Brian Windhorst has the second installment of A Season of XL Expectations, a Cavs diary.

“Interestingly enough, the top two teams, the Magic and the Cavaliers, have separated themselves from the pack with almost a two point lead in differential on the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only are they head and shoulders above the rest, but their four factor fingerprints are mirror images of eachother. Seriously, that’s uncanny.” [Tom Haberstroh on The Four Factors]

“His exercise was restricted, as doctors took a conservative approach to his recovery.” [Mary Schmitt Boyer on Shaq returning to Cleveland]

The GooseNeck is now a GooseEye.  I’m just going to keep calling it a Goosie.

George M. Thomas on the quality of the Cavs Bench: “It says a lot about the culture of trust that Brown has created. That’s one of his primary tenets in coaching — he wants his coaches and players to trust one another. Right now it is paying dividends with the starters and especially with the bench.”

Notable commenter Colin Zvosec sets out to answer the question: Does the regular season matter?

I can’t wait for the new NBA Jam to come out.  They’ll have to nerf LeBron though, seriously LeBron+anyone would pretty much eviscerate any two NBA players.  Watching this trailer made me just giddy.  Anyone else notice the Cavs logo at the top of the screen in almost every scene, regardless of which teams are playing.  Wat up wit dat?

Speaking of NBA video games, show of hands if you’ve played THIS Gem. [Warning: Language]  BTW, the character “Balthios” is supposedly LeBron’s grandson.

Tweets:

“It’s been nearly four months since the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to a team that’s currently below .500 in the standings.” [RealCavsFans]
