Cavs are clicking

What can I say about the Cavaliers' 121-85 domination tonight of the team formerly known as the Baltimore Bullets? Big Z (no, not Zapp Brannigan) went 10-for-10 from the field, and for once, someone other than LeBron led the team in scoring. Sure, he had 24 to James' 23, but still.

The Cavs outscored the Wizards 43-17 in the third quarter, and that's when the game was decided. What did Mike Brown tell the Clevelanders at halftime? Did someone slip some amphetamines into their Gatorade? And what did Eddie Jordan tell the visiting Washingtonians? It was a respectable 52-46 at halftime, but perhaps he sensed the game was getting out of reach and said, "Listen, fellas, we all know we aren't good enough to beat these guys. They proved it in the playoffs the last two years. So let's not bother to defend, and just jack up some prayers at the offensive end, and save up some energy to go dancing in the Flats later."

Really, it's amazing how well the Fightin' LeBrons played tonight. The Wizzes came in on a 7-of-9 winning jag, and have been playing about as well as anyone outside of New England. But they looked like a high school team against the Cavs. The AP reports: According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Cavaliers, who had a season-low six turnovers, are the first team since 1969 to have at least 39 assists and six or fewer turnovers.

The Cavs have won 11 of their last 13, and are starting to remind us how they managed to win the Eastern Conference last year. I'm starting to get excited about this team again.
