It's Great to be King


LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers clinch the #1 seed and home court throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs tonight with a 102-92 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. It has not always been a good thing lately to be the #1 seed. We'll hope to rewrite history though because five of the last six No. 1 seeds have gone down in the conference finals. The King had 27 points and 10 assists. Mo Williams and Wally Szczerbiak both put in 18 points. "It means a lot," James said. "To set a goal and accomplish it, we should be proud." No team has played better at their home arena this season than the Cavs. They're 38-1 at Quicken Loans Arena, with the only loss coming against the Los Angeles Lakers. Cleveland (64-15) entered with a half-game lead over the Lakers for the best record in the league. The Cavaliers have two home games remaining and if they win both they will tie the 1985-86 Boston Celtics for the best single season home record in NBA league history.
