Good Luck

As sad as it is for me, I will not be able to attend the next few games in DC as I will be out of town.  Paullev7 will be there and will probably be the guy who gets thrown out of the arena if Jamison attempts another 'hard foul' on our King. 

Mike Brown knows we need to make adjustments and hopefully we will come out strong tonight.  We only lost by a few points last game so we can do this.  We have the talent and most importantly the heart..

Go Cavs!

Obsessed


ok I doubt I am the only one here who is crazy obsessed with the new LeBron
Witness commercial.  I mean it paints the picture of present day Northeast Ohio, shows some of the city's pride (yes, I am talking about a sandwich), and shows how much we believe in this kid from Akron.  Folks..he is our future.  I love C.C. and all, but come on.  He is it..he is the Chosen One and we are all Witnesses.

So about this insanely pimp commercial..let's break this bad boy down frame by frame cause I am sure most people in the world have no freakin idea what any of that stuff meant.  I mean it's seriously an inside commercial.  Without further a due I will do my best to identify each frame..


1st Frame - drumroll begins as we roll down some of the rougher streets of downtown Akron.  I have actually visited the exact location of LeBron's birth and it is a nasty, awful area.  Notice it's being shot from a car..now I am not sure, but by the looks of the windshield wiper it seems to be shot from LeBron's old Hummer from his St. V days.

2nd Frame - the smoke stacks.  ahh..anyone from Northeast Ohio is very familiar with these bad boys.  These look to be around the downtown Akron area near the Goodyear factory.  (ok I completely made that up) 

3rd Frame - oh yea baby..77N.  the road from Akron to downtown CLE.  LeBron lives in Akron and takes this road up to the Q for every single game. 
Pride baby..  Also note the first few scenes were in Akron and now we have moved towards CLE. 

4th Frame - looks to be a nasty, run down YMCA as well as convenient stores in CLE

5th Frame - a quick glimpse looking up into the Columbus Road bridge with a view of downtown CLE

6th Frame - a shot of some basketball courts.  Now it would seem this would be in CLE given how we moved from the AK to CLE, but LeBron was well known in many of the Akron bball courts in which my buddies and I also played on.  Could be Croghan Park, could be St. V, could be anything. But we all know LeBron has helped out Akron by building more bball courts so I am glad this shot got in there. 

7th Frame - ahh..home.  The Q.  Good work Danny G. 

8th Frame - Bron jogging down the court in the wine jersey

9th Frame - Sportsman's Restaurant which is right near the Justice Center downtown. There's a counter area if you're eating alone and tables and a back dining area if you're there with friends or coworkers. Has a pimp vintage Sportsmans sign out front.

10th Frame - the famous
quadruple double corned beef sandwich from Sportsman's.  The price is only $9.23 as the Playoff special.  Notice Go Cavs written in the bottom right

11th Frame - LeBron James bobblehead in blue jersey.  Most likely the giveaway from the Q, but could be from Giant Eagle.

12th Frame - bunch of kids coloring at a school.  notice Bron on the tube in the background

13th Frame - one of the fantastic drawings titled 'Slam Dunk' of LeKing

14th Frame - slam dunk in the blue jersey vs the Lakers

15th Frame - girl getting #23 painted on her cheek most likely in Tower City Mall which connects to the Q. Notice the kid behind her with Cavs written on the forehead..he is loving life.

16th Frame - Bron joggin again..in the white jersey  (red, blue, white..good work Nike)

17th Frame - after the shady white van passes, there is a shot of a guy on a chopper next to one of those cheap signs which beautifully reads 'We are all Witnesses.'  This is followed by another van passing down Carnegie Ave in downtown CLE.

18th Frame - close up of the cheap sign with pimp message

19th Frame - not sure of the building (help anyone?) but draped out of one of the windows is a bedsheet or cloth which reads 'I am a Witness'  Just clarifying things here..these are not fabricated scenes by Nike..this is all real.  There are many many signs in CLE supporting our King.  Pride..

