Joy On The Court

Quote of the day:
"A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labors of a spasmodic Hercules."
--Anthony Trollope

Joy has come to Mudville. The mistake on the lake is no fake. Or something like that.

How about those Cleveland Cavaliers! They came back from a 0-2 deficit in the NBA Eastern Conference finals and won the series over the mighty Detroit Pistons. Now they’re headed to the NBA finals against the San Antonio Spurs. the games begin on Thursday, and promise to be full of spirit and emotion.

The Cavaliers were legendary for having the worst team in the NBA, year after year. Things shifted a few years ago when the phenomenal LeBron James joined the team, and now the team seems to have blossomed.

James is extraordinary. Remember the video of him during practice last season making three or four full-court shots in a row? He seemed to do it with so little effort. He also seems to be a down-to-earth, nice guy. The photo of him jumping into the center’s arms at the end of the Detroit game is terrific.

I do hope they can mix it up with Tim Duncan and friends. They sure have momentum on their side. And Cleveland deserves a championship.
