Going to be a hard way to win the Championship.

No team has ever come back from being down 3 games to win.
It's on Golden State's home court.
Golden State has only lost 4 times at home, 3 regular season and once last playoff game there to Cleveland.

I'm a 5'9"44 year old stocky white guy, and if it weren't for Lebron James being from NE Ohio playing for the Cavaliers I really could care less. But he got me into watching and I want Cleveland to have a championship. Last time was 1964, the Browns won the AFL championship game.

Cleveland sports has The Drive (AFC championship game, Broncos went down the field and scored inside the 2 minute warning), Red Right 88 (running play on the goal line fumbled and lost), The Shot (Jordan wide open in the corner against the Cavs Mark Price in '93?), The Meltdown (Cleveland Indians' Jose Mesa unable to throw strikes at the end of game 6 of the world series, CLE had won 3 out of 7), and the there was The Decision (James' hour long ESPN special live broadcast where he announced after 50 self important minutes "I'm taking my talents to South Beach" so he could win a championship and start a dynasty with his Olympic teammates Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh- they'd worked that out ahead of time, and Lebron threw the last playoff game with Cleveland. Of course he made it right, decided to come back, forgo a salary above league minimum with a percentage of the team, so it's in his best interest if they win).

Cavs win!! CAVS WIN!!

Had it on but wasn't really paying attention to most of the first half, seemed to go back and forth, but started watching the second half and really started watching exclusively the last quarter. Was really worried we'd snatch defeat from the jaws of victory Cleveland style, but WE WON!!!

First national championship for Cleveland since 1964.

First championship for the Cavs.
First time ever a team has been down 3 wins and come back to win a best of 7 series.

Woo Hoo!

Now all we need is for the Indians to win a series, and the Browns to win a super bowl. I'll settle for respectability with the Browns, an end to the quarterback controversy, and the "one player away from greatness, fire the coach and head office and rebuild every few years", and the "next year is the one for us" attitude that has pervaded Cleveland sports for as long as I can remember.

The NBA commissioner said "curse is over", first championship in 52 years, Dan Gilbert, class act.
