LeBron James has been named the NBA's Player of the Month for November, the eighth time he's won that award in his six-year career. More importantly, the Cavaliers are absolutely rolling, at 14-3 after winning four games in five nights by an average of 20 points each. Granted, all four games were against relatively weak teams, but still, winning four games in five days is never easy.
This very well might be the best team the Cavaliers have put on the floor in the team's 37-year history. The difference from last year is Mo Williams, who is putting up 15.7 a game, with 4.6 assists against 2.2 turnovers. Delonte West and Wally Szczqzxzerbiak have had some time to get settled in after last year's midseason trade, and 33-year-old Zydrunas Ilgauskas is quietly having a fine year, in his 11th NBA season, all as a Cav. Z is averaging 15.6 a game in just 26.6 minutes, and if he keeps that up all year (I know, there's still a long way to go, but bear with me), that would be his highest scoring output in three years.
The Cavs have the Knicks at home tomorrow night. They should win by a couple of dozen.

this is the year for the Cavs', Steve -- their best chance at an NBA title. LeBron is as dominant as ever, and Z is winding down his career and this will be his last really effective year. Not to mention Ben Wallace, whose skills are eroding, but he still has one more title run in his body. Plus they have the secret weapon, Boobie, and a first-rate point guard (as you mention in your post). This is the year, Steve -- order your champaign now for a June celebration!
