Jeez, after getting whooped on by the Bobcats in Charlotte, I knew the Lakers had problems, but they just freakin' lost to Cleveland, meaning we'll soon get to see the ridiculous head-bopping thing throughout the All-Star break.
The Lakers better get their heads out of the sand.

Originally posted by Rich Levine I think we've reached a point where it's OK to root for the Cavs.
Not that you'd ever take their side in a fight against the Celtics, but now that they've reached these depressing depths, and after all they and their fans have been through, it's probably OK to wish them well without threatening your allegiance to the C's. For the next few months, in a weird way, we'll all be rooting for the Cavs. They're America's sad little team.
And last night, that sad little team knocked off a giant. They beat the Lakers, and for that we'll be forever grateful.
The Lakers are officially last year's Celtics. A team that doesn't care about the regular season and is due for a handful of embarrassing losses. So for now we'll laugh. But all while knowing that, just like last year's Celtics, the playoffs will be a very different story.
For now, though . . . Thanks, Cavs!

I don't think Blazers owner Bob Whitsitt seems to understand that just because you load up on a bunch of big name players and high-profile free agents doesn't mean that it's going to translate into a championship.
