On Toughness

In the aftermath of the Cavs six game grindfest against the Chicago Bulls, one thing became abundantly clear to me about this current incarnation of the Cavaliers… these guys are anything but soft. In fact, they may actually be comprised entirely of Cleveland-forged, reinforced sheet metal, held together with rusty nails and covered in the shattered glass shards and detritus from the wreckage of their opponents. Not only does this team bear no resemblance to the sometimes marshmallow-like Cavs playoff teams of yesteryear, they don’t even remotely resemble the relatively soft and slow team they were at the start of the season, which now seems like eons ago.
