A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
Greek fans packed into Quicken Loans Arena, last night, in support of their beloved Olympiakos Piraeus Basketball Team (who traveled to America for a two game stand, first playing the San Antonio Spurs, then the Cleveland Cavaliers).
Although the Cavs continued their 3-0 winning streak, and beat the Olympiacos 111-94, the loss didn’t dampen the passionate spirit of the Greek fans.
Welcome to a new feature on MSF: Devon’s Weekly NBA Power Rankings.
I will be posting once a week (every Monday) MSF’s version of the NBA Power Rankings. Not only will I be posting the rankings for viewers like yourself to view, but you will be able to comment and give me any input you would like.
So, I would like to introduce to you my first power rankings as we head into the 2009-10 NBA Season:
The Cleveland Cavaliers traveled to North Carolina to beat the Bobcats, 102-96, in their second Preseason matchup. The game was not televised, but it was still evident by the loud applause that echoed threw the radio airwaves – the Shaq and LeBron Show was well received on the road.
Cavs Play-By-Play Announcer Fred McLeod, standing in for Joe Tait on WTAM 1100 AM, said that the near capacity crowd was a rarity for a Bobcat game.
Excitement rocked Quicken Loans Arena, as a nearly sold out crowd of Championship hungry fans came out to “Witness” the beginning of the Cavs XL (40th) Season.
None were disappointed, as they caught a preview of the new Cavs Opening, broadcast in High Definition on the Q-Tube Jumbatron. And fans danced and sang along as they listened to Jay Z’s “D.O.A. (Death Of Autotune)” Rap, which the Cavs adopted as their new 2009-2010 Theme Song.
