's a shame I had mad respect for that coach.

J.R. Smith's Knee Injury Is Not As Serious As Predicted 

On Tuesday J.R. Smith's left knee showed no damage structurally during his MRI. The Cavaliers guard is day to day with what was diagnosed as a knee contusion after missing Wednesday night's game against the New York Knicks. Smith was battling tenderness in the knee for a few weeks now. The team is considering giving him time off to rest the sore knee. He returned home to Cleveland to his knee further examined, instead of making the trip to New York. He had surgery on his knee in 2013, when he was playing for the Knicks. J.R. is 31 years old, recently signing a four year, $57 million deal in October to stay with his boys and the defending NBA champions. Although he has struggled this season averaging 7.8 points per game and shooting a career low 31 percent. It is still to early to tell if this was a bust, but hopefully the season is still young and he will begin to shine like we are all accustomed to seeing.

Cavs End Three Game Skid Against The Raptors, Losing J.R. Smith To Knee Injury

The Cleveland Cavaliers lost J.R. Smith to a left knee injury early in the game, though LeBron James would not allow his team to let up on the Toronto Raptors one bit. Smith injured his knee early in the first quarter after landing on a jump shot and hobbled to the locker room in considerable pain. The X-rays taken came back negative. He will be further evaluated in the next few days. Kevin Love had 28 points and 14 rebounds. Leading the team with his thirteenth double double and his third in a row against the Raptors. James scored a season high 34 points as the Cavs finally ended a three game losing streak with a 116-112 victory. It was also their third straight victory over the Raptors this season. Remember, this is the same Raptors team that the Cavs beat on the way to the championship in last year's Eastern Conference Finals.

Chicago Bulls=D-Wade, 
Cleveland Cavaliers=Bron Bron, K-Love, & Uncle Drew 
Last Friday, LeBron played against former teammate and best friend, Dwayne Wade for the first time since Wade left the Miami Heat to join the Bulls. James finished the game with 27 points, 13 assists, but he also had a season high eight turnovers. It was Chicago's 78 points in the paint that really stood out. This came after Cleveland was outscored 68-34 in the paint during the Milwaukee Bucks and 30-18 against the los Angeles Clippers. It's the first three game losing streak during the time under head coach Tyronn Lue after being named head coach midway through last season. The good news was Lue took responsibility to "come up with better defensive schemes." Although the players need to play better one on one defense.

The Friendship That The NBA Cannot Change

You cannot say that one of the greatest friendships errupted when LeBron decided to leave Cleveland and take his talents to Miami. They choreographed a multi-segment handshake with Wade that featured LeBron James' signature stomp celebration and performed it at Dwayne Wade's wedding atop the alter right after they said vows, I do's, and the first kiss. Wade tells a story that one night after a playoff practice Wade yelled to LeBron he was going to be late to dinner and explains this: "My wife wouldn't know what to order," Wade says, but Bron's like, I got it." Two years ago, a dinner in New Orleans, Union (Wade's wife) could only watch, merely confused, as James picked sea bass for Dwyane who has a dislike for fish. "It's what I wanted." Wade later explains laughing, "Bron got me on sea Bass."

Dwayne Wade Laughs About LeBron's Cubs Gear: "He looks great"

Cubs fans had to wit 108 years to see their team win the World Series...amazing right. Well the fans also had to wait to see LeBron one of the most famous athletes pay a bet due to Dwyane Wade who was acquired this off season by the Chicago Cubs. But since the Cleveland Indians didn't win the World Series LeBron had to wear the Cubs uniform. LeBron James arrived to the Cleveland Cavaliers' game against the Chicago Bulls in a full Cubs uniform, as promised, to settle a wager with his former teammate Dwayne Wade. From the blue Cubs cap with a red "C" atop his head to the white pinstriped jersey and baseball pants and all the way down to blue stirrups on his feet, James fulfilled his obligation after the Cubs beat the Indians 8-7 in a Game 7 one month ago to the day.
