Tomorrow after I perform my working duty at the museum, I will hop in the VW and an expedition to Cleveland for my first ever NBA game. And what a good one it should be. It is the Cleveland Cavs and the Washington Wizards with Cleveland up 3-1 in a first to four series.
The nice thing for me is that not only will we get a chance to see the Cavs clinch a berth to the next round, but now all of a sudden, it is possible that the Cavs can go even further. The Atlanta Hawks has shown that Boston is beatable. Did anyone see the fourth quarter of last night's game in Atlanta? Boston was one punch away from delivering the knockout blow to the Hawks. Now instead of the series going back to Boston with a 3-1 Celtics lead, they go back to the Northeast tied at two and Atlanta feeling some confidence.
But more importantly for the Cavs, that swagger that the Celtics appeared to have from October all the way to last week is dying. I know you have to take it one series at a time, but Cleveland now has three opportunities to knock Washington out. If Atlanta knocks the Celtics out of the playoffs, it could go down as one of the largest upset in NBA postseason history.
