There you have it.  The Celtics cannot win in Cleveland.  In last year’s Eastern Conference Finals, the Cav’s forced the Celtics to a 7th playoff game simply because the Celtics couldnt win away from Boston.  Lebron took over that playoff matchup when they were in Cleveland, but also couldnt lead his team to win in away from home.

Last night’s matchup between Boston and the Cavs was the first since the season opening game in October.  That victory win against Boston brought Lebron and the Cavs to an oustanding 19 home game wins. 

Lebron finished the game with 38 points while the Boston’s big 3 combined to 41 points.  The Cav’s retro jerseys are kinda funky.  I remember last year’s to be green.  I think they’re trying to copy the Warriors colors.

I’m highly anticipating the Ravens vs. Titans clash this Saturday.  Both of these teams are known for their tight defense. 

The Raven’s linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed are two very physical guys who understand smart defense and will give Kerry Collins and the Titan’s Offense a difficult time to score.  Ed Reed tore Miami apart last weekend with 2 picks and a return TD.  Both of these playesr have been a huge contribution to Baltimore still leading the league in turnovers and interceptions, and 6 returns for touchdowns.  

I expect this game to be low-scoring and close.  I vote for Baltimore to take this game.

After a ridiculous 19 winning streak, Boston comes home to lose to the Rockets without Tmac - making it the 6th loss of the last 8 games. 

Is it just me or does it seem like they’re defensively and emotionally flat?  Seeing them beat the Lakers last season was a savored moment for many Laker haters.  For this season, out of every NBA team, I feel like Boston was the only team capable of taking down LA again this season…until theyre poor performanace on Christmas.  I’d like to see how they perform against the other dominat team of the East on Friday - The Cavaliers who are one less win in the record than Boston.

Wow, ESPN is kicking off the year with a new layout and new design!  I was so confused at first because I thought I went to the wrong site.

Looking good on first glance.  As long as all the articles and scores are still there, I’ll be happy.

Brian wants to see if Peyton Manning can pull out some more magic.  I am also trying to test out the auto post Twitter feature from this new plug in.  Looks good so far!
