It was a very satisfying win yesterday, just watching all the dejected Bulls fans faces was worth it. But I've got a guarded optimism. The Cavs are hurt, Kyrie is only running at about 50% and he is the only other consistent scoring threat for them.

The rest of this series is going to be tough and I think they can win it, and even get past either the Hawks or Wizards in the conference finals. But beating the west with only 1.5 of the big 3 is going to be a tall order.

Its all on Lebron from here on out, yesterday was a good sign he can shoulder the load.

I'm not a huge NBA fan, but my team is the Celtics (although for Stranger and my brother-in-law I'm rooting for the Cavs this year). Anyway, this is an amazingly good article about Kevin Garnett.

It's not just about Garnett either, but what a person must do and be like to win in professional sports.

I will never forget KG, Sprewell, and Sam "The Alien" Cassel taking the T-Wolves to the playoffs about a dozen years ago.

Seems like the Cavs got a bye in the Eastern Conference finals. If they're smart, they sit Irving for the rest of the series since they don't need him against Atlanta. They will need him against the Warriors though.

I got to pull for "not Cleveland." The fabric of the universe might unravel if they win a championship.

The Cavaliers have the look of a championship team! They are playing some great ball right now and that is a TEAM from top to bottom. You can see just how hungry that team is to end this 51 years of futility. They are so exciting to watch right now.


Ohh Warriors... Come out and plaaaaaay....

Do you mean, Cmon Golden State, GO WIN!

or

Cmon, Golden State? they don't stand a chance against King James


I'm just assuming the first.. because, well.. you're Malcolm. :p

If Cleveland wins a championship, there's the slight chance that Cthulu might show up. End of times type shit.

Not gonna happen. I have never felt more confident in a championship than I do now.

I feel better about this than I did with Ohio State vs. Oregon.

The gods of fate and irony can't quite hear you. Could you speak up?

Yeah, I agree with Malcolm on that one.

It's like you've just bought a lottery ticket and are already spending the cash even though the drawing is later in the week.
