CLEVELAND, OHIO - As the Cleveland Cavaliers gear up for an XL season, FOX Sports Ohio helps get fans ready too by featuring special Cavs programming throughout the month of October, or "Tip-tober". In the return of Tip-tober, FOX Sports Ohio features various programs, including Cavaliers Showcase replays, Cavaliers Roundtables, and Cavs preseason games. A complete listing of the Tip-tober schedule is below.


Ohio's leading regional sports network will air three Cavaliers Showcase replays. The first replay, airing Monday, October 5 at 7pm, will be the Cavaliers/New York Knicks game from February 4, 2009. Lebron James scored a season-high 52 points in this game, joining Michael Jordan as the only visitors with multiple 50-point games at the present Madison Square Garden. James led the Cavs to a 107-102 victory over the Knicks.


The second replay is scheduled to air Monday, October 19 at 7pm, featuring the game from February 20, 2009, when the Cavs beat the Milwaukee Bucks 111-103. James heaved a 33-foot shot to beat the buzzer at halftime, went on to erase the Cavs' halftime deficit by scoring 16 points in less than three minutes to begin the third quarter, and finished with 55 for the night.
