Cleveland was my birthplace. While my parents were alive, and God rest their souls, I thanked them all the time for having the good sense to move to S. California when I was 5.

I was still surprised at how Orlando seemed to own them. Without the James miracle last second shot in game 2, they would have swept.

My folks were from Erie, and had the good sense to move to SoCal before I was born.

I watched the hockey game over the basetball game. Sounds like I made a smart decision. Orlando is clearly the better team. I could have very easily been a 4 game sweep for Orlando. It might be an interesting NBA Finals. You probably have to favor the Lakers. Probably in 6 games.

I would actually not be shocked if Orlando won.

John Elway, Josh Beckett, now Dwight Howard will haunt Cleveland fans for ever.

And it gets worse...

It is virtually certain LeBron James will wear a Knicks jersey next year.

Magic. The Orlando freaking Magic?

Do they show jazz hands before they take the center jump?

Oh yes - it’s an oblique reference to Disney World and the other theme parks.

It’s still an idiotic name for a male sports team.
