This game will definitely make this series the first one in the second round to meet an end, regardless of the result of the game between Mavs and nuggets. After all the Cavs game are going to be played in the east so it's rational to get finished ealier, and I don't think the Hawks can fly to a couple of over times.

The Hawks have lost all the 3 games in this series, by an average gap of over 20 points, which means the Cavs outscored the Hawks by over 60 pionts totally in this series.

Although the Magic and Celtics are very likely to drop into a seven game swamp, the Cavs still don't want to underestimate either of them. To end this series as soon as possible, the Cavs will still open up their fires to clinch the game 4, then they just need to wait enjoyably in the ECF for the survivor of a bloody battle.

Even so, the Cavs still need to keep their nerves 100% tight for their opponent in the ECF. Although the Cavs have developed a lot than last season, their caution should never been loosened on the team that beat them last season in the second round.

The Cavs have embellished themselves with a terrific fire on the back court, which helped Lebron get his team the best records in the regular season, but their re-decorated Cavs haven't ever come across a real contest like one against Celtics. Now the Cavs are 7-0, and very likely to go 8-0 by tonight, but it's still far from enough to prove their dominance in the Playoffs.

In the first round, the Cavs beat the Pistons whose marrow had already been soaked up by the Nuggets since the beginning of regular season. The Hawks just beat the Cheat in game seven, so it also doesn't mean anything to beat such a team. Either Magic or Celtics will inarguably a pressing opponent for Lebron and his servants, especially the Celtics. Celtics have been playing decent games in this playoffs, just like they did last season, and this team will turn even tougher for Cavs after KG returns. Superman is actually a superman in paint that neither Z nor Ben is able to stop, so the Magic is also not a little dish for King James.

The only advantage Cavs have over their two opponents is just a couple more resting days, of course their home court advantage will also give them a big help once it's needed. Anyway, the first job the Cavs need to do is to slaugher and dissect the Hawks in game 4 and parade into the ECF with the ticket they get from the stomach of the Hawks.

Prediction: Cavs 103 - 89 Hawks

Believe.
