CLEVELAND ROCKS

It's not often I pass up a potential sporting event. Sometimes though its just not meant to be. Two nights ago I almost went to the Cavs / Heat game. As everyone knows though, almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. While not the hype I imagine surrounded the firs meeting back in November, had I gone I'm sure it would have been one of the best sports atmospheres I have ever been to. Kudos to the Cavs for not embarrassing both themselves and their fans again, hanging tough after blowing a huge lead, and pulling out an emotional win. Easily the biggest win of the season, which isn't even arguable since they only have 15. The only unfortunate part was that this is March, not November. No chance the season plays out drastically different for a team in shambles, but I also don't think they lose 26 in a row or own the worst record outright in the league. More importantly, the team that took the court Tuesday wasn't the team that Lebron dumped like an angry high school girl last May. I think the Cavs really needed the win in november while last years core was still in tact to really make a statement. Either way the residents of the Mistake by the Lake got theirs. Hopefully next year they can build off of wins like Tuesday. They can only go up from this year.
