Can you imagine what must have been going on in the Cleveland team huddly at the end of the 1st quarter of game 1 when they were already down 10 to Detoroit. I imagine it going a little something like this...

Lebron: What's going on out there?
Drew Gooden: Yeah something's...different.
Mike Brown: This has been my deepest darkest fear for some time now, but I never thought it would actually happen.
Donyell Marshall: What is it coach?
Flip Murray: Lay it on us coach, we can handle it.
Mike Brown: Ok guys. What I'm going to say may shock you...they're...they're...they're playing defense.
Lebron: Oh dear god!!!
Damon Jones: I think I heard about this from that guy with the kidney problems I played with in Miami.
Lebron: Isn't there anything we can do?
Drew Gooden: What if we pass really really well?
Mike Brown: Dammit Drew, this isn't college anymore!!! It's too late for us now. If only we'd prepared for this situation instead of holding slam dunk contests for the last 20 minutes of practice every day. The only thing left is to go out there and give it our all. And may god have mercy on our souls.


On another note, I can't help but wonder what the losing playoff teams do with those banners that have the numbers 1 through 16 on them that they plan to cross out. What does Memphis do with theirs? or Milwaukee? Does Andrew Bogut keep it with his Bucks hat from draft night as mementos of his rookie year. Could I buy the Wizards one somewhere and then enthusiastically cross off the remaining numbers as I lead them to the title on NBA Live '99. I really want one of those banners.