20th Frame - close up of the pride on a bedsheet

21st Frame - LeBron side-fives someone from his knees vs the Pistons (in a blue jersey)

22nd Frame - the beginnings of a beautiful shirt (and marketing campaign).  The Witness T is being screened in wine and gold.  ooh..yea

23rd Frame - the phrase of the hour on possibly a sign at the airport or near the arena. 

24th Frame - Witness t-shirt complete and getting ready to be shipped to the Q for game 1 of the Playoffs

25th Frame - Man on a bball court holding a ball with the tshirt on.  LeAwesome

26th Frame - hard ass in the auto body shop also sportin the tee

27th Frame
- more #23's being painted on little kids faces

28thFrame - insane dunk over the Lakers in the blue jersey...bron screams as this one goes down

29th Frame - another driving dunk over half the Bulls squad at the Q in a white jersey

30th Frame - full extension leg kick dunk vs the Spurs in a white jersey

31st Frame - the domination scream vs the Heat..man is this guy awesome

32nd Frame - the music stops abruptly as the 10 story, 212 foot wide billboard of LeBron appears.  This is on the Landmark building in downtown CLE.  Also note there is a slight screech of a car/train at the very end. 


As the commercial builds & builds and the goose bumps set in, all of a sudden the music just stops. You are left to stare into the greatness of this massive billboard and realize how much this city & team relies on the AK Assassin.  I don't care where you are from, this is an amazing commercial and congrats Nike.  You know what you have in LeBron and you are playing it perfectly.

Long live LeKing...

Further Jocking..

..of Brian Windhorst.  Our man on the inside is right now hosting an online chat (on espin) and check this out..gold baby:

Travis (Indiana State): What does LeBron do in the off-season as far as workouts go? 

Brian Windhorst: (4:23 PM ET ) He actually bikes around Akron a lot. There are some hills in the area where he lives and he and his friends ride around early in the morning. He also holds these super-secret pickup games at various gyms in the middle of the night. Several NBA players fly in and take part like Nene and J.R. Smith. I've heard the call goes out to players and just gives 12 hours notice. (editors note: LeAmazing)

plus...

BJ Carmel NY: Going along with Nicks question, Wouldnt Lebron see his contracts skyrocket in a big market like NY or LA. Not that he needs the money of course. 

Brian Windhorst: (4:20 PM ET ) BJ, LeBron is already the highest-earning endorser in the NBA while in Cleveland. The NBA has max salary limits, which is why Tim Duncan is still in San Antonio. LeBron does have some kickers in his contracts that would pay him more to be in NY, LA or Chicago, but they are small and his Nike contract is fully guaranteed.

 

UPDATE:   this just in - ESPiN really really likes Brian Windhorst


I Believe

For all of us from NE OH..we have always believed.  We knew this kid was special.  I remember watching the NBA Lottery on TV as time seemed to slow waayy down as that ping pong ball bounced around as the #2 pick was about to be announced.  From that point..it was clear the future of CLE sports would change.  One ping-pong ball away from continuing the constant pain of an Ohio Sports fan.  But just like that stupid commerical with Jordan missing the shot on Ehlo, it didn't happen.  The ball landed in our court and we have the King. 

And 3 years later, he is still our King and still shocking his fan base.  We all know he was going to do it as we put so much pressure on him, but he has never let us down.  Never failed..never cracked. The game saturday as everyone by now has noted..was truly special.  It was amazing.  I watched a re-run of the Cavs vs Bulls from 89 the other day and really analyzed Jordan.  While way skinnier at that stage in his career, he was awesome...I mean dominate.  But I just think with LeBron's size, vision, and evenly distributed talent..I mean you know what I am getting at.  Only time will tell. 

But what happened saturday was just another early chapter in the book of King James (hey..see that a reference to religious jersey).  And to top it all off, Nike did a great job promoting the shirts, billboard, and commerical.  Tingles baby..

