NBA 2008-09 Season

I would NEVER consider winning 3 series to make the Stanley Cup Finals a fluke.

I meant that the severe lack of success since 1996 makes it seem like the ultimate one-shot wonder.

It seems like one of the biggest flukes in sports history.

true. also the coach they had that season didn't last very long there either.

LeBron scores 41 points for the 3rd time in 4 nights!

Cavs win their 5th straight. This matches their longest win streak last year when they did it once in January.

The Cavs are now 6-2 and stand alone atop of the Central Division.

Next up: Denver @ Cleveland, 8pm on TNT, Thursday Night

It also goes onto talk about how Greece is extremely passionate about basketball and how the game is different.

Really enlightening. Please read.......

ESPN - Mark Schwarz: For Josh Childress, Greece is the word

Watched a segment on ESPN about Childress yesterday. Most of his games are played in "arenas" that were smaller than gyms I played in when I was in high school. Yeah, Kobe and Lebron can't wait to play there
