The Indiana Pacers became yet another victim of a Lebron James' triple-double showcase. I don't think there is any small forward or shooting guard in the league that can stop Lebron James. He's so explosive when going to the rim or has developed into a much better jump shooter since his rookie year. The Cavs pulled out a 111-106 victory over the Pacers Sunday in route to a 8-6 record. It was a fairly close game until Lebron took over in the 4th quarter. He delivered in the clutch when Cleveland really needed the offense.
Having another veteran back in Eric Snow is well welcomed. His time on court was limited to 11 minutes, but he's a key defensive player and is a good guy to seek and give advice from throughout the course of big games. Lebron finished yesterday's contest with 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. This makes his 4th triple-double of the season and 14th of his career. Wow! No other player is the league besides Jason Kidd seems to so consistent with such overall outputs.
Cleveland has said goodbye to Anderson Varejo and his contract demands. It would've been nice to see the young scrappy Brazilian stay, but the Cavaliers can manage without him. Somehow they'll going to have to make at least one good trade this season, sooner better than later. Big Z has proven to be more productive in the early going, but Lebron simply won't score 40 or more points every game so they an extra reliable, clutch shooter on the team. The superstar needs back-up support once and a while. Finding talent in exchange for Larry Hughes is a good starting point.
