Cleveland Cavaliers

While Cleveland is more than 15 games out of the Central Division, in all fairness, #1 belongs to the Detroit Pistons. The Cavaliers are back in the playoff hunt for the first time in 8 years, and this is hugely in part to the play of one of the most entertaining young players the league has seen since Kobe Bryant. I am speaking of Lebron James.
Lebron, in his 2nd year in the NBA, is averaging almost 32 points per game, and has taken the Cavaliers on his back. He is currently ranked the #1 player in the NBA, and at 21 years young, he has a long and prosperous career ahead of him. Will he bring the Cavaliers back to the promised land of the NBA elite?

The answer to that is of course he will! Lebron is the new Michael Jordan for todays NBA. He has a good head on his shoulders and isn't cooky and arrogant like some other young stars in the NBA are. I think it is only a matter of time and management before the Cav's turn Lebron into the king of their new dynasty. You can't expect a player of that caliber to not make a huge impact. Remember that it took Jordan a few years to bring the Bulls up to par, the same will be true for James.

Well seems like King James got his first taste of what a playoff series can be like in the NBA.

I watched this game and LeBron made some really big mistakes, compounded with early foul trouble. However, I think he has a good head on his shoulders and will quickly rebound from this mental blunder. The series is now 1-1 heading back to Washington.

Some poor free throw shooting by Washington and a clutch shot in Overtime by Damon Jones has sent the Cleveland Cavaliers into the second round of the NBA playoffs, and a date with Detroit. The amazing thing about Jones' shot was that he had been on the bench the whole game up till that point. I felt bad for the Wizards, but they gave the Cavs a run for their money. Now Cleveland gets a chance to prove they are for real as they face the mighty Pistons.

I really like the Cavs right now, mostly because of Lebron, but I will be interested to see how they fair against the Pistons. This is the big time now and mistakes and slow downs against Washington won't fly against and experienced team like the Pistons. They know what this is about and what it takes to win it all, I think they take the Cavs to school in the next round.

Interestingly enough, LeBron James was 2nd in voting for regular season MVP honors. I was actually shocked that he received more votes than Dirk Nowitzki, who was my pick for MVP. Not to take anything away from James and the season he has had, but this was really his first year shouldering a team to the playoffs. Dirk and Nash have been doing this for years now. Oh, and by the way, Cleveland got annihilated in game 1 of their series with Detroit.
