Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 15 years old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.My Cleveland Cavaliers open up the second round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs tonight in Cleveland against the Boston Celtics. The big news, of course, other than LeBron James becoming the 10th player in history to win the MVP award two times in a row, is James’ elbow, which started giving him trouble at the end of Game 5 against the Bulls (leading to a missed left-handed foul shot). Will “The Elbow” be added to Cleveland’s list of Championship Frustrations?
Of course, Cavs fans are nervous. They remember the disappointments of “Red Right 88,” “The Drive,” “The Fumble,” “The Shot,” and finally, Jose Mesa’s meltdown in the 1997 World Series. So, nobody here wants “The Elbow” to nudge its way into such infamy.
I hope not! I’ve already got lunch at the Cheesecake Factory riding on the Cavs’ winning the second round (I made a bet with a Boston fan colleague at work).
Let’s go Cavs!
Game 2 was ugly, but the view outside was cool.
Game 3: worst home playoff loss in Celtics history. Boo-yah! 😀
sigh Another season ends in heartbreak. 😈
I really hate !@#$% Boston. Between the Red Sox and Celtics I have had to buy more lunches due to lost bets … grrr!
At this point all I can do is hope that Lebron stays in Cleveland and gives us another chance … next year.

“In five seasons, Brown, who had one year left on his contract, went 314-177 and was the league’s coach of the year in 2009. He took Cleveland to the post-season every year and led the Cavaliers to their only finals appearance in 2007.”
And now he’s fired. 🙁
“Will ‘The Elbow’ be added to Cleveland’s list of Championship Frustrations?” No … but now “The Decision” has been. 👿
