Cleveland Wins Game Five

The number of people who say “man, I’ve always been a Cavs fan” has probably doubled since LeBron James entered the NBA. One more win and that bandwagon might overflow.

Cleveland went to Detroit and won its third consecutive game to take a 3-2 series lead, and now heads home with a chance to pull off one on the most shocking upsets in recent NBA history.

Four quick points from this game…

• Reggie Miller is a horrendous commentator. I don’t know what it is about Reggie, but I absolutely can’t stand anything the guy does. He is one of the most overrated players that ever lived and he sounds like he’s drunk all the time. Hate him.
  

• Damon Jones is money. He doesn’t really do the whole defense thing and he doesn’t really handle the ball well or follow the plays. He makes $4 million a year in hopes that he might be open once or twice in a game to knock down the three. He does his job well.
  

• An obvious point. Rasheed Wallace is really dumb. First he talked shit after talking shit backfired and then he got a technical after picking up his fifth foul in the fourth quarter. Now I’m pretty sure he has to sit out game six in Cleveland.
  

• Ben Wallace is not a big time player. I understand that he’s known for his defense and everything but he is one of the worst offensive players I’ve ever seen. The guy makes Dennis Rodman look like Larry Bird.

Game six in Friday night.
