Not a huge basketball fan, but ... James - 48 points

[johnnie]

It's not that I hate basketball, I just don't follow it, but it was a pretty good game it seems and James scored 48 points. Cleveland actually has a good team this year.

1. My dear johnnie.......

Basketball is a game that I at least can get behind now and then!

I did watch the college finals and screamed myself hoarse when the Buckeyes were playing!

Which team did you see?

Obviously a pro team........

:hi:

2. Cleveland Cavaliers

It was double overtime and Labron James scored 48 points for the game and 28 of their last 30 points. The kid is phenomenal, he is only 22.

I'm not much of a basketball fan either, but I will watch here and there. We are pretty close to a championship and being a resident of Cleveland for 42 years, we don't get too many of those..lol.


By the way, I loved your vacation photos, glad you had a good time Peggy :hi:

4. He scored 29 of their last 30 points.

I didn't see it, and don't get into basketball anymore, either (no real reason, I just drifted away, from college and the NBA), but I've heard it was impressive. ESPN's football blogger even mentioned it, starting off with a comment kind of like yours. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/hashmarks/0-1-10/Tell-me-you-watched-that-game-last-night.html

5. I don't like basketball because of all the stoppage

especially in the last few minutes

6. you know I feel about this since I grew up in Clevo

I'm 44, been a beyond fanatical Cleveland Sports Fan since I was 7, and I could go on for hours about the endless, ENDLESS Cleveland Sports Heartbreak I've witnessed over the years (The Drive, The Shot, Red Right 88, Game 7 of the 97 WS, and many, many more) that has had me thinking about flying back into town so I could jump off the top of the Terminal Tower.

But as I watched LeBron become absolutely Superhuman last night (at work, of course), I kept thinking to myselfm, "I'm finally going to see a Championship in Cleveland before I drop dead; w/ LeBron, it's just a matter of time".

That was the greatest game I've ever seen, and LeBron's performance was the greatest I've ever seen. I'm still in awe.

Wow.

7. I was kind of hoping to see triple overtime.

8. LeBron >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kobe

That is a fact, I can pretty much prove it on an Etch-A-Sketch.
