    Orlando reminds me of the '07 Cavs for these reasons:

    -1st time to the big dance

    -Upset the established Eastern Conference Contender

    -One dominant star

    -Lack of cohesion as a team and a coaching staff

    -being blatantly outclassed by a superior/veteran opponent

    -having a wide-eyed/scared presence on the court

    Just some observations that look like they are going to shape the iden y of this series.

    +1 Funny, I just thought that very same thing a minute ago.

    This Finals might be as boring as 2007, too.

    Their celebration on Saturday reminded me a lot of our celebration after the Cavaliers eliminated the Pistons. We got so caught up in the moment that everyone kinda forgot there was another series to be played. That's not why the Cavaliers lost, but there was a definite hangover from beating Detroit. I think they're kind of in the same situation.

    The 2007 Cavs are worse. Cmon the Pistons were ECF chokers so it's no surprise Cleveland won. The previous year Cleveland almost beat Detroit in the second round. Back to 2007, the Cavs challenged a injured Wizards team and the Nets in the East.

    Orlando has taken out the defending champs (still good without KG.) And they took out the Cavs, who were favorites of the East.

    Orlando will lose the series, but I don't see a sweep.

    Take those series with a grain of salt. Boston beats Orlando fairly easily with KG and Powe in the lineup. And the Magic match up so perfectly against the Cavaliers it was almost as if they were designed specifically to beat them.

    , if Orlando had played Detroit in the first round, they might have lost.

    People said Cavs would lose to them.

    if the cavs were in the finals, the last 4 observations would most likely apply to this year's squad as well.

    If you think that defeating the Cavs were nothing, go ahead.

    So by trying to incorporate Jameer Nelson back to the game was a sign of incohesiveness and Stan Van Gundy and his staff just sucks just like Mike Brown, go ahead.
