(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he would probably be too upset to write coherently right now anyway.)
Let’s see if I have this right. There were only two games on the NBA slate Thursday night. In our first game we had Cleveland, the second seed in the East, versus Miami, the forth seed; and in game two we had Phoenix, the second seed in the West, versus San Antonio, the third seed. Heavyweight match-ups, indeed.
Tonight was like going to a rock concert and not having to sit through a local opening act. There were no bottom-feeders, no lottery position battles, no all-star DNPs, no fake injuries, no talks about what college star would fit best where, no tanking, no first-round playoff chum, no excuses, no ifs, no ands, and no buts. Tonight was pre-playoff playoff basketball. You either brought the noise, or you lost and watched your seeding slip. And for the fans, tonight was can’t miss programming. I bet even Boney watched.
Well, I’m going to leave the recaps and analysis to Jack Cobra, who will be following me as Friday’s Yaysports! NBA master of ceremonies du jour, but I will leave you with this picture of an not-quite-upset-more-like-slightly-perturbed Coach Mike to assist you in your own conclusions. Oh, the potential if I only knew Photoshop.
As always, it was a pleasure to serve you this Thursday. Parting is indeed such sweet sorrow. See you next a week from now, same bat-time, same bat-web site. Peace.
