Boy it was really good to get out there tonight and hear my name with the rest of the guys who held down the fort until the Icon was able to get back into the game. By the way do anyone knows a good proctologist because my ass is killing me, I have not sat on the bench this long since my days in Jr. High School. Any way I hope that the coach can see that I am now serious about playing and maybe I can get some playing time against the pistons. If you remember it was against the pistons a couple of years ago that I made a name for myself, which is why danny boy sign my to this Phat, stupid contract. well got to go, wish us look we are going to need it, chow.

I would like to apologize for my pitiful play the last 2 games. I don’t know whats come over me. I mean, I really like to shoot and all, but it sucks when it doesn’t go in. I was happy with 5 pts tonight, but need to step it up if I wanna be like Pippen. I gotta decide if I wanna wear the head band…its not working lately. Oh well, gotta go practice my rapid fire 25 foot jumpers. Peace out.

I would first like to start this comment with an apology to Donyell Marshall. I ripped him in my previous post above and I will in turn praise him for his absolutely clutch game tonight. Without his 3-ball tonight, Cavs loose, end of story. Donyell, in the off chance you read my post and it got you a little pissed, well, I will disavow my earlier comment. That being said, we still blew a 22 point lead which is, for a lack of a better term, pathetic. I have no idea what to fell about this team. We could get swept by detroit, we could beat them in 5. I simply have no clue anymore. LETS GO CAVS, F THE LASERS.

OH, MY GOD, DID U SEE FERRY AND BROWN, HUGGING EACH OTHER AFTER THE GAME. WELL THAT IS IT, WE ARE STUCK WITH MIKE BROWN, AS THE COACH OF THE TEAM. Props to gibson for stepping up also marshall, bring it against the pistons and maybe we will have a chance, what the hell is wrong with sasha, he is so inconsitent.

I can’t believe this but twice this week I find myself agreeing with Tucker. I too enjoyed those podcasts, not only from BW but the rest of the staff. Gave me something to listen on my iPod on the way home from work here in MN.

Hell hath frozen over, shoot my now!

Hey, whatever happened to those Windhorst Podcasts? I kind of liked them. If nothing else, at least post a link to a replay of Reghi going on and on and on and on about Danny Ferry and how wonderful Larry Hughes is. I still remember that memorable line, “I can’t be more *effusive* about it.” Crisp audio and classic Reghi. What more can you ask from a Podcast? You could almost hear the starch coming off his shirt as he said it.

It’s not going to happen, but this blog’s comments section is an unintentionally hilarious microcosm of why the Nets need to win the series. Fans with their heads up so far up their intestines, they can eat their polyps for lunch. One day the Cavaliers are the greatest pure team since the 1977 Trailblazers, the next day they’re worse than the bulldogs in the WNBA.

Who wants to bet that after they beat the Nets and go on the next round, these exact same people will be all atwitter again? Probably with the soundtrack of Queen’s “We Are the Champions” blaring in the background.

The fact that local sportswriters take the readers along for the ride doesn’t help, but you’d think some fans would have serious smarts and would be able to see through the BS. Who knows, maybe these people actually exist out there, but it’s simply because they don’t have the wide platform of fans like Windhorst, Pluto, et al., who evidently cut classes to lie in the sun on those days when their journalism professors lectured about objectivity.

At least George Thomas seems willing to occasionally write what’s been obvious to anybody with two semi-objective eyes. Maybe Bill Livingston could do the same if he can just find the time to get his two lips off of LeBron’s iconic behind.

With the Northeast Ohio media firmly behind Dan Gilbert and Danny Ferry, no wonder Gilbert is laughing all the way to the bank. P.T. Barnum had nothing on this guy.

I’m not sure Wade is a better outside shooter–he just doesn’t shoot from that far out very often. He only hit about 27 percent in 3 pointers this past year. Either he has the natural mindset to drive first and take mid-range shots, or he’s been coached to play that way.

I wonder how many 3 pt. shots LeBron would take if he played for the Heat.

HERE IS THE BOTTOM LINE PEOPLE….

LEBRON JAMES CANNOT WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE CAVALIERS WITHOUT ANOTHER STAR PLAYER!!!

If somebody can show me another team that has won a ring without atleast 2 great players, please post it here. I am sure it has happened, but it is definitely the exception to the rule.

Last year the Heat would not have won without Wade AND Shaq, and the Laker teams would not have won without Kobe AND Shaq. And the mighty Bulls teams would not have won without Jordan AND Pippen.

Of all the current teams left in the playoffs, the Cavs are the only team without atleast 2 really good players. Shit, even the Nets have 2 great players in Kidd and Carter.

Wake up white people.
