Introduction and Ramblings

Hello all from sunny California and thank you Crohoops.com for letting me contribute to the site.  Here's a quick intro about me.  I live in the Los Angeles area but I'm a huge Cavs fan.  I was born and raised on a farm in rural Ohio and grew up watching my Dad dominate the local recreational league.  I've played basketball my whole life, and even though I have not made a career out of it, it has led to many opportunities for me, including playing in tournaments in Spain and Hong Kong, playing and beating Lebron James in H.O.R.S.E, and competing against former NBA players on the new season of "Pro's vs Joes".

The first round of the NBA playoffs is underway and this is what i think of each team.

WEST 

Dallas Mavericks - they're getting old.  Dirk needs to quit flopping.  I still can't believe they traded Devin Harris for Jason Kidd.  Worst trade of 2008.

San Antonio Spurs - they're really getting old.  without Ginobli they don't have a chance.  Tony Parker is really fast and I'm pretty sure his wife wants me.

Denver Nuggets - Billups makes them ten times better but they'll never beat the Lakers unless they start counting tattoos as points.

New Orleans Hornets - Doesn't matter, they can't beat the Lakers

Utah Jazz - Their coach is the best defender on the team.  too bad he's 70 years old.  Deron Williams is a stud.

Houston Rockets - Yao

Portland Trailblazers - Doesn't matter, they can't beat the Lakers.  Greg Oden looks like he's 50 years old.

Los Angeles Lakers -  Nobody in the western conference stands a chance against them.  They're too big and they have one of the deepest benches in the league.

EAST 

Philadelphia 76ers - Who cares, they can't beat the Cavs.

Detroit Pistons - Old

Miami Heat - Dwayne Wade is ridiculous but the team is too young

Boston Celtics -  I hate the Celtics

Atlanta Hawks - They have the best chance of any team in the Eastern Conference to compete with the Cleveland Cavs because they have so many scoring options and are so athletic.

Orlando Magic - Their coach looks like Ron Jeremy.  Injuries and lack of playoff experience will be their downfall

Chicago Bulls - I was so upset after they lost to the Celtics last night, i decide to write a letter to them.  Here it is.

Dear Chicago Bulls,

Derek Rose is amazing.  Ben Gordon is clutch.  Brad Miller is terrible.  If Joakim Noah has another mental fart after nearly costing you two games in the final seconds, you should cut off all of his hair and make him eat it.

David Kalb

Cleveland Cavs - Congrats to Mike Brown for winning coach of the year.  Even though he has no idea how to run an offense you have to give him credit for having the number one defense in the league.  Hopefully this year is the first of many MVP awards (both regular season and finals) for King James. Like most people i believe there is  no doubt the the Cavs and Lakers will meet in the finals.  

Hopefully it's not decided by a game of H.O.R.S.E.
