With another postseason series sitting at 3-0, this time the Cleveland Cavaliers down to the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA finals, it’s time for the trailing team and their fans to call upon the ghosts of the 2004 Red Sox for inspiration.

“The Boston Red Sox were down 3-0 to the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS before rallying to win that series. I guess if they can do it, we ought to have some faint glimmer of hope for the Cavs.”

Is it just me or does every time a series gets to this point, especially after the 19-8 whooping the Red Sox received in Game Three, further illuminate how incredible those four games were.

My advice to Cleveland fans, hope your team is down by five points heading into the last two minutes of the game only to see Lebron James win it with a three pointer and send the series to Game Four.  Like Dave Roberts’ steal and David Ortiz’ home run, a Lebron buzzer beater is the type of first step that could turn the tide.
