If you couldn't tell by my title, this is going to be a blog about the playoffs. Yeah I know, I laid the sarcasm on a little thick. I apologize, its just my nature.

Anyways, I realized that I haven't blogged in a while, actually 233 days since I last blogged. Wow, I mean come on....what is wrong with me? Well this fact was brought to my attention by Admin, eh?. So here it is.

[insert blog here]

With the playoffs upon us, the NBA created this new widget based of their "Amazing Happens Here" tag line. (Also, I feel it's a must that I bring this to your attention since I work on the web). It's a really cool widget that allows to create you own highlight reel from favorite playoff moments (see mine below). Yes of course, mine includes only Cavaliers moments, but seriously what other video highlights would you want?

As I was piecing my widget together, I came across the LeBron video in which he dropped 25 straight points on the Pistons in Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals. I remember it vividly as I sat there alone in my apartment in Niles, OH. (Yes Niles, OH. There is such a place. If you have never been there...don't. There's a mall and a baseball field. That's it.) The most nerve racking game, but most exciting game at the same time. If my neighbors didn't know I was a Cleveland fan, they new after that game.

The point of this trip down memory lane is that this one game will be burned into my memory for ever. Unfortunately for me, it's not the best story to brag about one's social life. Game 6, however, is a little more memorable for me - and my social life.

When Daniel Gibson was dropping 31 points on the Pistons to send the Wine and Gold to their first ever trip to the NBA Finals, I was in a bar in Pittsburgh. The reason I was in Pittsburgh was for a Pirates game (Don't worry I'm an Indians fan) with a bunch of my coworkers at the time. If I would have know that Cavs would be playing for their first Eastern Conference Championship, trust me I would have never bought the ticket ahead of time.

There I was at the game, receiving text updates from friends during the first half and waiting for the last out so I could book it to the closest bar to watch game 6. Luckily for me the Pirates decided to win in record time and there was a shot clock malfunction that delayed the Cavaliers and Pistons. I ran to the nearest bar to catch the second half and see LeBron jump in Z's arms in celebration after they won.

So, this probably brings to questions to your mind. First, why are you still ready this blog? And second, what does all of this have to do with a widget? Is it a magic widget? Not really, but it did take me back to a great week of Cavaliers basketball. One that I will remember for the rest of my life. And as the current Cavaliers are in the midst of their playoff run, one that we all hope ends more memorable as the 2007 run, I wanted to hear from all of you. What are your favorite playoff memories? Where were you at when Damon Jones hit the game winning shot in game 6 against the Wizards? Who were you with when Cavs faced off against the Bulls in the early 90s? Where are you going to be during this year's run?

Either comment on this blog, send me a message or look my for my discussion topic on the forums (I made it easy for you to find...there is a link). Then we'll go from there and see what memories we make this season.

Oh yeah, here's the widget.