And one final note..our man on the inside Brian Windhorst is becoming very famous for basically being the authoritative voice on the King from a hometown perspective.  He is all over ESPiN now and thx for this amazing article on all of LeBron's debuts. Brian is showing the rest of the world how awesome this kid has always been while exposing us all to Northeast Ohio athletics and community.

I am a witness...

It hurts..

..being this smooth.  while I wasn't able to watch or lelive blog the game last night, I heard it was a huge win and big confidence booster for our expensive pickup in L Hughes.  And by the way, I don't believe I will be live bloggin any games, anytime soon..stressful stuff.  Anyways..if someone went to the game or wants to write a review please let me know.  I am hoping for a big win on Sunday as we need to defeat the Wiz in prep for our potential playoff matchup.  And we also need to see the chosen one out of the yellow vest and into the wine and gold. Go Cavs.

 listen donyell - if you don't got 2 karat earings, a yellow vest, and a pad in Akron..you ain't nothin..

Live LeBlogging - CLE Sports


ok folks..tonight I believe I am about to go where no blogger has gone before.  I am aware that some people will not be able to watch the Cavs and Indians game tonight so I am going to attempt to help them out by livebloggin both games at once.  I know people liveblog one sport, but two different sports..wow that means I am not only hardcore, but really nerdy. 

Anyways..I have many TV's so both games will be on at once.  First pitch of the Tribe game is at 7:05 and the Cavs tipoff is at 8:00 on ESPiN.   See you later..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And away we go..

7:05 - First pitch is popped out by Ichiro.  Bag of Fritos opened and beer cracked. 

7:07 - Ok then..after a few quick hits, Seattle puts on one the board.  This is the first time the Tribe has trailed since April 5. 

7:08 - Byrd luckily catches a line drive from Beltre and the announcers make very cheesy comments how it almost took his head off..yadda, yadda.  On to bottom of the first.

7:09 - I just pulled out a brown frito.  While curious I decide to try it only to discover it's completely burnt and tastes terrible. 

7:16 - Sizemore battles a lot of pitches but flies out.  Michaels also takes a lot of pitches and walks.

7:20 - Jhonny hits for the 8th consecutive game.  Runners now on 1nd and 2nd.  Also a nice flashback to his HR last night.  Just opened up a piece of mail for a free boat. 
Pronk is up.  Also, I decided to pass on the boat. 

7:23 - oh my goodness.  Michaels get's caught between 2nd and 3rd and thrown out.  so obviously..Jhonny decides to try and get to second so he is trapped and thrown out.  Worst double play ever.  Pronk is left with a full count at the plate.  Please note this play was prefaced by a homoerotic comment by Mike Hegan about Mike Hargrove's weight loss. 

7:29 - after 2 routine outs, Jeremy Reed gets a triple off the wall.  NBA Pregame just came on and they are alreaydtalking about Bron for MVP.  Steven A Smith is such an idiot. 

7:32 - I just spilled my beer on my laptop.  Man.. This live blogging thing is harder than I thought. 

7:38 - laptop is now dry.  whew..  so recap - pronk walked.  Victor hits into fielders choice (hafner out at 2nd) and Ben Broussard singles up the middle.  2 men now on.  Belliard gets beaned and bases are loaded.  Victor is thrown out at home after fielders choice by Boone. 

7:40 - wild pitch!!  Broussard comes around to score.  score is 1-1

7:42 - Blake gets a single up the middle and scores Belliard & Boone.  3-1 Tribe!  A doc on Bron is comin on soon.

7:47 - after grady walks, michaels grounds into a fielder's choice.  Bron highlights from this season are on..he is nuts.

7:50 - oh man.  they are showing Bron eating the Chicken Finger platter from the concession stand as his pre-game meal.  Yes, the same meal you and I eat and it's 15 mins before gametime.  LeAwesome.  Steven A Smith says he is now not mature enough to win the MVP.  I hate ESPiN. 

