If you're like most people, you don't read my sportswriting for the sort of analysis you can get from any sportswriter. In fact, if you're like most people, you don't read anything I write at all. But when you do, you expect me to have a clever angle that the other guys just don't see, and believe me, I got that in spades today. Be ready for my bold, insightful second-half Cavalier predictions:
- The Cavs will win a lot of games.
- They will not lose very many games.
- They will qualify for the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
- LeBron James will be one of the club's top players.
- They will focus on the basket area. Note: this was one of the "keys to the game" before the recent Nets game, as if there was anywhere else a basketball team could possibly focus. The other key was: don't take them lightly. Sorry, guys, you can definitely take a 4-46 team lightly. The Cavs did just that and still won easily. Probably by focusing on the basket area.
- JJ Hickson will shoot a high percentage of high-percentage shots.
- Coach Brown will eagerly discuss the team's defensive work.
- Anderson Varejao will be knocked down while defending an opposing player who is attempting to score.
- LeBron James will not play for the New York Knicks or New Jersey Nets the rest of this season.
- Editor's note: this just happened: Holy shit, we have Antawn Jamison now! 'm pretty sure George Costanza swung this trade: "I found a way we can get Jamison and Telfair...and we wouldn't even have to give up that much!"
- Seriously, this trade is a joke - we give up a #1 pick way the hell at the bottom of the round and Z's expiring deal (which we may or may not get back) and get a guy averaging 20.5/8.8. I feel the sort of remorse Yankee fans must feel, or would if they had souls.
- Suddenly, that $20 I put on the Cavaliers at 3:1 is looking extra-good. Vegas should just pay it out early to beat the rush.
