Game 7: Cavaliers vs. the Knickerbockers
November 6, 2009
The following is my 7th game review.
Did the Cavs play better in game 7? You bet they did, shooting 54% for the game vs. 41% in game 6. The Cavs played the game the way I like it: get ahead early in the game and stay ahead! It allows the viewer to relax and just enjoy the game, maybe napping a little and catching a little Larry King at the half.
Was Lebron auditioning for the Knicks? I don’t think so, and I’ll tell you why. If Lebron leaves the Cavs next year, it will be for money AND to play on a winning team. And I don’t see the Knicks as a winning team; they’re just not that good.
Readers, please share your ideas on Lebron’s free agency. Look into your crystal balls and tell us what you see happening: will he stay with the Cavs, will he play for the Knicks, will be play for another team, will he quarterback for the Browns?
We’ll compare your predictions with reality this summer. Winner gets a jar of peanut butter (smooth or chunky) plus bragging rights!
My MVP of the game: I’ve got to give it to LBJ, the first time this season, with 33 points.
Final score: Cavs 100, Knicks 91.
Cumulative score: Cavs 576, Opponents 543.

Game 6: Cavaliers vs. the Bulls
November 5, 2009
The following is my 6th game review.
Embarrassed by the Browns? Now owner Randy Lerner is taking questions from the media only via e-mail. SI calls the Browns “the closest thing the NFL has to a daily soap opera”.
Here are my top 10 ways to deny your team’s the Cleveland Browns:
10. “I don’t believe the season has started yet.”
9. “I only go to the games for the beer.”
8. “Their record is 1 loss, 7 wins.”
7. “I paint my face like a dawg to scare the neighbors.”
6. “I only wear orange and brown colors because they’re slimming.”
5 “Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore 10 years ago!”
4. “I’m a foreign exchange student.”
3. “You must be thinking of the Cleveland Cavaliers.”
2. “I live 100 miles north of Columbus.” (quote from the mayor of Akron)
And the number one way to deny your team’s the Cleveland Browns:
“The Browns? I think that soap opera’s on NBC.”
My review of the big game: the Cavs vs. the Bulls:
This was not a pretty game. Slow, like the Cavs were playing knee-deep in peanut butter. The Cavs shot just 41%. And am I the only one who thinks Shaq and Z shouldn’t play at the same time, the two big guys just clog up the lanes to the basket?
My MVP of the game: Jiffy.
Final score: Cavs 85, Bulls 86.
Cumulative score: Cavs 561, Opponents 538.

Game 5: Cavaliers vs. the Washington Wizards
November 3, 2009
The following is my 5th game review.
My nephew and faithful reader Joe asked for my analysis of the Browns and their dismal 1-7 record. Aunt Louise is now going to BLOW THE LID OFF THE BROWNS. You won’t find this anywhere else!
First of all, let me say the really embarrassed party should be Buffalo, the only team to actually lose to these clowns.
My theory, after a day and a half of intense study, is this: no team could possibly play this badly, week after stinking week, unless something else entirely was going on here.
But what? Well, I believe the problem is…drum roll…ART MODELL. I just found out that yes, he IS still alive. Folks, you heard it here first.
Art must have something big on Randy Lerner, big enough to use for blackmail, probably something from Randy’s youth, when Art and Randy’s father were partners. Now Art is forcing Randy to make the Browns play as poorly as possible. It’s not enough to just lose, they need to look pathetic. Can you explain this season any other way?
Call Woodward and Bernstein on this one folks. My candidate for deep-throat: the elusive and invisible former GM, George Kokinis.
Art’s motive: revenge, a dish best served cold. And northeast Ohio is as cold as it gets.
What’s the solution? Aunt Louise has a solution, and here it is.
The buck should stop with Randy Lerner, the owner. He’s the one ultimately responsible for this mess, whether by blackmail or stupidity. Sources say he’s more interested in soccer anyway. Ten years of suffering should trigger some variation on eminent domain, and the city of Cleveland should take back the team and the stadium from Randy for one dollar. Or maybe less.
Mr. Webster defines eminent domain as "the right of the government to take private property...when in the best interest of the public...usually with compensation to the owner."
Call the press, call the mayor of Cleveland, call in the Dawgs. In the bye-week, we should all say bye-bye to Randy. Bye-bye.
That’s one solution. Readers, let’s hear your solutions, your ideas and comments on the Browns!
So, finally, here’s my review of the big game: the Cavs vs. the Wizards.
The Cavs had another slow start, down by as much as 18 points in the first quarter. They turned things around in the second half with a solid defense, plus they made a lot of baskets.
My MVP of the game: the fans. They were so into the game in the second half you couldn’t hear announcer Austin Carr.
Final score: Cavs 102, Bobcats 90.
Cumulative score: Cavs 476, Opponents 452.

Game 4: Cavaliers vs. the Charlotte Bobcats
October 31, 2009
The following is my 4th game review.
After my last blog, some of Aunt Louise’s single girlfriends called asking for Bernie Kosar’s phone number. (See the wifeless comment, Game 3). Well, I don’t have it, so stop asking. Besides, Bernie might be a little mad at me right now. (See the dishwasher comment, Game 3).
I’ve scored a little more information on Bernie’s possible return to the Browns. My sources say he’ll probably get a position in the “front” office, whatever that means. Since finance is obviously not his forte, let’s hope they don’t put him in charge of the accounting department.
That good-looking quarterback Brett Favre came back from retirement, should Bernie? Although Bernie says he’s broken every bone in his body at least once, and he’s not nearly as good-looking as Brett, couldn’t he play in a wheelchair and still play better than the current line-up? Readers, let’s hear from you on the Bernie issue and his future role with the Browns.
So, here’s my review of the big game: the Cavs vs. the Bobcats.
The Cavs gave us a bit of a Halloween scare at the start of the game, but soon settled down and got to the business of beating those Bobcats.
My MVP: Delonte West, back from his bi-polar break, was extra-tall last night, scoring 13 points.
Final score: Cavs 90, Bobcats 79.
Cumulative score: Cavs 374, Opponents 362.
In closing, a shout-out to reader Jeff on his birthday tomorrow. Happy birthday Jeff!
