Cavs ground the Lakers

Yes, they were the defending Champions last year, but right now we're in a different season, and recently, the Los Angeles Lakers faced a different Cleveland Cavaliers team. So much different from the team they bullied last year.

For the regular season, they only face each other twice. The first time was Christmas Day 2009 in Hollywood where the Cavs massacred the Lakers infront of their own fans. The second time was the other day in Ohio where the Cavs proved that they're for real this season.

Lebron and the Cavs - 2

Kobe and the Lakers - 0.

More importantly, if they meet in the Finals (which many are saying they will), my Cavaliers will have homecourt advantage.

Yes, the Cavs started the season slow, but right now, it's starting to get scary for the other teams as their nightmare is becoming a reality.

On the Right Track

A few more days until the new season of the NBA opens, and the excitement is slowly building up. After the best start in franchise history and setting a lot of NBA records, only to lose in the playoffs to the Orlando Magic, the Cleveland Cavaliers made some moves in the off-season and assembled a new-look Cavs to support King James.

So far, so good, looking at the footages of the training camp. The new recruits are doing fairly well. It's so good to see Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon and the Big Diesel, Shaquille O'Neal on the same side as King James this season.

My motto is very simple: Win a ring for the king. My job is to protect the King. I'm in the protection business.

-Shaquille O'Neal

Cavs welcome Shaq

After being eliminated by the Orlando Magic and its self-proclaimed Superman in Dwight Howard, my Cleveland Cavaliers have started the process to be a much better team next season. And seemingly enough, the first step they did was to get the original Superman in the NBA, Shaquille O'Neal. Yes, it's Shaq-Fu, Shaq-daddy, Big Diesel, the Big Eerie, the Big Aristotle bringing his act and experience to Ohio. He's already 37 years old, and even though he is not as dominant as he was before, he is still a dominating force below that will command and demand double-teams. This is a very exciting development for us Cavs fans, and though we will miss Big Ben, I don't mind parting ways with Pavlovic.

Shaq had 3 championships with Kobe and 1 with D-Wade. I'm so much excited with him sharing the ball with the current MVP and probably the most dominant force in the NBA today in King James. And yes, Shaq is out to get back the Superman title from Howard.

Other teams are also improving like the Magic getting Vince Carter and the Spurs getting Richard Jefferson, and they better improve because the Cavs are not done yet. Shaq is just the beginning. Expect more player movements before the next season of the NBA begins.

The MVP for THREEEEE!

All night long, he kept trusting his teammates. They kept failing him, but he kept trusting them.

Until, with just one second left and his team down by two, LeBron James had no choice but to do it himself.

One second is not enough to pass the ball to someone else so when King James received the inbound pass from Mo Williams, he had no choice but to take the shot himself. A fadeaway three pointer at the buzzer. A one-point win. More importantly, The MVP saved his team from the jaws of defeat, and saved his team from being down 0-2 going to Orlando. It's now 1-1, the Cavs just needing to win at least one game of the three games in Orlando to regain the homecourt advantage. Game Three will be Monday (Manila Time), there will be a lot of work to do by the Cavs, but hey they're not the Best Team in the NBA for no reason, and as Mo Williams said at the end of the game, "We have the Best Player in the world!"

We are all witnesses.

Game 7s

As I'm writing this, two Game 7s are scheduled for May 18 (Manila Time). The Los Angeles Lakers versus the Houston Rockets, the winner of which will face the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, while the Boston Celtics will face the Orlando Magic, the winner of which will face my Cleveland Cavaliers for the Eastern Conference Finals.

Whoever the Cavs will face in the East, I'm sure it will be an interesting series since they have a score to settle with both Boston and Orlando, but if I were to choose, I would like the Celtics to face the Cavs. Boston defeated them last year in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals despite 45 points from King James. This year, the Cavs are a much better team while the Celtics are without KG who's out for the rest of the playoffs. But as King James said, "One all-star is out, they still have two all-stars".

The following weeks will be exciting for the NBA and the fans all over the world. For me, it will be a relief from the stress at work.

Go Cavs! 8 wins down, 8 more to go!

King James

Finally!

King James was officially crowned as the NBA MVP for this season. As the most dominant force offensively and defensively - virtually unstoppable, my 24 year old idol is surpassing the hype that surrounded him from the start. He received a total of 109 out of a possible 121 votes, easily outvoting Kobe and D-Wade. As D-Wade would put it, "Lebron is the MVP of the league. He will be in that conversation every single year."

And as Bron's Cavaliers have been doing all season long, they've been unstoppable and simply dominating so far in the playoffs. After sweeping the Pistons in four games in the first round, they just blew the Atlanta Hawks away in Game 2 a couple of hours ago, tying a league record by winning their sixth-consecutive playoff game by double digits. Bron Bron and the other starters didn't have to play in the fourth quarter, that's how dominant the team is right now.

So far, so good. Next two games will be in Atlanta, hopefully the Cavs will finish the series there and then again wait for either Orlando or Boston for the Eastern Conference Finals.

Cavs Sweep Pistons

Best Record in the Regular Season, Check!

Coach of the Year, Check!

Sweep the First Round of the Playoffs, Check!

My Cleveland Cavaliers just swept through the First Round of the Playoffs a few minutes ago. Their victim was the once-mighty Detroit Pistons, a team that once reigned in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs is the only unbeaten team so far in the playoffs, and eliminating the Pistons early means that they have a little more than a week to rest while waiting for the winner of the series between the Miami Heat and the Atlanta Hawks which the Heat currently leads 2-1. Cleveland did not just beat the

In the series against the Pistons, Bron Bron once again showed his leadership, his all-around brilliance and his total dominance. Now add that to his amazing regular season performance, it will be close to impossible if he is not awarded his very first Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. Lebron James is a Beast, and I'm just happy he's on our side.

4 wins in the bag, 12 wins to go for the Championship! Go Cavs!

Go Cavs!

I am so ecstatic and excited that my Cleveland Cavaliers finished with the best record in the regular season, which means King James and his court will have homecourt advantage all throughout the playoff. How important is that? Well, it means that if ever they play a Game 7 in whatever round in the playoff against whoever it is, it will be played in Cleveland where the Cavs lost only twice the whole year, the second loss happening yesterday, their final regular season game, where they only lost by a point. Technically, that loss doesn't really count since King James and three other starters didn't play to prepare for the war ahead.

Speaking of the war ahead, it starts this Saturday (Sunday, Philippine Time) in Cleveland when the Allen Iverson-less Detroit Pistons come to town. Will the Cavs finally go all the way this year? I really hope so! They need 16 wins in the playoffs and finals to win it all, here's hoping win number one will be this Saturday.
