Cleveland closed out the year 2008 with a 13-2 December and they look to keep the ball rolling in 2009 when the Cavs welcome their old Central Division foe, the Chicago Bulls, to The Q. The sunshine analyst weighs in from the not-too-distant future.
Some players around the league are stat-sheet stuffers.
They'll record gaudy numbers in several categories. But they don't always result in winning basketball.
Cavaliers forward-center Ben Wallace doesn't always have big numbers. But he's proven to be the perfect complementary player on a winning team.
He's seemingly turned back the clock five years to his heyday in Detroit. And, every once in a while, he'll have a big game like he did against the Miami Heat on Sunday.
