Maybe it's a "the grass is always greener" thing with us in Cleveland, because where we sit the Celtics look like a well-oiled machine, even though we beat them 3 out of 4 times this season. As "everybody" knows, the regular season doesn't mean much. Maybe the Celtics look 10 feet tall because we here don't see them every day. And, really, the national media talks about them far more than they do the Cavs. The team slogan this season is "let 'em know," which I assume means that we think we don't get the level of attention from the national media that we should.

I mean, it's not really a big deal either way, but in today's NBA where it's usually "all about me" and "respect" and whatever other blah-blah-blah, it's nice to see a guy showing some classy behavior.

I don't mind a bit of good-natured trash talking. What I really, really, really don't like is the vulgar, angry or threatening kind, insulting someone's wife and kids, etc. And I hate it when somebody screams the f-word so loud you can clearly hear it on the TV broadcast.
