2007-2008
 Ciego de Avila win the LSB 2008. Ciego de Avila is the Queen of Cuba
CIEGO DE AVILA is the Queen of
Cuba!!!
'Los Avilenos' won the last game against Capitalinos and they are the 'champions
of Cuba' for the fourth consecutive time.
Ciego de Avila won 77-64 against Capitalinos. It was one of the most exciting
games in the LSB History. It was not a beautiful game. There was too much
pressure. The teams played only with 'garra' and heart and with a bad
percentage, but it was a 'real game', with a lot of intensity and hard contact.
Geoffrey Silvestre was 'The Man', 'El Gato' played a 'partidazo.' He was for
the whole game unstoppable. He is the MVP of these LSB Finals 2008. Ciego de
Avila wins another 'Cuban Championship' thanks to him and
Michael Guerra 'the head of the team'. Ciego de Avila is an expert team,
They are used to winning and even if they started 0-2 in these Finals, they
could come back into the series and win deservedly. There is no team in Cuba
nowadays that can contrast two strong players as Silvestre and Guerra if they
are 'on fire'.
Capitalinos was really near to stopping the 'Ciego de Avila's hegemony', The
team of La Habana is a young team and in the future they can really strive for a
title and become Champions of Cuba, but now is a Ciego de Avila-time, as always,
the Queen of Cuba.
