The Revival

When it comes to crunch time, I can't just sit back and not write about what's going on. That said, here's my analysis of things of late.

The Tribe is really good...seriously. Sabathia is enormous, and he's good at pitching, look for him as an AL Cy Young candidate with the seemingly perennial winner, Johan Santana.
Steve Nash is in my top 3 favorite players with Bron and Anderson Varejao. Except that, between you and me, Nash took a dive from Horry. Look at the size comparison between Nash and Horry; could Robert Horry ever knock Steve Nash down? I didn't think so. Exciting to see the Suns almost pull it out last night without those two guys; you know, Amare the overrated center who didn't deserve to be a first-team NBAer, and Boris the French guy with a decidedly Russian name (don't you remember Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle?).
As for the Cavaliers...their game 5 offensive set reminded me of a fish out of water except for the fact that dying fish flop around and move at least a little bit whereas the Cavs just stood around all night not doing much. The Cavs torched the Nets to the tune of a blistering hot 33% shooting night with only one player shooting over 50%, and that was Z going 6-8. Meanwhile, the Nets managed to go 1-15 from the field in the 4th quarter and we went ahead and decided not to make shots and come back. Infuriating, to say the least. The swagger needs to return a bit for game 6, but I'm still confident that we can take 1 of games 5, 6, and 7, and one's all you need. Meanwhile, best wishes to Lebron's baby's momma who is 8 months pregnant and needed to be hospitalized during game 5 - reportedly side-trackign Bron from the business at hand.
But I'm sick of talking about that disaster last night.
And my laptop battery is dying, so I can't really type a whole lot more.
We're pushing 3 weeks since the NFL draft and not a single Cleveland Browns player has suffered a potentially career-ending injury - let alone a season-ending one. So far, so good.
Nye.o.lator. out.
