Any thoughts on how the Cavs have done without Lebron? Probably way too early to take a couple pre-season games without Lebron James and make a bunch of projections off of it, but I couldn’t help but notice. Defense gave up 100 points last night. A lot of guys are getting playing time, which is good.

Relax, big fella. After all, you’ve just been pleuritic.

The Cavaliers have a road game in Milwaukee on Saturday, but it’s doubtful James will make the trip. “He could possibly play tomorrow, if he wants, but we’ll probably end up holding him out,” Cavs coach Mike Brown said. “It’s the preseason, the first few games really aren’t important. I don’t care if we win or lose preseason games. My main focus is to get guys rest.”

Milwauke ain’t all that pleuritic, anyway. Won’t be missin’ much. Just stay home, play a little X-Box.

Wow. Of all the weird Cleveland sports thingies, pleurisy is a new one.

Pleurisy is inflammation of the thin layers of tissue (pleura) covering the lungs and the chest cavity. Pleurisy is often associated with a sharp chest pain that is made worse by a deep breath or cough. This is known as pleuritic pain.

So Lebron was pleuritic. I like that. Maybe from now on, when Lebron posterizes someone, we can call it “goin’ pleuritic on yo’ ass!”

There’s something about Lebron that transcends all that Cleveland sports hell, that allows us to make fun of a viral disease which Lebron overcomes. Lebron went pleuritic on that virus, baby!
