Although that is an amazing achievement and I'm so pumped to be rooting for the MVP 2 years straight, the goal is to win a championship. Any amount of MVP awards aren't going to satisfy the city of Cleveland. Only the championship has that kind of effect. But regardless, AWESOME.
Now it's time for the Cavaliers and LBJ-MVP2 to take care of the Boston Celtics en route to Orlando. Game 1 is tomorrow night at 8pm on TNT. I cannot wait to get back at this dirty team. I wanna see Shaq dunk clean over Kendrick Perkins while Kevin Garnett tries to sneak in an elbow on Anderson Varejao, resulting in his indefinite suspension from the NBA :)
1st Round Outside of Cleveland
The last 3 remaining 1st round matchups are all on tonight, each with a team up 3-2 looking for a close out win.
Wow is all I have to say about the Milwaukee Bucks stealing game 5 in Atlanta against the Hawks. I'm blown away by how they've even won just 1 game against Atlanta, considering how much fire power the Hawks have. I said earlier in this blog that the Bucks were going to lose without question since they lost Andrew Bogut to injury, but now I'm not so sure. Atlanta just doesn't seem hungry enough. Milwaukee will try to close out the series tonight against Atlanta at home, 7pm on ESPN. Atlanta definitely has their work cut out for them. FEAR THE DEER
Next at 9:30pm on ESPN, the LA Lakers will look to finish the series against the OKC Thunder, but they're going to have to do it despite the incredibly energized OKC home crowd. And I'm sure you can only imagine how much more pumped they will all be tonight with they're beloved Thunder facing elimination. After LA dominated the Thunder 111-87 at home, it's going to take a lot of poise and confidence for the Thunder to get back on track tonight, but I personally feel they have a shot at home. We'll see what the Lakers are really made of tonight...
And finally on ESPN at 10pm, the Utah Jazz will look to upset the Denver Nuggets at home. I had picked Denver to advance past Utah initially, but now with their backs against the wall, I really don't think the Nuggets have enough left in them to win 2 straight without team play and coach George Karl. Deron Williams has been playing on another level this postseason so far and Carlos Boozer has been right there with him. I'm going to say that the Utah Jazz will just prove to be too much for Denver tonight, especially playing at the notorious Energy Solutions Arena.
Last night both the Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks lost in their matchups, the latter of the two being very surprising in my opinion. I would put Dallas owner Mark Cuban on suicide watch just to be safe. Watch the TNT crew as they send-off Portland and Dallas in Gone Fishin'
