Keep your chin up. Stranger things have happened. How about the Red Sox being down 3-0 in the ALCS to come back and win the pennant and then go on to sweep the Cardinals (arguably the best team in baseball at that time) to win the World Series.
Remember the immortal words of Winston Churchill and the late NCSU mens basketball coach, Jim Valvano (whose Wolfpack surprised all the oddsmakers by beating the heavily favored Houston Phi Slamma Jamma for the national title)...NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE UP (Churchill)...DON'T YOU EVER, EVER GIVE UP!!! (Valvano's farewell address as he was dying of cancer to the Wolfpack faithful).
I haven't given up. I was just a li'l down after the whipping Friday night.
The big game's at 3:30 today.
Truth be told, I've never been a huge basketball fan. What got me engaged in this year's playoffs was Rasheed (sp?) Wallace's taunting of our team. It put me straight into the "We'll show HIM" mode. :)
Linzee! your boys did so so much better than anyone thought they would! ...you can be proud of them... they're growing and young... and they have Bron Bron the man child...
They went farther than anyone (even you cle fans) thought didn't they?
This is a good thing... they'll only get better! be happy!

All this reminds me of that line that Arsenio Hall once said:
"Cleveland -- the Mistake by the Lake!"
((ducking and running))

Your words they do comfort me, Mr. Tom. Thank you.
'Tis true, they surprised a lot of people. I was proud of them.
And Le Bron is saying he wants to stay here. This is a GOOD thing.
