Im a little late to this thread, but the wife and I just got back from the Cavs vs Celtics game.

I was a season ticket holder before LeBron and for his first 2 years I had the partial-ticket plan (16-20 games) This year I have an 11 ticket plan and I have to say that this was the funnest Cavs game I've watched in a while.
It was nice to see a team play a team sport. No "wrong way Ricky Davis" shooting at the wrong basket to pad his stats and no Lying King standing at the top of the key slowing the game down anymore.

The NBA is back in Cleveland and the one man show is gone. Long live team sports.

Plus its always nice to beat the Celtics. Sorry noiseredux, but for whatever reason Boston is the team we Cleveland fans are instilled to dislike from birth.

hey it is what it is.

I'm not gonna lie though, I didn't see that victory coming. I think the first two Celtics games were huge games for the NBA really. The first one showed that Lebron's new "Big Three" may not be as unstoppable as assumed. The second showed that maybe the Cav's didn't need him after all. It's weird.

Go Bulls!

New coach in Thibodeau, new players in Boozer, Korver, Brewer, and Scalabrine, and the chance to go all the way. Only been to one game because of the high ticket prices, but it was in 1998. Jordan and Pippen raining down on the Magic. Been through hell with them since. :lol:

I really liked the Warriors when they had Baron Davis and Jason Richardson. The 2007 NBA playoffs when they upset Dallas who was a number 1 seed was fucking epic. Biggest upset in NBA history IMO. That series was nuts.

:lol: WE BELEIVE ERA was crazy! even Charles Barkley thought the 2007 Warriors can't beat the soft (it's true) Dallas Mavericks. the Warriors had a lot of toughness with Baron and Stephen. Too bad the run and gun only lasted against Utah (but were left with a memory of Baron Davis dunking over Kirilenko...that was sick!) :lol: . The 2007 Warriors weakness was against a great Front Court lineup. I blame the management for breaking that team up.

Bulls lost to the Celtics tonight :cry: ! Boozer, please come back soon. When was the last time the Bulls actually had an inside presence? Probably when we had Elton Brand. I'm sick of all the fucking jump-shots and having Derrick Rose do everything.
