This Guy's Awesome


LeBron James is the real deal. If there were any doubts, they went away tonight. LeBron scored 48 points in tonight's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, as the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated Detroit, 109-107 in double overtime. He scored 29 of the last 30, and the last 25 points of the game for Cleveland. It was a truly awesome performance. At times, it looked like LeBron was taking on the Pistons all by himself. The Cavs have a cast of spares surrounding the great LeBron James.

The Cavs now lead the series, 3 games to 2, with a potential series-clincher Saturday night in Cleveland. The Cavs have never been to the NBA Finals. The city of Cleveland has not had a team play for a championship since 1997, when the Indians lost to the Marlins in the World Series. However, a Cleveland team has not won a championship since 1964, when the Browns won the NFL championship. That was before the Super Bowl came along. It was also before I was born.

Thanks to a guy from Akron, Cleveland has a chance.

Ya gotta look out for CLE...

By the way, what is Chris Webber doing wearing the number 84?

#84 is just OFF.

BronBron tore it up. I hope they beat DET and SA all the way!

Gotta look out for CLE!

I can't root against the Spurs, but it's hard to root against CLE.

This series with DET isn't over yet, and it is a team from Cleveland we're dealing with, so nothing is a done deal until it's a done deal.

It's done now and I will gladly root against the Spurs. The Spurs wear black hats.

The Spurs wear black jerseys. They do have the "been there, done that" factor working against them, though.

Today's Spurs are the 80's Pistons - black hat wearing bad guys.

John said...

Spurs, bad guys? What thugs do they have? The only thing they're guilty of is having a boring superstar and winning three previous championships.

As for the 80's Pistons, I liked them. I liked anyone that played the Lakers.
