And yes, I know they laid down for the Cavs the night before. Still they never had a 19 point lead on the Cavs in that game.

Don’t misunderstand. They owe me nothing. But, I get to be as irrational as I want.

Another quick observation. Both those teams had awesome pickups in the middle of the season.

The Cavs got Jiri Welsh. This is why Paxson was fired.

Alright. I might need to bust out something on the Cavs.

Two things. If the Cavs had not laid down the exact same way the night before against the Cavs I could understand your beef with the Celts. They played both games the same way, so it was pretty fair.

Second, if you are the Celts, you defintiely want the Nets in the playoffs cause you hope they at the very least make Shaq play seven games. You will only see the Nets in the Conference Finals so who cares. The last thing you want is the Heat sweeping the Cavs and Shaq resting while Indiana, Boston, Detroit, and Phila knock each other around for a month on the other side of the draw. That is a strong case as to why the Celts would want to lose that game so the Nets get in.

But I still hate them. I hate them with every bit of my black heart.

Plus, if you were headed to the playoffs, which team would you rather have make it? The revitalized and dangerous NJ Nets, or the Cavs who were really crappy and floundered completely and totally on their way to missing the playoffs?

It would seem to me that nobody would want to face Kidd and Carter, and prefer Robert Traylor and Lucious harris.

Apparently, not the Celtics.

Bringing up the Browns was my attempt, a poor one apparently, to twist the knife further.

But to touch on Vinsanity, the Sports Guy wrote, “Can a guy win Comeback player of the Year for his performance in the same year?”

And honestly, I would be twisting the knife if my team knocked yours out. You have to be thrilled that they got Vince Carter out of Canada. I am hoping that the Cavs can put SOMEONE, ANYONE alongside Lebron next year to help him score some points.

I hope Lucious Harris is gone. I hope Desegana Diop is gone. I hope Dajuan Wagner is gone because he can’t stay healthy. I am tired of wasted roster spots on this team. We have no good role players and it shows in the team’s depth. This is why Lebron can score 35-50 a night and have the team still lose games.

I know its uncool to twist the knife. Sorry. So who the Browns looking at in the draft?

Chris D.

And so goes the rationalizations of a Cleveland Sports Fans.

1) For the 1 in 80,000,000 shot you have of winning, you would have to worry about your coworkers offing you if you pulled a stunt like that

2) For the other 79,999,999 combos you have just wasted double the money of everyone else.

Good thinking!

PS. Craig, why havent we had a bitch-fest on how Lebron and Co. had one of the worst collapses in NBA history for the second straight year, to none other then the amazing NEW JERSEY NETS!
