First off…I know that this team is polarizing as hell and that the vast majority of you can’t stand the Cavs for some reason or another, and it’s not like the Pistons or Hawks are among the league’s elite, but I really don’t give a shit. What the Cavs are doing these playoffs, and not just LeBron, the entire team, is fucking outrageous.
LeBron is so fucking good, even the most ardent hater couldn’t deny the fact that he’s playing at a level now that can only be described as transcendent. And yes, a quick qualifier, he’s been getting the benefit of the doubt by the dudes with the whistles…I mean, seriously, he should’ve had THREE fouls yesterday instead of just one. But would that have even mattered? When you’re so unconscious that you can drill a STEP-BACK 40 FOOTER right before halftime, would a couple extra fouls really make the difference when, at one point, the Cavs were up by more than 30?
Doubtful.
Yes, I’m a stringent homer, but an objective homer.
The Cavs are the best team in the East by miles and furlongs. That’s right…furlongs. I have no idea what a furlong is, but shit, if it’s got fur and it’s long, it must be beastly. Orlando and Boston both look like a couple of retards humping a light socket…that series has been one pathetic excuse for basketball, except for Rondo, who’s so fucking good, it’s absurd.
The nine days off between made me long for the regular season where I got to watch LeBron, Mo, Z, Andy and Delonte on an every-night basis. The regular season was fun, exciting, where there were the occassional close game sandwiched in between ass rapings. When the Cavs played a big-time team, I was on pins and needles all day long, much like I was during the Pistons playoff series of years past.
But now?
Hey, I like snuff films as much as any other guy, but this is just getting ugly.
The Hawks aren’t a bad team. They have the size and athleticism of a top-10 team, but this is the difference between a focused TEAM and a collection of shiny parts that don’t really work together all that well. These two teams don’t belong on the same court, and it has nothing to do with talent, because on paper, the Hawks roster (LeBron aside) is equally as good as the Cavs are, if not better. But they’re hurt and dumber than a bag of dicks, leading to double digit blowouts that feature scintillating action like Darnell Jackson and Terrence Kinsey facing off against Acie Law and Solomon Jones.
Anyways…I’ll quit this homerific rant and spare you all the bullshit.
In my life I have never been witness (no pun intended) to such a great display of team execution and chemistry. Sure, I saw the mid-90’s Indians, which, to this day, I still look back on as some of the fondest memories of my adolescence, can recall every last detail of the 2002 National Champion Ohio State team, and can still recite the statistics for every starter on the late 80’s/early 90’s Cavs teams that featured NASCAR Daugherty, Mark Price, Larry Nance and Hot Rod Williams, but this Cavs team is a new beast entirely.
I don’t need to tell you Cleveland’s sports history or the fact that, when I was between two years old and six, most of these teams made me cry like the child I was. The reason I’m so enraptured with this Cavs team is not because of my long history of seeing LeBron play from back when I was a sophomore in high school, or because I’m smitten with the fact that this team is a legitimate title contender, no…
It’s because, for the first time in my sports life, I’m seeing a real, live TEAM playing a sport at it’s most competent. The crisp execution, the commraderie, the unselfishness…it’s just awesome. So excuse me for seeing everything these days in wine and gold colored glasses, because this NBA season has been one big salve to the wound that was the Drive, the Fumble, Jose Mesa, Tom fucking Glavine and the Browns moving. Not to sound like a self-aggrandizing dickhead, but we fucking deserve this run.
Now, whether it ends in a title or not (and please spare the clichés of “it’s Cleveland…they’ll blow it”) is yet to be seen. Just let us enjoy the ride.
Lebron is awesome. Hes like a gift from God to the city of Cleveland. Keeping hope alive.
it’s Cleveland..they’ll blow it

don’t get cocky there, nug-lover…
spence, I live in Kansas. People here don’t believe in science. And you can’t tell me that the Celtics or Magic could play against any of the remaining teams in the Bestern. Nuggets are f’ing rolling.
/waiting for wheels to fall off.
i’ll give you that in a landslide.
boston, orlando or the hawks would all lose in 4 or 5 to the lakers, mavs, or nugs. id give them a shot to take houston to 6 tho.

You’re probably right there. Rockets have zero consistency.
Spencer heres that sandwich I made.

Why did you ruin that masterpiece with a fucking tomato? It is bigger than the rest of the meat and cheese. FAIL
tampa, is that a tomato or a red pepper?
by the way, taking pictures of sandwiches rules.
I think he was trying to not die right after eating it. This way he can hang on for a few more days to get his affairs in order.
Now I’m hungry. I think later today I’ll go get my hair cut and stop by this little shop that sells fried catfish sandwiches.
yea…that tomato is fucking YOOOGE.
but it looks tasty besides that.
damn, now that sounds fucking delicious.
What are you poor or something?
It’s good stuff ark. They also have shrimp, oyster, crawfish and alligator. Alligator was the only other one I’ve tried, but the catfish is tough to beat.
I’m getting free pappadeaux today, bitches. Enjoy your suckass lunches.
Hef, you left out the hair cut part. That’ll run me at least $11. Haven’t you ever read TBL. You’ve got to stash your money (and ammunition) nowadays.
That’s a good point. I cut my own hair using a salad bowl and some hedge trimmers.
Why don’t you fags like Tomatoes?
Tampa is right, you guys are a bunch of gay anti-tomato-ites.
