Lady Cavs Fall Just Shy Of Top Eight In Tourney

... the way through the batting order and halfway through it again with nearly every Lady Cav recording a run. Tia Gwynn and Smith were both perfect at the plate as they went 2-2, and they both scored two runs. Madison Dixon went 2-3 and scored two runs as well, but her highlight was leading the team in RBIs with three off a home run in the third inning. Hunt also had two RBIs in the game. Phillips moved to 1-1 on the season after pitching all four innings. She allowed one unearned run off four hits, and she struck out four batters. Union County 2. Cookeville 1. @: The Lady Cavs suffered their first loss of the tournament in their first game on Saturday as they dropped a 2-1 decision to Union County. Union County jumped out in front in the second inning as they scored both of their runs with a walk and two hits. CHS tried to bring it back in the fourth when Phy was walked and driven in by a double from Philips, but Smith couldn’t bring Phillips in to tie the game. Radford, Phillips, and Gwynn recorded hits in the game with ...

... such streak of all time. Michael Jordan scored at least 10 points in an NBA-best 866 consecutive games. James' streak dates to Jan. 5, 2007. This was James' 21 st game with at least 30 points this season. Kyrie Irving added 23 points in 46 minutes for the Cavs. J. R. Smith scored 18 points on six 3-pointers. Thompson contributed 12 points and nine rebounds. Former Cav C. J. Miles torched his old team for 27 points off the bench. Thaddeus Young added 19 points for Indiana, which has lost four straight and six of seven. Smith gave the Cavs a 114-113 lead with 2.8 seconds left in overtime on his fifth 3-pointer of the night and his 13 th in the last three games. But George was fouled by Thompson from 22 feet away with 2.1 seconds to go, and made one of two free throws to tie it. Love's pass for James on the low block was tipped away by George, and it was George who missed a 3 at the end of the first overtime. The Cavs led 91-77 ...

Are The Cavaliers Still Nba Finals Contenders

... Getty Images. The Case For. Well, it certainly helps for Cleveland to have the best player in the world on its roster. Le Bron James has made many people a lot smarter than me look foolish for questioning his ability to carry a team all the way. James will play heavy minutes in the playoffs, and if he’s willing to lock in on tougher defensive assignments, he could buoy the offense while maybe bringing the defense closer to championship level. An extra dose of James (whose minutes are already quite high) could also theoretically improve the play of his often erratic supporting cast. And while Boston potentially having homecourt advantage in an East Finals matchup is no joke, the East is still very much set up for the Cavs to make it all the way. Le Bron has no true individual rival in his conference, and the Celtics—who seem to be peaking at the right time—are still an unproven bunch. Playoff basketball is a whole different animal, and every NBA champion this decade took some pretty tough losses before climbing the mountain top, the kind of losses and games the Celtics haven’t even played in yet. And if James personally takes on the defensive challenge against ...

The Cookeville High School baseball team had an extremely dominating performance on Saturday as the Cavaliers routed Powell High School 17-6 at PHS. The Cavs got things started right away as they scored three runs in both the first and second innings. They didn’t score any in the third inning, but they also kept the Panthers scoreless through the first three. The Cavs added more padding to their lead in the fourth as they scored five more runs, but they also allowed Powell’s first two runs to make a 11-2 game. Cookeville added the icing on the cake in the sixth inning when they scored six more runs, and Powell’s four runs just weren’t enough to overcome the Cavs’ big lead and CHS won 17-6. CHS rattled off a staggering 18 hits in the contest with Cody Hutcherson and Luke Hayslette leading the team by having perfect 3 for 3 days at the ...

Is The Beat Writer Worried About The Cavaliers? 'hey, Joe

... month) told me this is by far the worst travel month of his 14-year career. The Cavs will have played 12 of 17 on the road when March is over. I also think there is ample time to get right. And if the nonsense we see continues, there is still a fall-back option. Le Bron James and Irving are good enough to carry this team through multiple playoff series. Korver comes back healthy, and now there's a viable, game-changing threat coming off the bench. Those three were enough to push the Cavs through February with a 9-2 record. At some point, the other talented pieces on this roster (read Kevin Love and J. R. Smith) could come together almost by accident. So am I worried about the Cavs' playoff future? Not yet. Hey, Joe: Le Bron James is not right. Can't tell if it is physical or emotional. The whole team seems to be sleepwalking. What is the ...

The way the game is played is different, in part because of Embry, now a consultant for the Toronto Raptors, and the other members of the NBA's Competition Committee. The 3-pointer? He voted for that, even though it was contrary to everything he had been taught in basketball. "It's what we always wanted, for the other team to shoot outside," he said. "But they all felt we (big men) had become too dominant.". The zone defense? He voted for that too. "The way to beat it is ball movement. That is always good," he said. He wants to re-configure the 3-point arc, eliminating the corner three. "It's too easy a shot," he said. "There would be more driving and more exciting plays at the rim.". Embry dislikes the trend to rest star players. "You can't compromise the competition," he said. A global game. In a xenophobic time, Embry proudly notes that NBA rosters include players from North America, South America, Africa, Asia, ...

Can The Cavs Flip The Switch In The Playoffs

... commentary. Read into Kyrie Irving’s evident frustrations. Cavs general manager David Griffin has expressed that his team plays its best as a response to adversity, yet there are cracks in Cleveland’s defensive performance that threaten to become fissures. Little in the way the Cavs are acting and reacting suggests the knowing resolve of a championship team. If James and Irving knew exactly where to locate the switch, they’d flip it. There’s no satisfaction to be had in getting punked by the Spurs on national television, much less in dropping nine of the team’s 15 games this month. So much of the Cavs’ season has come uphill. Their every performance is a slow-developing morass, the kind that creates enough disarray as to delay most actions involved. When James lashed out at his team and its need for “f-ing playmaker,” he did so amid the pressure to keep up with all that Cleveland’s porous defense allowed. Even at their best, the Cavs have largely been a team that overwhelms—one that takes an opponent’s best shot but responds in kind with James, Irving, Love, and a barrage of three-pointers. Are We Sure The Cavs Are Still Title Contenders. Even that should ...

Cavs Aren't Only Team Ready To Rid Themselves Of March Sadness

... road and eight at home, and will face Detroit at the Bradley Center on Friday. The Bucks are 13-4 in March, which includes five back-to-backs and a tough six-game trip on which the team went 4-2. Among Milwaukee’s March victims: the Clippers twice, Toronto, Portland, Atlanta and Boston. But there are teams that share the Cavs’ glum view of March. Chief among them are the Pistons, who will wrap up a 17-game month in Milwaukee, and currently stand at 6-10 in March. When the month began, they were 29-31 and holding the eighth seed. They’ve been a disaster since, with a margin of minus-4.8, and are now 2.5 games out of the playoff hunt. The arrest of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on suspicion of DUI has only punctuated a rotten stretch in Detroit. DEVENEY: From obscurity to stardom, what's next for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

But a seven-game losing streak in the meat of the month hurt Atlanta on its way ...
