now what?

It has been a long while since I last posted.  New computer set-up; personal activities; and that damn thing called work!  But I have found a little time during a lunch break to dive back in and try to get caught up with a cornucopia of items to back into the swing of things.  So here I go.

Now that the NBA season is about to begin, do you feel like, that the past seven years really gave me (or us) nothing?  Or, is it all about the process and how it all went down, not to S. Beach, but all ended?  Funny, I miss the player not at all. I do miss the thought that we had the players that could have, and should have brought a championship to C'Town before the clown-car traveled to the state of 4-o'clock meal deals.  How can a group of players that had the best record in the NBA 2 straight yrs., not accomplish anything?  The CLUE is in the sentence, and I'll wait to see if you find it. Tick-tock; tick-tock; tick-tock...give up?  Can't find it?  Well of course you can't find it, because it is a word that is missing, not really the player.  The word missing is spelled T-E-A-M!  That's correct I never mentioned the word "team" because there wasn't a team.  Oh sure by all standards the CAVS were an NBA team, but in name only.  It was a collection of tremendous individual players who were brought together to form a team, that did not play as a team.  Sure they had great pre-game routines; had great games during the season; but when the time came to step it up, nothing! 

Okay, you say that the season meant something...oh really?  Meant what? seeding...home court...TV time?  So, what did it get me (0r us)?  Two so-so series, one that should not have been as close as it was.  Then when all the season issues should have meant something....FLOP FLOP FLOP!!! The elbow; the shutting out the coach; the personal issues off the court..anything but high level, top of the grade, basketball.  All I can see in a season recap, is a player looking to something; someone; someplace but not at the Q.  THE player of the year in '08 and '09 giving me that deer in the headlights look against the TEAM from Beantown!!  TEAM! That word!

What I found out for absolute is that a TEAM can win it all, whereas a collection of players may not win anything.  Will this thought hold up in NBA '10?  Don't know and really don't give a damn or care!  Don't care? Yep, you read it right.  Cause I have this strange feeling that this CAVS TEAM will play the game as a TEAM and I'm good with that, Win Lose or Draw!  (oops no draws in NBA, but you get my point.)

Now the Browns....To be continued!!!
