While the now-swept Magic’s Grant Hill considers retirement, we sit back in the wake of the Cavaliers’ going up 3-0 on the Wizards wondering one thing, and one thing only:
How is 30/6/9 a “near triple double”, as the Associated Press would have you believe? That’s a nice line for LeBron and all, but it’s not really close to a triple double at all. (We’d put like 30/9/10 or even 30/9/9 as a “near triple double”.)
Anyway, we’re not ready to declare anything at all about this team with their recent history, but when the Wiz made a push last night, LeBron et al were everywhere, doing everything, and doing it with some serious intensity.
Yeah, so blah blah blah, this one is all but over, and everyone knows it at this point, which means it’s time to look at ahead a bit at the absolutely terrifying prospect of the New Jersey Nets in round 2. To intensify our fears, let’s journey over to this new blog featuring none other than infamous commentor and Nets fan Becky, who seemingly has aligned with our nemesis StopMikeLupica.
The East is wide open. I want the Nets to win it all. And they can do it. God help me, I know they can do it. They just have to get out of the first round….
Come on, boys. Do it for me. Do it for my mom. Do it for Joe Nets Fan, and the guys at NetsDaily, and every fan who has ever made the trek to the Swamp, and every fan who has not been fortunate enough to be able to do so. But most of all, do it for yourselves. It will be beautiful, and it will feel amazing. I promise.
Are we correct that there’s no way this type of emotional, destiny-ish talk is viable when referencing the Nets? The Nets who have MR. VINCE CARTER?
Is there anyone less deserving of such lavish love, respect, and hero-worship? No, there isn’t, which makes this next round all the more horrific to even think about. Of course, considering LBJ didn’t try for most of the year, we can’t really get behind him other than because we’re CLE fans.
This whole season has been confusing as hell, and for more reasons than just that we didn’t watch most of it. Who’s good? Who’s bad? Why are the Cavs gonna lose to a barely .500 team in Round 2?
(Or maybe LeBron is officially trying now. We await Monday.)

Like I said over in that comments section, there are 11 other guys on that team that DO deserve it.
And let’s see…who else is a certifiably awesome superstar who would be completely dominant if he didn’t pussy out and settle for jump shots and coast through full games at a time?
Oh wait, you didn’t know if I was talking about Vince or LeBron there, did you?
See what I did right there? I just dropped some fucking knowledge on your head.
Love you.
I didn not just read a post that already had the Cavs in the second round.

Just trying to reverse any curse that your assumptions may have put on my team. Stranger things have happened to Cleveland fans.

I wrote that!
Mikki Moore deserves a Finals’ Trophy more than anybody. Nenad too.
Zach Randolph demands to win National Bingo Night.
Hence I called you off your pedestal to remind you that you, yourself, the Great Cavalier said that your boy ain’t no better than mine.
You and I, we are cut from the same cloth.
Cliche, cliche, yada yada, cliche.
How am I infamous?
Yo, you’re suppose to link when you say my name, Mr. Cavalier. Respect!
Keep this up and I’m gonna downgrade you to “bitter archrival” status.
Sometimes I think they’re not trying and other times I just think LeBron thinks he can shoot. The dribble until there is one-second on the shot clock, he’s been doing that his whole career.
Who knows. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised by anything they did.
I’ll even go as far to say that 30-8-8 is a near triple double.
Only the Cavs can blow a 17 point lead that quickly…
30-9-10 is closer to Dolly Parton than it is to a triple double.
I do know one thing about this series… if I was a CLE or WIZ fan and I didn’t live in CLE or WAS and didn’t have NBATv, I’d be pissed. I’m going to take NJN in the 2nd round, but only because they’re more balanced than CLE!