7:52 - Ichiro and Javy Lopez walk.  Raul Ibanez singles up the middle and scores Ichiro.  3-2 Tribe.  Steven A Douchebag just makes fun of Sasha. 

7:58 - Byrd gets a K.  then follows it up with another K.  Oh yea..ESPiN anchors are hyping up this game like crazy.  

8:03 - Holy crap.  After Everett walks, Kenji smacks one deep and drives in 3.  Son of a.  it's now 5-3 Seattle.  on a good note, Z is lookin good with a full beard.  Steven A now says it will be a good game and Greg Anthony holds him to it.  I hate the world. 

8:06 - ok inning over after a scarily deep fly ball.  thank goodness.  ok Cavs tipoff.  here we go..

8:08 - I know I am the only one, but I do like Bill Walton.  He is jockin the Cavs too.  Detroit gets a bucket followed by misses from Snow, Ben Wallace, and Z.  2-0 Pistons. 

8:10 - Pronk destroys a ball but its foul. Rip Hamilton gets the worst assist of all time.  Bron gets striped and Pistons score.  6-0 Pistons..doh.  Pronk flies out and Drew Gooden hits a shot.  Ok now this is gettin nuts. 

8:11 - Bron makes a sick drive to the hoop for 2.  Here comes the AK Assassin love by the announcers.  Sheed is embaressing Gooden.  Victor flies out to end the inning. 

8:12
- Flip with a missed shot and Z with the tip in.  OH My goodness.  Breakaway from Bron..insane dunk.  leblog screams.

8:13 - Z gets a tip in to fall after 3 tries from Goooden and himself.  Flip Murray loses the ball on the next possession.  Repeat of Bron dunk is insane.  Walton says the guys in Berkley at PIxar couldnt create a more beautiful dunk. oh geez..now he is talkin about his visit to Pixar studios with Mickey Hart (of the Dead).  Tirico quickly shut him up and laughs about it.  Gooden scores.  Ichiro up..and I am going nuts. 

8:16 - Ichiro with a solid hit. man is he good.  Z hits 2 free throw.  Cavs up 14-12. Flip misses a smooth move to the rim.  Ben Wallace scores on the other end.  Ichiro steals. Billips wants Bron to go left so he does and passes it. Missed shot by Gooden. 

8:18 - the game is very fast paced.  Walton actually just made a comment about the flow.  Raul Ibanez rips a ball down the line for a triple.  Ichiro scores and it's 6-3.  Byrd is done. 

8:21 - Bron misses a very long three.  Walton is like a little kid.  Indians are out of the inning as Graves is in to pitch. 

8:24 - Walton basically says Snow is worthless.  Bron makes a strong move to the hoop and gets fouled.  Indians are coming up to bat.  Grabbing food really quick. 

8:26 - technical difficulties during the Indians broadcast.  Bron makes both free throws.  After a Detroit miss, Bron makes an insane drive through half the team. 3 poitn play.  Walton just said he made Detroit look like a CYO team.  19-17 Cavs

8:29 - Hughes makes a shot and Rock City answers.  Bron drives agin but no good.  we arent getting offensive rebounds.  Pistons score again.  23-19 Pistons. damn and Bron just threw it away.

8:32 - Cavs all of a sudden playing poorly and Detroit scores again for a 11-0 run.  Damn it.  And Indians game is still having technical difficulties.  Damn package

8:34 - so i just checked ESPiN for updates.  Broussard and Belliard singled. Blake gets another single and we bring one home.  6-4 Seattle.

8:36 - Sizemore singled and scores Belliard.  6-5 baby!.  Another replay of Bron's dunk.  So nuts.  Bron avoids a backcourt violation and drives left (after Chauncy keeps temptin him) and scores. 

8:38 - Hughes shot scares me..i hate those line drives.  After Michaels walks, Jhonny strikes out to end the inning.  And Donyell just nailed a 3.  Tribe down 1 and Cavs down 8. 

8:40 - Donyell needs to shoot something besides a 3 pointer.  Timeout Cavs and inning change for tribe. break time..

