MIAMI: Coach Mike Brown got one of those gut feelings last week. That feeling told him to put second-year forward J.J. Hickson into the starting lineup against the New York Knicks.

MIAMI: LeBron James announced Friday night that the No. 23 may no longer be in his future. The Cavs' superstar said he is leaning toward changing his jersey number next season to honor NBA legend and retired Chicago Bull Michael Jordan.

MIAMI: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade put on a show and J.J. Hickson had a coming-out party during the Cavs' 111-104 win over the Miami Heat on Thursday night at American Airlines Arena.

The Cavaliers franchise has had its share of success with second rounders -- and rookie guard, Danny Green, who hopes to follow in their footsteps. The former Tar Heel took a moment to answer some questions from his Player Mailbox.

J.J. Hickson notched 11 points in the decisive third quarter and the Cavaliers made a Sunshine State sweep, knocking off the Heat on Thursday night in Miami. LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 34 points.

Coming off a big win in Orlando, the Cavaliers travel to South Beach seeking the Sunshine State sweep when they take on Dwyane Wade and the Heat. The Optimist weighs in from FLA.

Halloween in Shaker began with a father/son Freddie Krueger duo out for Nestles bars and ended hours later with the Cavs treating the Bobs to an offensive onslaught. Delonte West, recently absent from the team but always in our hearts, stepped into his Cavs costume and, in keeping with the spooky theme, #13 scored 13.

20,562 dwindled quickly. Long before the final buzzer ended the excruciating fourth quarter, fans were shaking their heads and heading to the exits. Bench points were minimal, Shaq caught the ball just outside of the optimal under-the-basket-and-plunk-it-in position, Anthony Parker showed promise and newness at the same time as an on-the-money pass from LB bounced off his head and into the stands. OK, maybe it didn't bounce off his head but you get the point. Joe Tait declared Anthony Parker the recipient of a critical lesson - when LeBron is on the floor, the ball may arrive with little notice and great force.

Always nice to begin the season with a James Naismith tribute; one man, one ball, two baskets, endless entertainment. Rob Rains, co-author of “James Naismith: The Man Who Invented Basketball”, offers a glimpse into the life of bball’s greatgranddaddy, outside of the sports arena. [Writing for the New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/25/sports/basketball/25naismith.html?_r=1&emc=tnt&tntemail1=y), Rob places basketball within the broader context of Naismith’s life, goals, experiences and passions.

[caption align="aligncenter" width="453" caption="Is LeBron James' move to go from No. 23 to No. 6 more about Michael Jordan? Or himself?"][/caption] This is something that actually should have been done a long, long time ago. Following the Cavs' win on Thursday night at Miami, LeBron James told TNT's Craig Sager that he wanted to honor Michael Jordan, who was in attendance at South Beach that night, by giving up the No. 23 for his Olympic No. 6.

Tag, you’re it! The Chicago Bulls made their second big trade in two days on Thursday, agreeing to send Larry Hughes to the Knicks for Jerome James, Tim Thomas and Anthony Roberson. “I think Chicago was very honest with Hughes and made him aware that when [Kirk] Hinrich came back, he wasn’t going to play,” Knicks president [...]

According to Larry’s Wikipedia page: Received the nickname “Big Shot Larry” after hitting a game winning shot against the Utah Jazz on November 24, 2008.

Dear Sir, Please relinquish control of your awesome website to Chicago Bulls fans like myself.  I realize you do not like the Bulls and to be honest, I am not too fond of the LeBron’s either.  But man this thing is bigger than Chicago and Cleveland’s respective NBA franchises.  You and I and every Bulls, Cavs, [...]
