A story in Scene Magazine details what it's like covering a player with bipolar disorder like Cavs guard Delonte West.

I didn't comment to the reporter when I was contacted. Some of my colleagues did. It's an interesting take on the story.

Just like there are no handbooks for which the Cavs to refer to about dealing with players with bipolar disorder, the same goes for the media.

NOTES
-- The Cavs' halfcourt offense is still largely ineffective. "We’re still learning," forward LeBron James said. "On the offensive end, it takes a little longer. If you’re not on the same page, you can look out of sync."
-- "Entourage" star Jeremy Piven was sitting courtside on Thursday. Of course, Piven and LeBron James have become friends after the latter appeared on the hit show on HBO.
-- In their last four games, the Cavs have held their opponents to 41 percent shooting (128 of 311) from the field and 86 points.
-- Anderson Varejao has recorded double-doubles in consecutive games for only the fourth time in his career.