8:42 - Top of the 5th for Seattle as Graves is still pitching. Anderson just gets hammered and will go to the line.  And Walton is talking about life and how to balance it all.  Beltre singled.

8:45 - Pistons make the lead 10 points.  Damon misses a three.  Flip and Larry blow short shots.  And there are 0 zero points from our back-court.  that's not good. 

8:48 - Beltre stole second and Kenji walked. I am exposed to this awful VW commercial for the 3rd time where kids get in a real crash..it's not cool.

8:50 - Indians get out of the inning.  LeBron is still sitting and the Cavs are sucking.  Gil Meche is pulled in bottom of the 5th.

8:51 - woh.  Anderson goes after Rasheed.  Hmm..yea this was definetely a harsh fould by the Brazilian.  No foul but Cavs are down 14.  Holy crap..Anderson ejected.  Son of a bitch. Rasheed has this awful smirk.  Man i hate Detroit and the state of Michigan. 

8:53
- Cavs are playing awful and I am debating on how much longer I shoudl do this.  Pronk grounds out.  Victor flies out and Broussard strikes out looking.

8:58 - thx to Walton I just found out Rasheed has 244 technicals in the past decade.  Also, Since LeBron sat, the Cavs have NO points. 4 mins..no points.  uhh..

9:01 - did i just witness a point by the Cavs.  and by who, but Bron.  This game is awful, but the Tribe are still in it.  Tribe down 6-5.  ok this Cavs game is sad.  Tribe game going to main TV as I hear "Who Let the Dogs Out" to take me away. 

9:03 - ok now I am pissed. After a few singles andintential walk to Ibanez, former Indian Richie Sexson justhit a Grand Salami.  Seattle is up 10-5.  Cavs are down 20.  Awful..

9:06 - Cavs almost down 30.  Bron isnt playing too hot.  Indians broadcast is going in and out.  Hmm..well at least it's a wed night. 

9:09 - Cavs cut it to 25 and Z just missed an easy shot.  Indians go down 1-2-3.  Wow..well it's halftime in Detroit with the Pistons up 27.  I am not listening to ESPiN at the half.  Ok i am grabbin more food.

9:15 - Davis is now pitchin for the Tribe in the 7th.  He strikes out Kenji with a mean slider.  Reed grounds out and two outs for the Tribe. 

9:17 - Benecourt grounds out and inning over.  7th inning stretch.  Blogging one sport is much easier.

9:20 - Sizemore gounds out and I just noticed an OSU sweatshirt in the audience.  Something fishy is going on with the ball..stay tuned.

9:23 - Ichiro is good.  Makes a great running catch on a ball hit by Michaels.  Jhonny slams a hit to LF.  another multi-hit game.  Pront steps to the plate. Come on guys..

9:25 - HELL YES!  Pronk slams one deep and high to right.  Whew..good news.  Go Tribe!  10-7 now. 

9:27 - Still talkin about Hafner..he is damn good.  6 homers in the past 6 games.  3rd quarter about to begin in Rock City.  Victor walks...

9:29 - so the Pistons are on a 40-10 run.  that's pathetic.  Benny B grounds out to end the 7th. 

9:33 - Sheed is so cocky.  I hate the Pistons and just remembered how much I used to hate Laimbeer and company.  Bron just threw a sloppy pass to Z who lost it.  this is sad.  Ichiro slams another hit.  Hit to the right this time. 

9:35 - I feel as though the Cavs have really stopped trying.  Our defense is not there.  Oh man..they have switched the game.  Ok I guess the producers agree it's that bad.  Ok then...so Tribe.  Davis just made a kick save. Damn that was smooth.  Ichiro to 3rd with 2 outs. 

9:37 - The game they just switched it too is awful too.  Now we are watching the Wizards/Bucks game.  Wow..and Raul Ibanez just slammed a single down the line to score Ichiro.  11-7 Mariners. 

9:39
- Inning over and Tribe is coming up.  Also, I have no idea what is going on with the Cavs now.  

