TV ALERT: More proof that God hates Cleveland sports

Bulls-Cavs, 1989 Game 5. On ESPN Classic now.

 

Dead. To. Me. [/ijag]

 

I will not be baited into ripping on pathetic Cleveland fanboys loosers because I know Doc is not one of them.

I will not ...

 

Thank God I am at work so I don't have to see this.

 

C'mon Spnited. You know you want it.

 

Hey, he's showing tremendous restraint here. I always wonder if the ability to avoid taking bait fades with age. I know my will power isn't what it used to be, but I'm not as ...experienced as spnited.

 

Excellent restraint here.

 

T-minus 20 minutes till The Shot.

 

I still remember being little and watching that game from a bedroom at my grandparents' house and being driven to tears when Jordan's shot fell and 18 years later, it still hurts.

 

Michael from the free-throw line, a shot on Ehlo and YEAHHH!!!!!! The BULLS WIN!!! THEY WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good thing I don't have cable. My TV might not make it through the afternoon in one piece.

(For the record, it is never easy to watch any portion of that game, and it is nearly impossible to watch The Shot -- still burns metaphorical daggers -- but this season, at least, Cleveland managed to usurp Chicago for one night and jump up a few spots for the No. 2 seed. If nothing else, the Cavaliers at least received the easier road through the first few rounds to the Eastern Conference finals.

Now watch them lose to the Wizards in seven games.)

 

Seeing the replay: Watch for the closeup of Collins after the shot. Behind him, Lacy J. Banks is jumping up and down, and someone else, I believe it was Melissa Isaacson, also gets out of her seat with a "Holy Shit" look on her face.
