Hard fought game with TONS of fouls. Let's hope we can regroup and win this next one in Orlando, bringing the momentum back to Cleveland.

This could also be posted in the Cavs thread; however, due to the investment aspect for both the city and franchise: http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2009/05/proposed_chinese_investors_dee.html Proposed Chinese investors' deep pockets excites LeBron James for Cavaliers potential by Brian Windhorst/Plain Dealer Reporter Sunday May 24, 2009, 10:35 PM Prior to Sunday's Game 3 in Orlando, LeBron James said he was excited by the prospect of the Cavaliers adding Chinese investors. ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Cavaliers' new business partner is a huge multinational corporation with billions in assets. According to multiple NBA sources, the team's central new Chinese investor is New World Development Company, a Hong Kong-based conglomerate. It has over $21 billion in assets in hotels, convention properties, department stores, telecommunications, infrastructure projects and even financial services mostly in Southeast Asia.

So residental is not part of Phase I??? i guess I didn't understand that from before.

I like this article from CBSSports the best: LeBron erases Cleveland's pain with his own Mike moment May 23, 2009 By Gregg Doyel, CBSSports.com National Columnist CLEVELAND -- Until now, LeBron didn't have a Michael Moment. LeBron James had an MVP and a scoring title. He had all kinds of points and dunks and fans. He had that crazy game in the 2007 playoffs when he scored Cleveland's final 25 points in a double-overtime victory against Detroit. But only now, with a 23-footer at the buzzer to win Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night, did LeBron get his very own Michael Moment. His first Michael Moment, that is. There are more to come. Maybe even in this postseason. But Friday night when he hit that 23-footer to give Cleveland a 96-95 victory against Orlando, it was the first time that James -- His Airness' first and only legitimate heir -- turned in a single, signature moment worthy of Michael Jordan himself.

Have you searched for any rental houses on 31st, 32nd, and 33rd streets?? sometimes those can be the cheapest ways to go. If you can find two in proximity, it may work out for you.

My girlfriend was at the game. She said she'd never seen anything like it from the crowd after the shot went through...the arena was the loudest she'd ever heard, people were crying, people were hugging each other, people were bowing down. Hell she said she even hit the floor cuz she didn't know what to do. Wow, what a memory last night was.

All bow down to the King. WE ARE ALL WITNESSES!!!!!

Wow. Thanks for the updates!

I'm loving the coverage www.cleveland.com, PD, and all the local stations are giving to the Cavs. Orlando's Coverage is so bad and pales in comparision (referring mostly to http://www.orlandosentinel.com/) Also, to add to this feel good day. Current temperatures: CLEVELAND 81 ORLANDO 73 Wouldn't mind if that was the score either! haha

I agree. maybe it was more than redbull...I was a little tipsy. Obviously the joy is tossing the sugar doing your best LBJ impersonation. So we'd need to modify your friend's if it was from 5 years ago to include the throw! Yeah, the servers weren't too happy...but a few joined in at the end since they new they had to clean it up anyway.

If any of you are at Cleats Downtown before/after the Cavs game ... they have a new shot from the new owner Eddie Occhionero for the playoffs. It's called the "Lebron Bomb." You start off with a shot of Crown Royal and I believe red bull in the other larger glass...in the mean time, you have an opened packet of sugar quietly sitting in one hand. You drop the Crown (King James...get it) into the other glass, take the shot, and finally throw the white sugar in the air LBJ style. Pretty creative marketing idea if you ask me. I know its not hard to make/do by any means, but it is sure fun as hell to watch!