9:42 - ok the Cavs game is back on.  The Cavs cut it to under 30 so I guess that constitutes coverage.  after a Belliard single, Blake cranked a double deep and scores Belliard.  Woo hoo..down by 3 now. 

9:45 - Hughes just threw up an airball.  uh..ya.  Timeout.  Tribe has Blake on at 2nd and
Sizemore just barely missed a HR down the line.  Passed ball and Blake to third. Crowd is in it now..

9:49 - just got a text from a Pistons fan that ESPiN just called the rest of the Cavs the 'lebronettes.'  fyi..my sound is off of the Cavs game.  Michaels falls do the ground and the 8th inning is over. 

9:51 - oh my goodness.  Bron is on the ground and not getting up.  Akward landing on the left ankle. So not cool..so not cool. 

9:52 - ok he gets up..thank goodness.  Let him shoot the free throws and take him out.  not worth the risk.  anyways..we are in the 9th for the Tribe game.  Sauerbeck is in to pitch.  Everett grounded out and Sauerback makes the second out on a hit back to the pitcher.

9:54 - LeBron limps to the locker room, but on his own accord.  It doesn't appear to be awful, but we shall see.  Reed flies out and we head to the bottom of the 9th. 

9:56 - Heart of the order is up.  Come on Tribe.

9:58 - Peralta lines out to 3rd.  1 out.  Start of the 4th quarter for the Cavs game with the now LeBron-less Cavs down 24.

10:00 - They are taking an x-ray on Bron and thinking it might be a mild sprain.  Henderson is going to the locker room too..oy.  Pronk just nailed a base hit.  1 man on.  Victor up. 

10:02 - ESPiN just took away coverage of the Cavs game (again).  Victor just nailed a deep ball to right center.  that didnt look like it would go that far, but hey.  Pronk on 3rd and Victor on 1st. 1 out. 

10:04 - whew..Broussard just got real lucky as Sexson couldn't catch the foul ball.  OH MY...strong hit to 2nd base and it's an error...Pronk scores!  Belliard is up with runners on first and second.

10:07 - And Belliard keeps fouling away.  I just saw LeBron limping..crap.  Morefoul balls for Belliard.

10:10 - son of a freakin bitch.  Belliard strikes out.  Boone steps to the plate.  And Larry Hughes is not looking great.  And they just showed Flip pouting. 

10:12 - CRAP..its' over.  Boone popped out.  Tribe loses and Cavs are about to lose and..LeBron is injured.  And they just pulled the Cavs coverage again.  Screw it..I am done for the night before Hughes breaks his finger again. 


Ahh..Ohio Sports..

Ahh..


Gotta love it.  Debates on tradition intertwined with capitalism to whether we want Bron to get MVP honors.  Not bad folks. 

First on OSU..we all know most teams change jerseys often and while OSU is not Oregon *cough* Nike, we do like to change up our style.  I mean OSU fans have always spent on their team partly cause of mad love, but also cause college football is a religion in Cbus. Remember when the NCAA realized this during the 02-1/3/03 season.  90% OSU fans and 10% Hurricrap fans in Tempe.  Not sure the stats but we recorded some off the charts sales that year.  Moving on..

I was listening to the Tribe game last night on the radio and man was that awesome.  Tom Hamilton sounded as excited as I'd ever heard him.  He was jocking Lee (as he should) with every K he racked up.  One note here..I was watching Baseball tonight a few nights ago and they said Lee is the best Left Handed Pitcher in the game.  I mean..he is good don't get me wrong, but best in the game.  Harold Reynolds stepped in to proclaim Randy Johnson as the best, but they all came back to Lee.  Interesting.  Anyways..back to back last night from Jhonny and Pronk.  Insane.  Hamilton was about to piss himself.  LeAwesome.  One woman proclaimed last night on 1100am radio we should give out shirts which say "You've been Pronked" when you enter the Jake.  Not sure if that's funny or sad, but I liked it. 


