Can't post this one without adding the original:

I've got two buddies that work in downtown Cleveland and both claim they've never seen these videos.

Cavs are rolling! Not much defense played last night by the Raptors. That base-line dunk by LeBron...oh my!

Looking good for Cavs fans...didn't call them the Lebron's this time. :) Some are too gentle.

They are playing solid...this years finals should be more competitive. Still think either West team will take it...witch will be Golden State.

I feel your pain as a Knick/Patrick Ewing fan.

I think GS will take the West. If the CAVS can split the first two games out west, then I think we have a shot at winning in six or seven. Well, that's what I'm hoping for anyway. That game last night was a brawl....and a ball! Had great seats!

I think the Cavs will win against either of these teams. They gave Golden State a tough time last year as LeBron and The Bench Buddies. He's playing angry as well lately and I love it.

That is awesome man...especially for a playoff game!! I was fortunate enough to sit front row (work tickets) for Cavs/Pacer game back when Lebron played for Cleveland the first time. He certainly put on a show that night.

I think GS wins the West too. IMO the Cavs will need to at least two on the road to give themselves a chance.

What amazed me was the size and the speed of these guys. Best part....LeBron "freight-training" two different guys as they tried to get the charging calls early in the game. Two hits! LeBron hitting them and them hitting the ground. The guy is a monster!

Full disclosure: I don't watch basketball (boring to me) but I'm rooting hard against the Cavs... when Cleveland wins a title The Browns should be the team to win it... or at least the Indians... not the Cavs.

Well, I'd certainly prefer the Browns to win our first championship in ages...but you know what they say are beggers. Anyway, I'm looking for just a little ray of sunshine here.

I'm not a Cavs fan and I'm not a Cleveland resident. That might be the pettiest thing I've ever read lol.

It's petty. But it's also true. Browns fans have really been loyal to their team. They hate the way the team plays; but they still go to the games, participate in the sports talk radio shows, and pay attention to the box scores. Cleveland may have 3 professional teams, and the biggest stars may play basketball and baseball, but Cleveland is a football town.

While this is all 100% true i think ACamp is probably in the 0.00001% that wouldn't gladly take a champion in any of the 3 sports.

ha, I'm just a Browns fan though, I can't pretend to give a shit about the Cavs... it would easily be the 3rd most popular option if Cleveland fans could pick a team to win a title this year though, correct??? That's partly the point, and then there's the fact that I'm petty Browns fan.... which I'll fully own up to... hahaha

No the Indians are a distant third at this point. LeBron's impact on basketball has been crazy.

IMO, a Cavs title would be huge for the city and their fans, but the only two apocalyptic "their city would burn and never recover" titles in all of professional sports would be a Browns SB or Cubs WS.

Leborn and the cast of characters certainly deserve a lot of credit. But imo Tyronn Lue is the one who turned the corner with this squad.

Just a shame, for Cleveland fans, they will be up against the Warriors in the Finals. Any other team/years they'd be a slam dunk to win the title...not with GS being so good. Reminds me of Ewing/Miller trying to get past Jordan's Bulls...MJ just wasn't going to let it happen.

I don't think Cleveland will be outmatched by any means. They can win the Finals if killer Lebron shows up.

You might be right...we've all seen a "killer" Lebron at certain times but we always, every time saw that out of Jordan. Steph is more of a "killer" than Lebron imo.

"At this point"........ You said it.... One team has an all time talent and is at their all time peak and the other is just average, historically and typically speaking it's not close..... Overall, all things being equal, no one gives a shit about the Cavs. Look at it this way, the Blackhawks have owned Chiacgo for a few years now.... It's because they're really, really good, not because Chicago suddenly doesn't care about the Bears.

I don't know GATT..., if the town could vote to reset everything tomorrow and pick which teams win... I'm pretty freakin positive it'd be Browns, .....Tribe, .................................. Cavs.... Any other notion is just being caught up in the "LeBron moment" Imo
