Lebron's Homecoming

Well that was ugly. I know it was just this first game of the season, but that had to be so disappointing to the city of Cleveland. Lebron looked like he had never played with his teammates and he didn't want to upset them by playing like his usual self. He literally played like an average SF in the league that was just there to get occasional shots. It seemed as if the game plan was for him to play off his teammates rather than his teammates play off him. If the Cavs want to be serious championship contenders David Blatt is going to need to change his game plans.
This was a rare outing from Lebron and I expect a huge game from him tonight, but it wont be easy going to the revamped Chicago Bulls for their home opener and Derrick Rose back. Kyrie will have his hands full with Rose and vice versa.

Can't wait to watch ESPN @ 7:00 PM CT Cavs at Bulls

NFL Season Thoughts Week 8: NFC West

This has been one of the more bizarre NFL seasons in recent history. There has been all kinds of upsets and puzzling headlines. The most recent upset that knocked everyone off their rocker was the then 1-4 abysmal St. Louis Rams shocking the defending Super Bowl champions beating them 28-26. How this upset even happened, Pete Carroll is still trying to figure out. The Rams are playing without their #1 draft pick Sam Bradford, they have only won 1 game and are nowhere close to the caliber team as the Seahawks. The Seahawks on the other side haven't been doing so hot either losing 2 straight before losing to the Rams. BUT they (Seahwaks) are the only team to beat the arguably the best team in the league the Denver Broncos. Then you have the 49ers who were playing so well, get absolutely embarrassed on Sunday Night Football by the Denver Broncos. The NFC West is still very up-for-grabs because even though the AZ Cardinals are 5-1 I don't believe they can hold off the defending champs and the 49ers in the division.
