In Praise of Dan Gilbert.

Dan Gilbert and Koby Altman have done it again.

Just when you thought the Cavs were going to go into that quiet night and put an end to a challenging
season they pull off a move that once again puts the Cavs in a position to get back into the playoffs-

If anything I went out of my way to make sure that never was the case which probably did her a disservice in the end. As I was writing the blog last week for the first time I just stepped back and took a look at her career taking dad out of the equation.
