DIRK WOKE UP! 
Update:
And Steve Kerr sums it up nicely:
This has been one of the most emotionally draining series that I can remember. I’m exhausted after watching the games, and I don’t even care who wins! If you’re a fan of either club, you have to be seriously emotionally spent.
I thought I would sleep better last night but I still woke up several times with thoughts of Dirk and Mavs on the dreamwaves. But it’s better than nightmares…
Our consecutive 3-pointer streak continues with Maurice Ager hitting two in the last 90 seconds of regulation. We were able to do it last year with Diop’s three in the closing minutes against the Clippers.
I was disappointed to hear that the appeal for internet radio stations to bypass royalties on copyrights was denied today. I love my DI and Sky. I’ve supported them in the past but this sucks. Anyone remember soma.fm? They went “off-air” the first time the ruling passed and was able to make it back on the internet airwaves, but this might be the final blow. I hate how much weight big companies can throw around through their advocacy and lobby groups. Internet radio is good stuff. Forget clearchannel.
At 50-9, we’ve now clinched a playoff spot with 21 games remaining in the regular season. Wow!
Next time I’m in Germany, I’m gonna wear a #41 jersey. Too bad most of them over there don’t even care…
Cleveland Coach Mike Brown:
You can see it on the court. You can see how night in and night out they just find a way to win. Offensively they find a way to win; defensively they find a way to win. Even if it doesn’t go right they cover for each other and they get it done. You can see it in their faces, that they believe in it, they believe in it all the time and they expect to win. You can see it on Avery’s face that this team has that will. They’re a bunch of good guys that know what it takes to win a ball game. You can feel it. You can feel it from afar.
The poise that he has, the leadership that he has, you can see it during the course of ball games. They’re in a tight situation and you can tell from the look on his face that he wants to get stops. When you look at his highlights it’s about getting stops first and then offensively if something doesn’t go right he may or may not mention that, but he knows this game is won or lost on the defensive end of the floor. Offensively they’re talented enough that they share the ball, they move bodies, they set screens for one another, and they’re going to score points.
