What's Delonte West's favorite cartoon?
Poke-a-mom...
As disappointed as Cavs fans have to be, I'm sure the fans of the Orlando Magic have to feel worse...much...much worse... that team is softer than Charmin toilet paper.
I don't think any of the teams left in the playoffs right now could have hung with the Lakers, Pistons or Celtics from the late 80's. You kids today with your crappy NBA playoffs and your Jonas Brothers CD's....meh...

I'm trying to feel better about the Cavs losing to the Celtics seeing as the Celtics are handling the Magic. But the fact still remains that the Cavs lost their last two home playoff games by a combined 50 points. There is just no getting around how bad that is. At least the Magic have had close games with the Celtics.
Mike Brown had to go. His rotations against the C's were horrible. And his refusal to use the athletic Hickson over Shaq and Z is just indefensible.
If Lebron signs with Chicago, I may never watch an NBA game ever again.

Speaking from personal experience, you will NEVER miss it.

I'll watch enough for the both of us. If LeBron were to go to Chicago, the day he signed would be the happiest non-championship day of my entire fan-life.
I have no faith in the Bulls' front office to pull it off, but we'll see. I've said from jump street that LeBron is leaving Cleveland, but I still think he and Bosh go to NY. I'm amazed the Chicago hype-train has picked up this much momentum. I'm going to TP Chris Broussard's house when it doesn't happen. Maybe slash his tires, too.

Orlando wins again tonight and closes the gap to 3-2. IF the Magic win in Beantown in Game 6, I think they will become the 1st team in history to win a series being down 3-0.
As far as the Cavs, total disappointment.

The team quit on the court, IMO, and LeBron has blame in that. He simply didn't show up like Jordan or Bird would have. THAT was very disturbing. Brown's rotations were mind boggling and drove me crazy. And give credit to the Celtics...they played better over 6 games.
I didn't think he would leave Cleveland but now I think he's outta here...even with Brown getting canned. I think there is a 20% chance he stays.
I'm rooting for the Suns to win it all now.

I think I'd like to see the Magic pull it off...my hatred for the Red Sox and "the Red Sox nation" has me hoping that the city of Boston will have to come to grips with seeing the Bruins and the Celtics blow 3-0 leads....suck on that, Beantown...

I'm right with you on hoping for a historic Boston collapse.
As far as the Cavs, having watched them not care, I'm not really sure if I'm ever going to be able to again.

Artest hits the game winner last night for LA, 103-101. Tough loss for Phoenix. Hope the can bounce back and win Game 6 on their floor.
Go Magic tonight.

I am so glad that Mike Brown has been given the axe. He was one of the worst coaches of a good team history has ever seen. Obviously, a coaching change does not guarantee a championship, or even that LeBron will stay in Cleveland, but I honestly think he will. He's going to get to hand pick a coach and GM. Whether or not they are the same person remains to be seen. I would LOVE to see Larry Brown come in and guide this team to a title.
As for the current games, I really hope that Phoenix can take the last two games from LA and head to the finals to beat someone from the east. Don't care which team they beat as long as they beat them.

I'm pretty sure LeBron hates Larry Brown from their Olympic experience.
As for Mike Brown, he needed to go. It was the right move, but he's got one of the top 15 winning percentages in NBA coaching history after five years. I would still say he's a good coach and he'll be on a lot of short lists this offseason. It will be very difficult for the Cavs to replace him with a better coach unless they get Izzo, K or Phil Jackson. And making the college to NBA jump doesn't usually mean success, so that's even dicey. Also, the Cavs inquiring about Kelvin Sampson doesn't really get my hopes up as the coaching search begins. The Cavs are in one of the worst possible spots they could be in going into this offseason considering how the last five years went.

Well, this could be a good thing or a very bad thing depending on how you look at it. The Cav's organization better figure out what they're gonna do and who they wanna hire out real quick if they want any prayer of keeping LeBron which is looking more grim by the day.
