Cleveland Plain Dealer

• Terry Pluto tells Cavs fans to keep the faith.  In what other city is an article like that written about the best team in the league?  Only in Cleveland.
• Brian Windhorst reports that Mike Brown won The Sporting News Coach of the Year, voted on by coaches and executives.  He also won the official award voted on by the media, of course, but this one is voted on by his peers so I'm sure that means something to him.
• Mary Schmitt Boyer says the Magic are the toughest test the Cavs have faced yet in the playoffs (duh).  The article also mentions that the Cavs have been installed as 1-2 favorites to win the NBA Championship, followed by the Lakers at 9-5.
