Cavaliers match more records during historic March

by John Bena (aka CavsBlogger) on Apr 1, 2009 7:37 AM CDT in Cleveland Cavaliers in the News

The Cavaliers have been the NBA's best team all-season. LeBron James has been the NBA's best player all season. Perhaps it is fitting that both had the best month the Association has seen in a long, long time.

The Cavaliers as a team tied two League records last night when they beat the Pistons -
The Cavaliers now lead the Central Division by 25 games, equaling a mark set by the Boston Celtics last season.
The Cavs went 16-1 in March, becoming the 6th team in NBA history to win 16 games in a month. The 1996 San Antonio Spurs were a perfect 16-0 in March, 1996.
LeBron James also made some history in March becoming the first player since Oscar Robertson in January 1965 to score at least 479 points, 152 rebounds and 143 assists in a month. Anyone think LBJ is NOT the MVP?

All that is great, but it is what the Cavaliers do in May and June that is important. That said, it sure is fun to be a part of all this history as a Cavs fan!

Anyone think LBJ is NOT the MVP?

Of course you can still find the occasional naysayer, but I think it would be near impossible for him not to win this award. Who else can hurt the other team in so many different ways? Not only filling up the stat sheet, LeBron can single-handedly demoralize the opposing team. Besides scoring try his knack for the timely steal or run down block, the critical rebound, the dagger three-pointer and the ridiculous easy looking assists and the monster jams. He makes plays I can hardly comprehend sometimes. His impact on the game is usually the difference in most games I ’ve seen.

He is always (ALWAYS!) the best player on the court! There is no way the Cavs have close to 61 wins and are 35-1 at home without him. Most knowledgable voters understand this or they haven’t been watching anything other than points, rebounds and assists.

Hey

(Now don’t compare this team to all time greats that isn’t right. Way to early to call them even a decent team.)SARC
The Cavs just keep getting better every game. The turnovers over the last month are down and even when the shot isn’t going good the defense has been great. This team has more depth then any other team in the league. We have three guys who would/could be starters on other teams. (Andy, Wally and Sasha) Gibson is showing signs of coming out of his season long slump which is really bad for the Magic, Celts or Lakers.
