Shield your eyes, Cavs fans, LeBron James and the Miami Heat are going to the NBA Finals. After finishing off Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls with a stunning Game 5 comeback, James is one step closer to his first ring. The Dallas Mavericks advanced to the Finals earlier this week by defeating Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder in 5 games. Game one of the series is scheduled for Tuesday, May 31st at 9 PM in Miami on ABC

I know most of us just want to focus on the Cavs' off-season and block out the playoffs. Unfortunately, Miami is bulldozing their way through the postseason and only Dallas stands in their way of an NBA title. I wish I could just ignore the Finals, but I simply love basketball too much. 

This isn't going to be fun for any Cavs fans. Our hopes of denying LeBron his first championship rest on the strong shoulders of a 7-foot tall sharpshooter named Dirk Nowitzki. Better start brushing up on our German, huh?
