Cavs in the Playoffs
The Cavaliers are now tied for the seventh seed. For basketball fans, this team has been fun to watch - a true case of the bad news bears who got their act together. After starting the season 6-19, they have climbed back into the weak hunt in the East by taking it to some the of the best teams in the NBA, beating the Spurs and Pistons, and falling a missed last second shot short of showing up the Lakers. Obviously Lebron is solid, but Carlos Boozer is getting a double-double almost every night, and Z, their huge 7-3 center is dropping twenty points on unwary opponents on a regular basis. The one thing holding the Cavs back had been lack of experience/lack of defense/lack of chemistry, but those problems have been fading rapidly after the Ricky Davis-Eric Williams/Tony Batie trade and the Darius Miles-McInnis trade. I said back in January that the Cavs were heading to the playoffs, but here is my new position - the Cavs are going to the playoffs and they are going to either the second round, or the Eastern Conference Finals. You heard it hear first.
