Almost time for the NBA playoffs. The Cavaliers have clinched a playoff spot. Can they wring some magic out of it? They proved last night that they have the stuff to win even without LeBron running the floor. Andy Varejao has really come a long way and proved that he deserved that contract. I always thought he did. I like what he adds to the team. Z has been on fire this whole season...compared to 2 years ago when I was totally, totally NOT a fan of his...he was dragging. NOW he looks like he still wants to play.

Wally S. is doing the team good. Ben Wallace needs to get well. If we are going into playoffs, we need the team firing on all pistons (no pun intended). The WHOLE team.

I hope my Cleveland Indians can pull some fire out of themselves this year. I think baseball players and basketball players have it SO much worse than football players! Look at ALL the games they have to play...back to back! Football players only have to play an actual game once a week!

The Tribe has come hot out of the gate...even given the frigid temps. Sizemore gets better every year and I am happy to see Carmona has improved also. Cabrera was good last year but his abilities waxed and waned. Hopefully he can hold more consistancy this year. I would REALLY like to see more from Hafner this year. Not that he is my favorite player or anything. Just becuz my brother is constantly told that he looks just like the guy (and my brother plays ball really well himself...even though he just turned 40).

I won't be paying TOO much attention to the NFL draft this year...especially since the Browns have had their draft already. Lots of trading and signing of veteran players. They have had enuff time to build the team back up with rookies. Now it is time to plug the holes with guys that KNOW the game and can hit the ground running (again...no pun intended). Romeo is doing just what the team needs done. As a die hard Browns fan, I can say that with the team the Browns have NOW, they had better be making it into the playoffs if not all the way to the Superbowl this year. We have been very long suffering fans.
