So we are 1 game into each conference Final and I have to say it is nice to see Cleveland go down. You might ask yourself why I take joy in seeing Cleveland lose? I mean they haven't won anything and it's only the second conference final in a long time for them, so why no love?
1. Lebron James...scrrrreeeechhh, wait a minute, Zack has an issue with Lebron? We gotta hear this ... So I am not saying he isn't an amazing hoopster it's just I don't like him. I know he is just trying to be "a global icon" (his words not mine) and I am supposed to be a witness to King James but, I don't like him. I have thought this through many times and I am thinking it boils down to he carries himself like he has 15 years of NBA experience and many titles. It puts me off. It is more like he is a star in a movie (although it can be argued the nba is scripted) than an athlete. I am wierd, I have stated that before and it hasn't changed.
2. The supporting cast - i am supposed to be rooting for Delonte West, Varejao (sp), ilgauskis, and a washed up Joe Smith? No, I'll take my chances rooting for the Magic even though JJ Redick sees to much time on the floor (1/2 second is too long for him).
3. They are touted as great by dominating a couple of horrible teams from the East. They are finally playing someone that can play, in the Magic.
4. Non sensical fandom. The last thing is I just don't like them. Back when they had Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, and Craig Ehlo I rooted for them against MJ and the Bulls (another story) but not now.
So When the Magic actually beat the Cavs for the first loss in the Playoffs I was happy and then turned the channel to the Dodger Game :-)
