"They said it couldn't be done without LeBron. They said 'Jamario Moon can't lead a team to the playoffs. Now they know better.'" Cavs forward Jamario Moon said.
"Well, actually, they didn't quite say that. They have no clue who I am. And I don't even know who they are, because no one comes to these games anymore," Moon added.
Cleveland's locker room celebrated the event with warm bottles of Miller High Life that were leftover from the ill-advised "LeBron Is Back" party guard Mo Williams hosted on the evening LeBron James took his talent to South Beach and signed with the Miami Heat. Not all participants were enthusiastic at achieving the playoffs, however.
"There's no two ways around it, we've made it as hard for ourselves as we can," Coach Byron Scott said, "we're going to have to play the entire Eastern Conference playoffs on the road. I'm pretty sure the first round games are going to be in Outer Mongolia to try to increase our footprint in Asia. But just think about the real sports where not every team makes the playoffs. If we were in one of those, we'd be screwed."
"Our chances aren't good, but we're not giving up. This season is about more than 82 games that have virtually no importance on the outcome of the season. Hey, when LeBron was here, we used to win those games all the time. They didn't mean a thing. We're just starting to hit our stride," guard Daniel Gibson said.
The Cavaliers received additional bad news on Wednesday when the already injury-ravaged team learned that, during his rehab from a season-ending ankle injury, forward Anderson Varejao was diagnosed with acute hair cancer.
