A brief sports interlude (non-Chicago)


Joshua Gunter/The Plain Dealer

What the hell happened to Cleveland? (Sorry, Dabs, I don't know, either).
The MAGIC are going to the NBA Finals after beating the Cavs EVERY TIME at home this year (2-0 regular season, 3-0 in the Eastern Finals) and winning the series, 4-2 with a 103-90 win tonight at Amway Arena in Orlando.
I'm stunned; now I have to root for Orlando or watch Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol hoist the O'Brien Trophy, and see Phil Jackson pass Red Auerbach for most NBA titles as a head coach, which is NOT acceptable.
I feel for the good people of Cleveland, who must feel positively snake-bitten at this point, having won NO professional championships since the 1964 Browns won the NFL Championship.

Dwight Howard elevated his status in this series to Top 4 player with Lebron, Kobe, and Wade.

Lebron had a dominant series but couldn't pull it off.

LA-Orlando should be a great match-up.
