Lebron James, Mo Williams | featured news

After LeBron James decided to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, one of his former teammates was so devastated he almost walked away from the game. Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Mo Williams considered retiring after James' decision, according to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports.

LeBron James had 36 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, Mo Williams scored 14 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, and the Cleveland Cavaliers surged past the Boston Celtics 108-88 on Thursday night.

With LeBron James, All-Star guard Mo Williams and other regulars resting for the playoffs, Cleveland lost for just the second time on their home floor this season, 111-110 in overtime Wednesday night to the Philadelphia 76ers.

All-Stars LeBron James and Mo Williams and veterans Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Joe Smith will not play Wednesday night against Philadelphia to rest for the playoffs, despite Cleveland attempting to match the NBA record of 40 home wins in one season.

Mo Williams scored 24 points, LeBron James added 22 and the Cleveland Cavaliers
rolled to their eighth straight win, 102-96 over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.

Once was too much for the Cleveland Cavaliers. But twice? The team was outraged last week when guard Mo Williams, who has helped the Cavaliers get off to the best start in their history, was not chosen as a reserve for the NBA All-Star team in a vote by Eastern Conference coaches.
