Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

Will be an exciting night. Feels like an Opening Day for the Tribe circa 1995-98 on steroids. Been a longtime since there was this kind of excitement in Cleveland.

I just hope fans take a realistic approach (LOL) to this season and realize that a championship is far from a guarantee. It even took the cHeat 2 years to win one. Maybe they can pull a Boston and do it in year one, but I think there's better teams in the NBA than there was then, so it'll be a tall order. I also wouldn't be surprised to see some stumbles over the first few weeks as these guys learn to play together.

Anyway, it's good to have a competitive team to follow in the WWF...err...NBA again.

And I'm still in the "fuck LeBron James" camp. That's not to say I'm not glad he "came home" *gag*. Anything that improves my chances of seeing a Cleveland championship in my lifetime is something I'm for. However, I will never again be a "LeBron James fan." There's a lot of shit that went down that simply "coming home" will never erase from my memory...quitting against Boston...essentially holding the franchise hostage for years preventing them from attracting elite FA's...colluding with his butt buddies to assemble in Miami years later while at the Olympics. This is a nice story, but anybody that buys it as LeBron wanting to come home to right his wrongs is naïve, in my IMO. It's a marketing homerun and a major chance to cement the legacy he wants. If the situation in Miami was better, he'd still be there.

Okay, I'm done being a stick in the mud. Go Cavs.

Downtown is just insane... since I work in downtown, at lunch I walked over to the Q and the casino... (well, mainly the casino) But it is a freaking MADHOUSE! The buzz here downtown is crazy.

I so wish I could have stayed downtown tonight... freaking city deciding that trick or treat is tonight so I have to hit home and take the kids out (and get back home before 8)
