Cavaliers, BCS, Google Sync

Well, the Cavaliers are now giving me tension during the games.

Like last night, I was really distraught at halftime, because they were only up by 8.

Then in the third quarter, I had trouble figuring out where I actually was, because apparently Coach Mike has finally switched to the, “The Puppies Lived, After All!” halftime speech.

Yeah – the third quarter. This was the quarter when the Cavs actually made the Rnaptors so frightened, they literally just fumbled the ball away every time down the court, instead of running plays.

Finally, again in the third quarter, I had a small panic attack, because I thought LeBron might actually have to play in the fourth quarter. Luckily, he didn’t.

The whole vibe of watching this team reminds me most of the ’95 Indians. Just fun to watch, both because they’re dominant, and the players look like they’re having fun.

Everything you read says the chemistry is off the chart with these guys, and it sure plays that way as a viewer.

Oh, and LeBron is pulling Karl Malone dunks, which is hilarious for a lot of reasons. Video is over at something called Hoops Heads North.

(All these new kids on the NBA Blog Scene – I feel like Allan Houston.)

So that’s nine straight wins by 12 or more, which no team in NBA history has ever done. I’d expect them to make it 10 tonight in Philly.

Since I know you’re dying to know what I think about both ghosts and the BCS, based on this email:

I’m dying to know! What do you think about the BCS? And ghosts!

For the latter, I don’t believe in them.

As to the former, I think the bowl system as a whole is stupid, and thought so even before the BCS. I can’t say I’ve ever gone out of my way to watch a bowl game, except for when Ohio State was in the fake championship games.

They’re just exhibitions – I don’t get why anybody cares whether they win them or not.

I don’t even know which one OSU is in this year, because it makes no difference at all what happens. Now, make all the bowls playoff games, and I’d probably watch all of them.

Anybody using Google Sync?

I’m really tempted, but:

1) I’m kinda fine with what I do now.
2) I tend to get stalked and/or hacked on occasion, so I really don’t like having my contacts online. I wipe them out regularly.

This is kinda like the checkout line itemology, though – I just want it because it’s there. Your input is appreciated if you have any.
