Cavaliers Turning It Around?

LOS ANGELES, CA - Let's give the Cavaliers credit where some credit is due. Two weeks ago it looked as if this team was heading in the wrong direction, beelining towards the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference with their star looking about as lively as Anna Nicole Smith's week-old cadaver. Two weeks later the Cavaliers have captured some momentum, winning four of their last five - three of which on national television (our only reprieve from the cacophonous calls of Fred McLeod).

Last night it was old-school LeBron - as in, LBJ from from 05-06. He attacked the basket on almost every possession, scoring 38 points on only one made jump shot, which is precisely what Cavalier fans want to see. Although, let the record show I NEVER want to see another basketball game with 97 free throw attempts, NEVER. If I wanted to see that much starting and stopping, I'd watch a nine-inning baseball game.

And how about Eric Snow, the "Antichrist." The guy who can do no right in eyes of Clevelanders, went 13, 5 and 8 last night while defending Kobe as well as anyone humanely can. I don't hear anyone talking about waiving the Canton Bulldog this morning...
