Great piece, Clint. CJ is obviously one of my all time faves and we (my family and I - much like yourselves) will be fans of his for life. I've watched more Cavs games than any other team this year, besides our Jazz obviously, and it's been great to see him playing well. Hope he plays well against us tomorrow in a losing effort.
@RohitGhosh Thanks! Games and nights like these make recapping the game so much more enjoyable. Doesn't get better than beating LA at Staples.

I'm mad. At the refs. At the Jazz for the turnovers and carelessness down the stretch. At Jamal Crawford for missing two wide open threes before hitting one as the shot clock expired while falling out of bounds. Just wasn't meant to be tonight. *sigh*
While I feel like saying you are ok with a loss doesn't look great, I also don't take it as "he doesn't care." You articulated the point well, Dan. I dig this take.
Ian, your Twitter shout out (and subsequent uptick in popularity) is forthcoming. You're welcome. Haha
Don't get me wrong, I am stoked the Jazz won. But I couldn't help but notice the similarities in this home to the last home win vs Sacramento. Oddly enough, that game had such a negative connotation associated with it, and many felt like it hardly felt like a win. Well,then, why does last night feel so great? If anything, I felt we had a lil home cookin' from the officials last night that aided the comeback. Not entirely, but helped. I do give credit to the team for upping the defensive energy in the 2nd half. Just an observation though. If last night was so fantastic, why wasn't Friday? Level of competition the sole factor?
