Mark Cuban is happy; Phil Jackson begins a life which includes Christmas at home.

LeBron is apologetic and playing the world's smallest violin.

D. Rose and D. Wade are cautiously circling one another before going toe to toe.

Rondo is taking his elbow to rehab; Doc Rivers lost the playoffs and won a 5-year, $5.5 million (annually) contract.

And then there's Cleveland, the current weather a stark reminder of the recent sun-filled South Beach triumph. Witnesses no more, Cavs fans need a new hero.  At least until we can all remember and correctly spell all the baby Cavs' first and last names.  And who better to step into that breach than the infamous jersey-burning Jason Herron, better known as one-half of the Team Gilbert creators.

Refusing to give in to the Greek tragedy that is Cleveland basketball, Jason and Mike Potraffke are throwing an NBA Draft Lottery Party at the Lakewood Harry Buffalo, Tuesday, May 17th, from 7 pm to closing time.  Not just any draft party.  A party with a goal:

We are banding together once again to start the new era of the Cleveland Cavaliers. They have four picks in all and the chance to possibly have the No. 1 & 2 pick!

Live Trivia from 7-9. Win House Cash and FREE BEER!!!

There will be plenty of news channels and other special guests in attendance.

$3 Craft Pints

$5 Beef & $6 Bison Burgers

And, more importantly:

Free Hi-Fives!

Free Hugs!

Free Popcorn!

Free Parking!

I feel better already.
