First Road Trip With the New Squad

The first road trip with the fab 4 meant picking seats on the plane they'll stay with...in fact we all tend to sit in the same seats for roadies...part of the NBA superstition I guess.

A second practice today as Mike Brown continues to keep things simple, yet for Ben, Joe, Wally and Delonte it means one day closer to feeling totally comfortable. They all are blown away by the Cleveland Clinic Courts. Joe Smith says the ribs in the players lounge are awesome.

Being around Delonte it's apparent he has a quick wit. While walking through the hallway to the locker room, Delonte noticed that posterizing dunk picture hanging on the wall from two years ago against the Celtics...the man below King James in the helpless position? Delonte.

He saw the picture and smiled..adding..."You'll have to take that down now!" Gotta protect your teammates!

It All Ends in Denver

Final game of a one month odyssey that began on October 13th to Shanghai, China, took us all over the west coast, and eventually back home tomorrow morning...probably about 15 thousand miles, over 30 days...and a win tonight would really cap things off.

This is always a big game for Mike Brown considering this is where he got his start, and met his wife, Carolyn.

And it's always a big one for LeBron and Carmelo as they go head to head for the 8th time...'Melo leads the series, 5-2.

I love the way the Cavs are playing right now...pressuring on D...and trying to get the ball up the floor...LeBron loves it too...and that's huge.

The Nuggets are just coming off an Eastern swing that saw them play 4 games back east...beating Wash and Indy after losing to Boston and Washington...they love to run as you know, and are trying to commit to defense.

A Cavs win means their best 6-game road trip in 22 years, when the coach was...George Karl, whom they'll see tonight.

See you on Cavaliers Live at 8:30 p.m.
