Can't win them all, HD.
But, let's be honest- they aren't winning 70."Winning big games ON THE ROAD is the signature of a clutch QB." BillD
There's more to playoff success than just winning. Sometimes, you have to go into enemy territory outside your stadium and walk the walk.

Woe is Cleveland
Bad, Bad, Bad, really Bad news..............
At the start of the game, the Cavs were already without the services of 2 of their starting 5. By the end of the first, we were down another.
Delonte West has a fractured right wrist. I knew this season was too good to be true. This is Cleveland. I kept waiting to see how this season was going to be derailed, and now I see it.
Delonte was off to another great start tonight when he went up to challenge a Derrick Rose shot and he kind of got his legs cut out from under him. He came crashing down to the floor head first, busting open a cut over his eye, and fracturing his right wrist.
Delonte is this team’s best perimeter defender. He’s the guy who guards the opponents’ quicker PGs when Mo Williams is struggling to stay in front of them. Delonte has been the team’s best 3-point shooter. Delonte is the guy who does all the little things….the intangibles…when the team needs them the most, whether it be a timely steal, or knocking loose a pass on a fast break, or even the occasional blocked shot. In my opinion, the Cavaliers will not be able to get the #1 or #2 seed in the East if Delonte misses extended time. Not with Ilgauskas still out for a while and Ben Wallace losing a lot of strength and weight with his illness. Not with the meat of the schedule still to come.
I will be sitting on eggshells until I hear the estimated time frame for Delonte to heal, but until then, the sick to my stomach feeling just won't go away. This sucks bad!

That does suck! I saw this last night and it did not look good.
Of course I'm a Celtics fan, but I NEVER want my team to benefit because of injury. I hope Delonte is ready for the playoffs.
Delonte, as I'm sure you know, started his career in Boston, and I wish him the best in his recovery. He's a good guy.

Yeah, I knew he came to Boston. So, you're very aware that he is a good guy. Huge heart indeed.
Something that definitely touched me and said a lot about his character came before the start of the second half. During warmups, Delonte came out on the floor with the rest of his team. He was bruised, had a swollen lip and eye. He had bandages over his eye with stitches. He also had his right hand in a support cast. Any other player would most likely be in street clothes taking the rest of the night off in the locker room. Not D-West. He was out there for the second half to root on the rest of his teammates.
Healthy or not, these guys mean the world to eachother. The team concept remains in tack. Other guys are just going to have to step it up.
It would just be a B* if the one thing to derail this dream of a season would be injuries.

This is really, really bad news. When I saw the play, I was hoping it was going to be "just" a concussion, but being a Clevelander, deep down inside I *knew* he broke his wrist.
