Team of the Year
There is so much much to talk about regarding the 2008-2009 NBA season that we have to do it two parts. In this Episdoe we will only recap the Teams and in the next part we will focus on the players.
When we look back at the 2008-2009 we will remember the Champion Los Angeles Lakers. Most of us will forget about second place. At Ssports Radio, we will focus on the other teams and and even loosers. We will cover the following: Biggest Loosers and Winners, The Biggest Blowout of the Year and The Cleveland Cavaliers.

BEATDOWN OF THE YEAR
Who would expect the Beatdown of the year would occur during the playoffs against one of the best PG in league who was also the MVP runner up the following year. http://www.sportsfangoods.com/nuggets-annihilate-hornets-121-63-biggest-blowout-in-playoff-history/. In this game The Nuggest took a Half time lead of 61-39. With a lead like that you would think the Hornets would have came out after half-time with avenges. They only scored 11 points in the third quarter. Chris Paul was shout down and the final score was 12- to 63.
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
The Cavs finished the season wiht 66 wins and Labron won his first MVP award. He sort of earned his spot to the Hall of Fame and the Kobe and Labron comparisons began. Some even began to start comparing him to Kobe. They cruised through the playoffs by winning the first two series before facing Orlando in the Eastern Conference Championship where they were embarrassed and a storied season was erased. The Cav organization is now in panic control making rash decsions to make them a NBA champion next year. Listen to my show and find out why I feel they are over reacting and will mess up a good thing.....
