  Don't know if the Cavs are the worst, but I doubt many think they are great. It's pretty common knowledge that people are only looking at one guy on that team. Only crazy people try to kill the pope. There are Catholics who will fight you for just rolling your eyes at the pope. I would think that the pain of having the world know that you took that erection stuff supercedes the pain from the erection.

  I think you omitted some substantial facts in the Cavs' article. When you spoke about how weak the East was, why didn't you mention that the Cavs are 19-11 against the West this year? That's better than their record against the East! The Spurs actually had a worse record against the East than they did against the West as well. I'm not saying that the East wasn't the weaker conference this year, but don't make it out like they're pathetic when the two finals teams both did better against the West side. And why didn't you mention that the Cavs have won 3 of their last 4 against the Spurs? Or that the East has taken 2 of the last 3 championships (and only came one game short in the third)? Doesn't sound like an embarrassingly weaker conference to me... It was also a little off to criticize a playoff sweep of the Wizards when the Cavs were clearly saving energy in guarenteed wins. And they soundly beat a Nets team who had gone 14-5 in their last 19 games and start a future hall-of-famer, a perennial all-star, and a 20-point scorer. (Their poor record was only due to the Jefferson injury in mid-year.) How many teams have a nucleus like that? Yes, Mike Brown is not a good coach, Lebron has very little help, and it's going to take a lot for the Cavs to defeat the Spurs in a 7-game series. But don't dismiss this team just because Lebron carries the whole thing himself. Their 14-4 roll through the playoffs is not a fluke - he is legitimately that good, and he makes his teammates that much better. The Cavs aren't a lucky 50-win team - they could have won at least half a dozen more if they played the regular season with Dallas-like intensity (and we've seen whose strategy is superior). They're not a dynasty candidate yet. But compared to some of the other teams we've seen make this contest in the last decade ('99-'03 is a good place to look), they're not half-bad.

  And why would you care if you had an erection that wouldn't stop? I know my wife wouldn't. I'd just hope the cat wouldn't use it as a scratching post at night.

  But if an erection lasts for too long, it can do serious and irreversible damage to the veins, tissue, etc. That's bad.

  It was the popemobile that made him do it. Freaks crazy people out. I was ready to get all indignant about your Cavs teaser, but your points in the article are well taken. The East sucks plain & simple, but this will be no cakewalk for the Spurs & Tim Dunk'd-on. I suppose we will be getting spam emails shilling 48-packs of Boost now?

  Going into the Vatican is like going through airport security. And don't even try to take a pic of the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, they'll be on you like S.W.A.T. Kirk, you'd NEVER be able to upchuck there now, with all the security.

  Bo, interesting article on the Cavs. Question: Are the Cavs any better than the three teams the Lakers molly-wopped during their 3-peat years (Sixers, Pacers, Nets)? Those teams were REALLY sorry. During that stretch of years, the true championship series was the Western Conference Final. Maybe not the Pacers or the Nets, but that Sixers team was downright putrid. They had A.I. and thats it. Next best player, Aaron McKie (arguably followed by Kevin Ollie ... jokes). Common denominator: Both teams have (had) Eric Snow.

  Rex, those Swiss Guard don't play, even if they do look like the European equivalent of a rodeo clown.

  The Sixers were putrid compared to the Nets ans Pacers? I don't think you watched that 2001 Final at all Left Coast Vic. Not only did the Sixers win Game 1 (with AI stepping over Tyron Lue in the process), they should have won the next two games, particularly Game 3 when Shaq foled out with two minutes to go. In Game 4 they managed to cut a 27-point lead down to seven in the 4th quarter. Compare that with the Nets showing the following year.

  Maybe my commentary did come across correct. What I was trying to say was that the Sixer squad stunk as a whole. AI did indeed murdered the Lakers the entire series. Actually, in watching the series I thought he should have been the MVP even though his squad lost. I honestly think that if AI picked up four other cats from Temple's JV squad he would have had a better chance of beating the Lakers. That Pacers squad was legit and matched up better with Rik & Reggie. They legitimately won two games. The Sixers were probably better than that Nets team, but not by much.
