The stars are aligned for a Cavs championship. I just hope Delonte Wild West doesn't miss too many games.
It's Championship or bust for the Cavs this year.
We ran into the buzz saw that was the red hot Orlando Magic last year, but remember, this is a team coming off a NBA best 66 wins a season ago.
Oh, btw... we got better by adding more depth. Most notably: Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon, Leon Powe, Daniel Green and a certain someone by the name of Big Bad Shaq Diesel!
With that said, the East will once again be a force to be reckoned with!
Sources familiar with the search say O’Neal has rented a house in Richfield — not far from where LeBron James lives, a quick jaunt to the Cavs’ practice facility in Independence and a relatively easy commute downtown to the Q.
Shaq’s shack is a 7,000-square-foot crib with five bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths and an indoor basketball half-court, where he could play a little one-on-one with his neighbor, Indians manager Eric Wedge.
For the 2nd straight day, Delonte West has been a no show for the start of Cavaliers camp. It was well documented of his recent run in with the law and is supposedly attending to "personal issues."
I sure hope this doesn't turn out to be a distraction. This team does NOT need anything to derail the team's "one goal". In the past, Delonte has battled mental issues and personal problems. I just hope D-West gets his head straight soon.

“It’s hard to imagine the Cavs repeating their 66-16 record of a year ago, or even their dominating 39-2 mark at home. Guys get hurt. The issues with West could linger, and that will mean more minutes for Daniel Gibson as the backup point guard — a spot where he sometimes struggles dribbling the ball up the court.
But this still may be the best Cavs team — ever.”
No offense to the Cavs, but I see very eerie similarities with them and the Dallas Mavericks of a few years ago.... A Great star, some real good players but just can't seem to get over that last hump.
Last year was a PERFECT example....BEST rescord in the NBA and didn't get to the Finals. Sound familiar....?
