So LeBron had to pour it on last night! Good thing for us Jason Kidd can't carry his team.
I am also thrilled with the rebounding of the Cavs. AND Z! Last year's playoffs he looked like dead weight! He has been doing alot of incredible work this season. Do you think his contract was threatened? Or was it the facial hair that was slowing him down?
It's 11:30 at night and I am not going to hang on much longer...if I do I will update my post.
As it stands the Cavs have won the first two games of the playoff series against the NY Nets. They are showing some lagging..but they ALWAYS do some energy pumping in the 4th quarter.
The Spurs took the first game in the series against the Suns...that was a surprise. After all, the Suns are pretty tuff competitors. But, as Golden State has shown, in the playoffs anything can happen. As I'm writing this, their second game isn't halfway done, yet and they are neck and neck.
The Indians are losing their standing at the top of the AL Central...unless they can keep their place ahead of the Angels. Right now it is the bottom of the 6th and the Indians are up 3-0. If we pull this out, we can keep that half step ahead of the Tigers for a day or two longer. As stats go, there are only two teams ahead of us, overall...Red Sox (of course) and Brewers. It is just so wonderful to be in front of the White Sox for a while.
*btw...the Indians won over the Angels 5-1 and the Suns ended up whomping the Spurs.
You know what really makes me feel good? Seeing the Indians still perched (albeit precariously) at the top of the AL Central standings. I realize the Detroit Tigers ( DETROIT!) are breathing down our necks so closely that we can smell what they had for lunch a week ago...but for now I can enjoy it!. And after two drubbings in a row by the Orioles, it was a relief to see the Indians find their footing again and dismantle that nest!
And, another relief...the Cavs managed to squeak past the Nets in the first of the 7 game series. I hope that we don't go the whole 7 games! LeBron was ill but pulled it out pretty well. Gooden was on fire and Pavlovic managed to pull his weight. And then there is Sideshow-Bob-Anderson-Varajo...he was his usual energetic, quick self! We just might make it to the Big One! The only thing MORE shocking was to see the Suns fall to the Spurs! OUCHIE!!!
Do the Patriots REALLY think that Randy Moss is going to help them get back to the Super Bowl? That boy is almost more trouble than he's worth.
SSSOOOOO....just HOW mad do you think Mark Cuban is? Imagine! Having the #1 basketball team and getting trounced by #8 basketball team? I am sure he is throwing one of his famous fits all over the place today...and tomorrow...and the next day....and so on and so on.
I am just happy that the Cavs could pull the win off in 4 games and hope that they use their extra rest time wisely. They need to get the 3 pointers! They had better be practicing that!
Now...for my Browns (oh, yeah...I'm a Cleveland Fan with some cheering for the Colts on the side)
I am thrilled with their choices in the draft...altho I am a wee bit worried about Brady Quinn. I really hope that he doesn't turn out to be another Charlie Frye. AND I hope that our offensive tackles get it together this year. I was really sad to see Troy Smith go to the Ravens. I think that boy is WAY too good for that motley crew.
Oh, and Chad Johnson in trouble with the law? I'm thinkin' those stripes on the Bengals uniforms are more prison stripes than tiger stripes.
That brings me around to my beloved Cleveland Indians!
Travis Hafner! League leader in batting average! And the Indians at this moment in time is at the top of the AL Central. I am going to enjoy this while I can...actually ahead of the ChiSox and Tigers. DANG! I just gotta luv 'em!
And as a side note (um..football again)...as a Cleveland fan you have to know how much I despise the Ravens AND the Steelers (altho that is just a healthy rivalry). It is going to be so very weird seeing someone else at the helm of the Steelers this year. I got so used to seeing Bill Cowers ugly mug! We'll see how well they rally. Of course, I'm still waiting for the Browns to get their act together!
