“Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; make it hot by striking” - William B. Sprague Cleveland,
The mission has not changed. In fact, the level of energy, motivation and determination by those of us in every part of your Cleveland Cavaliers franchise has never been higher or stronger. We will play to win. Every season. Every game. Every minute. Why? You. The thousands of emails, letters, notes, phone calls and words of support you shared with us this past summer has fueled every one of us with a further heightened sense of will-power and grit to deliver the incredibly loyal and passionate fans of the Cavaliers the ultimate prize. That prize is an NBA championship. No fan base deserves it more. No city deserves it more. Words will never express the gratitude and appreciation for the overwhelming support and confidence you showered upon this franchise over the past few months. There will be nothing we do not explore. There will be no amount of time, capital, brain-power or ingenuity we will not invest if we believe it will contribute to our chances of success. The train has left. It will not stop until it pulls into “Larry O’Brien Station #1”. I am looking forward to enjoying the ride with you. Onward and upward.

Cleveland vs. denver Tipoff: 7:30
pm, Friday, Jan. 28, 2011
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Denver Nuggets will wrap up their two-game regular season series tonight at Quicken Loans Arena. When the two teams last squared off on Jan. 15, the Cavs had seven players score in double figures, led by Ramon Sessions, who finished with 21 points and nine assists. However, the Nuggets shot 49-84 (.583) from the field, including 13-21 (.619) from long range, to win 127-99 at the Pepsi Center. Cleveland trails the all-time series 41-31. The Cavaliers are the best team in the NBA at limiting opponent offensive rebounds per game, giving up only 9.5 per contest. Against Boston on Tuesday, the Cavs had three rookies score in double figures. Christian Eyenga, who made his fourth start, had a team-high 15 points in 28 minutes against the Celtics. Manny Harris chipped in with 14 points, four rebounds and four assists in 18 minutes, while Samardo Samuels added 10 points, four rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes. The last time the Cavs had three rookies score at least 10 points in a game was December 27, 2002 at Indiana (Smush Parker – 13, Carlos Boozer – 10 and Dajuan Wagner – 10). After tonight, the Cavs will head to Florida to face Orlando on Sunday and Miami on Monday.
Cavs rookie Christian Eyenga throws down two of his teamhigh 15 points against the Celtics on January 25.
The Nuggets, who are in the midst of a five-game road trip, are the league’s highest scoring team at 107.7 points per game. They are also sixth in field goal percentage (.469) and second in threepoint shooting (.393). Their center, Nene, leads the NBA in field goal percentage, shooting .646 from the field. He had a game-high 22 points on 8-10 (.800) shooting and seven rebounds in the Jan. 15th matchup with the Cavs and is averaging 15.2 points and 7.5 rebounds this season.
