Get your brooms out, the Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Detroit Pistons in round one of the NBA playoffs. In just one week, Cavaliers Head Coach Tyrone Lue went from having zero playoff experience under his belt to taking out a guy he once played for, Stan Van Gundy, with four wins in four games. LeBron James said, "We definitely recognize it and understand that it's his first challenge, and he succeeded as well as any coach could, or if it was a player, as any player could in their first series. He physically, mentally and spiritually prepared us every single night and gave us a game plan, along with the coaching staff. We as players could execute that as close to 100 percent, then we had a good chance to win every game, which we did, because of the preparation of those guys- starting with Coach Lue, our captain-- put us in position to do."
The Cavaliers will play the winner of the Boston- Atlanta series, which is tied 2-2. The Cavs sweep was important, as it gives the players some rest as they prepare for their next opponent!
The Cavaliers are my favorite basketball team just like you Jessica, so it was awesome watching them and the way they handled Detroit in the first round. Atlanta is in for a tough time versus the Cavs in this series.
