Witness

One dominating perfomance after another we became a witness to his majesty. The Cleveland Cavaliers who were supposed to lose to the Detroit Pistons a year ago in the Eastern Conference Semifinal delivered four straight wins to move on to the NBA finals. Though, their high rise to power was shortlived by pop and his gang but the mere fact that a player single-handedly crushed the mighty Pistons was quite astonishing to watch. We were a witness of something amazing.

Almost after a year the historic march to the finals happened, the young Cavs are in position to ride on the back of James as he deliver yet again another finals appearance. They are matched against a 66-win team out of Boston and they were involved in a mid season trade that shook up their entire line up. Yet again, there is James. King James as we call him. James, an MVP candidate, live to this moment. After all the hype and the much anticipated battle between the best defensive team and the team with the best individual player, it sure didn't disappoint us. A thrilling four point win by the Boston Celtics at home. Within this low scoring game, we witnessed once again something amazing. A 2-18 field goal performance to go with 10 turnovers by the supposed best player of the game. James, faltered this time. No more showing up. No more ecstatic dunks. No more fadaway three point shots. Nothing left to witness.