Finally, LeBron is King.  His second last min shot in recent memory and this time vs. a legitimate team.  Thx to sugknight114 for the insane stats: 

James has made 19 of 29 field-goal attempts this season in the last two minutes of a one-possession game (66 percent). No other player with at least 25 attempts has made more than half of them. Derek Fisher ranks second at 50 percent (13-for-26).

So onto his interesting debate..Do we want Bron to win MVP honors?  Ya know we all do, but I do see his point of not getting it in order to just ignite LeBron that much more for next season...geez can you imagine that. I mean we are all truely in love with the guy now, but I can't imagine..actually it's really scary to think how good this guy from Akron could be.  It's also insane to me that he is from Akron and we basically played on all the same courts as him.  Well..we can share those stories for a later date.

Anyways..should Bron get MVP now or maybe wait till next year..huh.  Either way..Go Cavs vs the Pistons..

Is this mic on?


Am I alive? 

I am indeed so let's recap the past week.  The Indians are awesome, the Cavs are on a roll, LeBron is redonkulous, and OSU got new jerseys. Ok..not bad.

I guess the first order of business is the new jerseys.  There is a lot of crazyness going on over at Buckeye Commentary regarding our decision to look like the team in which Bobby Carpertner tried to kill.  People are upset, but it's hard to stop a atheltic powerhouse from introducing a new revene stream. I guess a ticket hike in price wasn't cuttin it.  Anyways..

The Cavs..are hot.  Hotness.   I mean so hot the LeBron Meter is looking fantabulous in our favor.  The team is playing like a team.  Hughes is back and startin to feel the groove.  And we are feelin it.  LeBron has been out of control (especially vs NJ).  I am sorry Jaz-Z, but our boy put a hurtin on your winning streak and your team.  LeBron got high above the rim...I mean real high.  Personally, I was even more amazed at his drive to the hoop with three guys touching the ball and somehow it drops.  He is nuts and movin up the respect column for the MVP. 

The Tribe is feelin it.  5 in a row.  Pronk es en fuego.  Plus he has a new candy bar out.  No luck on finding a pic of so hopefully someone can come through.  Wickman is the league leader in saves and isn't lookin back.  Coco Crisp is injured..umm.  Jason Johnson looked good in his debut.  Not bad at all.  Plus..I ordered the MLB package so it's going to be a fun season. 

That's it.  It's a good time to be a fan.

True Playa

this just in..LeBron is a pimp.  I repeat the AK Assassin is the man. 

Not sure if the world is aware..oh wait they know that LeBron won Player of the Month for March.  After snagging Player of the Week for the THIRD time in a freakin row, he has now become the only player in the NBA to win Player of the Month twice.

He’s won Player of the Week more than any other player.

(pause for greatness)..


thx to masug24 for the following stats..

In March:

Mar. 5 @ Chicago: Scored 33 points and added 11 rebounds, eight assists and one block in a 92-91 victory over the Bulls.
Mar. 12 @ Miami: Posted 47 points, seven rebounds, four assists and one block in a 98-92 loss to the Heat.
Mar. 22 vs Charlotte: Recorded his career-high, fifth triple-double with 37 points, 12 assists, 11 rebounds and one block in a 120-118 overtime win, defeating the Bobcats.
Mar. 29 vs. Dallas: Tallied 46 points while adding five rebounds, four assists and three steals in a 107-94 win over the Mavericks.

..oh by the way..the game on Saturday was honestly one of the best games I have seen in a long time.  In fact, friends (who have no devotion to our Cavs) said it was the best NBA matchup they've seen in years.  The matchup of Wade vs Bron is dangerous.  I mean I gained a whole lotta respect for Mr. Wade.  I knew he was good, but unaware of that domination.   I will no longer laugh at the comparisons, but I mean come on.  Wade can score, but LeBron can do it all.  And he enjoys a Galley Boy. 


LeAwesome.  LePlayoffs.  LeBron.
