Hey CavFanatics!
Two rounds down and two to go until we achieve our "ONE GOAL" of becoming the 2008-2009 NBA Champions! I can't believe how effortlessly we swept Detroit and Atlanta. We are the only team this season to sweep their opponent during the first two rounds, and that says a lot! I know we'll continue to pick up wins as we progress further into the playoffs. Even though this is one of the most exciting parts of the season, it flies by so quickly, so make sure you cherish every second of it. Everything everyone has worked so hard for is paying off, and that is evident by our performance during Rounds 1 and 2. From the Cavalier players to our fans, everyone has given 110% on and off the court. This proves that we not only have the best basketball team in the NBA, but we also have the best fans in the NBA. The Fan Fests prior to our home games and our watch parties are surreal! There is so much excitement and support behind our team that I know it will continue with us on our path of attaining the 2008-2009 Championship!
This is my second season as a Cavalier Girl, and I absolutely love it. The women I dance with are among the most talented, intelligent, and amazing people I've encountered. In addition to my teammates, we have a wonderful coach, Jami Taylor. Jami puts her heart and soul into everything she does, and her extreme dedication to the Cavalier Girls, Scream Team, and Cavs Kids rubs off onto everyone around her. We have grown as better dancers and a closer team because of her. I know it may sound corny, but we are a family! We have our ups and downs like any normal family, but we always pull through it, and it makes us that much stronger. In addition to superb teammates and a great coach, we also have the best trainers around. Our trainers, John Henry and Paul of Mind and Body Fitness, get us in optimal shape. We began working out with them in early July, and they have completely transformed our bodies. They were able to change my views on working out, and because of them I love strength training. We get all the cardio we need at practices, but we weight train with them three times a week. Because of everything they've taught us, I will always weight train. It's just not a fad for the season; it will last throughout my lifetime. Needless to say, I'm extremely blessed to have all of these people in my life. All of these individuals have made this season exceptionally memorable for me! I have the perfect support system within my team, coach, and trainers. There is nothing I would change and I couldn't ask for anything better.
I also want to thank all of you Cavs fans for making this an unforgettable season! Your uncanny support for the team and us cannot be paralleled. You make cheering and dancing at the games so much fun! The enthusiasm and energy you bring has electrified this city and will take us all the way to the championship game; with such a strong foundation to stand on, we are sure to win! Cavs fans, the support and faith you have for the organization is recognized by all and we truly thank you for that. I feel extremely privileged to dance for the best team and fans in the NBA.
As the Cavalier Girls always say, "Learn About It". This goes for everyone who didn't and still does not believe! It's our year fans, GET PUMPED!! See you in the Eastern Conference Finals!
Love ya,
Toni



Great blog Toni! Thanks again for signing my banner this past watch party. It's going to be an awesome momento once we win the 'ship! I like that, "learn about it!", haha, I might have to steal that from you on the forums.
