Haters Rejoice- Boston/Cleveland Take a Hit
Dwyane Wade Celebrated his Olympic buddy’s birthday by upsetting his team, while getting a killer block on Lebron in the process. Lebron is now 0-3 on birthday games, on this, his 24th birthday. The Celtics, in the meantime, have been having quite a west coast debacle, after losing two in a row to california teams, beats Sacramento, and then loses in Portland; whom, by the way, are playing without guard Brandon Roy. This is good news for all those Boston haters, and for anybody who doesn’t want to see the Bulls 72 win record broken. Other than that, it is just fairly stunning news. Miami, who have played fantastic ball in spurts, now have beaten the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now the top three teams are all tied in the loss column, with Cleveland having one more win than the Lakers, and Boston having two more wins than the Cavs. It was a great night for haters out there, a King being dethroned on his birthday, and the NBA Champs losing 3 out of 4 games on a regrettable west coast trip. While I’m on the subject of losing, I’d like to congratulate the Detroit Lions: You guys have set the standard on losing, have a great offseason.
