this is quite exciting. LeBron chokes and Cavs have 1st pick.
Could be the start of something crazy in the next few years. Maybe that Gilbert comment that Cavs would win title before LeBron does don't sound crazy afterall.........

it doesn't feel right being happy that Miami lost. It's not like they are some evil team like Boston or the Lakers. This was just a bunch of guys who think that they can have fun playing basketball while taking a shortcut to a title. Unfortunately if it were actually that easy, just about everyone would have a ring. I still don't think that they enjoyed being the villains of the league (especially LeBron who I think it effected alot more than he was letting on). Nice guys may not finish last, but they seldom finish first.
I don't know if a team has ever been so hated so quickly, but I don't think it's unjustified. If they had handled themselves differently throughout the process people would not be so opposed to them, but they had to showboat and be arrogant and celebrate before even doing anything. Not to mention I have very little respect for sport fans in Florida, so this whole thing is making me:
Congrats Cavs fans! I hope Dan Gilbert's promise comes true and you guys win a ring before LeFlop even does (and hopefully knocking him out in the playoffs).
