Sayings become cliches because they are true, they are simple obvious statements of facts that are repeated so often that they become omni-present. Here is one you are surely familiar with "To Be The Man You Have Got To Beat The Man!" Friday night at the "New Garden" the Boston Celtics showed the Cleveland Cavaliers that any NBA title hopes will pass through Boston as the "Green Team" defeated the Cavaliers 105-94.

The victory puts the two opponents in a virtual dead heat atop the Eastern Conference, with Cleveland leading by percentage points.
