Fourth quarter surge ends Nets’ streak

Posted on Saturday 8 April 2006

LeBron dropped 37 points Saturday afternoon as the Cavaliers beat the Nets 108-102, snapping New Jersey’s 14-game winning streak. James, once again, took charge and led his team when it counted, scoring 18 of his points in the fourth quarter. With a Washington loss to Miami, the Cavaliers will lock up the fourth seed and clinch home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs.

New Jersey is the hottest team in the NBA and to come from behind and beat them on their home floor is pretty remarkable. Without Z, LeBron put the team on his shoulders and was phenomenal the way he carried the Cavaliers to victory.

“LeBron James was LeBron James; he is truly an amazing player,” Mike Brown said. “In my opinion, there are a lot of great players out there, but without him we’d be in trouble. So in my opinion, he’s an MVP.”

Indians show early power

Posted on Saturday 8 April 2006

The baseball season is just beginning and you can already see that the Indians and manager Eric Wedge were determined to avoid a slow start. Cleveland is swinging the bats; they are advancing the runners, and just playing smart baseball.
The injury to C.C. Sabathia is the only bad news coming out of the Indians camp so far. The power has been tremendous for this early in the season and people are starting to take notice.
The pitching will be tested early since the rotation is already going to change. The bullpen will have to pick up where it left off last year, even with all the new faces.
This team is already looking more confident than last year. I still believe we need a legitimate number one starter to make a run at the pennant.
