The road to the finals likely to go through Cleveland
Written by michaelhammons on March 23, 2009 – 9:45 pm -4 games up, 13 to go. Also, 1.5 games up on the Lakers for the best record in the NBA.
This may be the greatest Cleveland sports team of all time. LeBron James, without a doubt, has passed Kobe Bryant as being the best player in the NBA, and deserves his 1st MVP trophy, but I would trade that opportunity for a championship for the city of Cleveland.
The only concern–and it’s a legitimate one, is that Cleveland has struggled this year vs. elite competition. They were swept by the Lakers in the two showdowns this year, and still cannot figure how to win in Boston. Here’s a history lesson, though. When the Cavs beat the Pistons in 2007 to reach their first ever finals, they couldn’t BUY a win in Detroit that season, and struggled against them as a whole. Insert in a 2-0 deficit, and many people were saying that the Detroit had Cleveland’s number. Well, we all see what happened in the end.
