“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.

home Game 2
Cleveland vs. sacrAmento Tipoff: 7:30
pm, Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010
Oct. 26, 2010 Tonight’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings marks the Cleveland Cavaliers third game of the 2010-11 regular season. The Cavs have won eight consecutive games against Sacramento, including both matchups against the Kings in 2009-10. The last time these two teams met, Antawn Jamison tallied 26 points and nine rebounds to lead the Cavs to a 97-90 victory at Quicken Loans Arena on March 28, 2010. The Cavs are 51-51 all-time against the Kings, including 33-18 at home.
Cavs head coach Byron Scott
With Byron Scott at the helm, the Cavs went 6-2 in the preseason, their best since 2004. There are six new players on the team, but some familiar faces led the Cavs to an impressive preseason. Daniel Gibson poured in a team-high 14.4 points, while J.J. Hickson added 14.3 points and a team-best 8.1 rebounds. In the last two preseason games, Anthony Parker had just one turnover, while chipping in 14.0 points and 4.5 assists in 35.5 minutes per game. The Cavaliers are playing their second home game of the regular season tonight. After the Cavs home game against Atlanta on Tuesday, the team will go on a three-game road trip with stops in Philadelphia, Washington and New Jersey.
The Kings are led by last season’s NBA Rookie of the Year, Tyreke Evans, who averaged 14.3 points and 5.0 assists during the preseason. Last June, they drafted DeMarcus Cousins with the fifth overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, and he also averaged 14.3 points to go along with a team-best 8.0 rebounds in the preseason. The Cavs and Kings will wrap up their two-game series on March 16th at ARCO Arena.
