Go Cavaliers!!!!!!!!!!
Cavs
Cavs in 6.
Only way Cavs don't win is if LeBron gets hurt.
that is tru son....I guess i should slow down and stop saying its Guarn-Sheed....PEACE
Cavs in 6
Cavs in 4.
Yep. I'm calling a sweep. I've seen nothing from Orlando this postseason that makes me think they'll handle the Cavs defense. Unless they catch fire, the series ends quick... it might go 5.
That's bold.
Cavs in 5. I just don't think the Magic can win in Cleveland and in order for the Magic to win the series they have to win at least one game in Cleveland
If Ben Wallace can be even a s of his former self, he has the strength to keep Howard out of the paint. Howard still needs to add strength to his lower body before he's a legit championship bigman foundation.
The Magic will probably win one game due to their three-point shooting but that's about it. The Cavs are damn good defensively and trying to defend LeBron with only one bigman (who can't afford to get into foul trouble) will prove to be impossible.
Cavs FINALLY get a challenge. It will be good for LeBron & Co.....to see how they hold up against good teams; how they respond when the chips are down.
If Orlando played as well as they did tonight, this should a good series.
I'm starting to believe in Magic......
Cavs in 5. I think the Magic are a worse match-up for LA, but home court would be great.
What I want: Cavs in 7
What I think will happen: Magic in 6
The Cavs haven't even used their fifth gear yet. What is LeBron averaging in MPG for the playoffs? 27? Less? They could have won almost every game by 30 if they wanted.
They play the best defense in the NBA and they have the most unstoppable player. I'm almost sure this series doesn't go past 5, worst-case for the Cavs.
i think Cleveland's in for a rude awakening this series. They may not lose, but they'll feel the heat before it's all said and done (a la LA-Rockets)
cavs in 5 more likely 6. i think people will be supirsed to see the cavs shooting lights out from 3, but at the end of the day the pick and roll and drive and kick wont work. it plays into the cavs hand.
magic in 6.
What the are you talking about?
You're offering completely different scenarios. The Lakers have come out in 40% of their playoff games looking like a team that feels the le should be handed to them. They felt the heat from the Rockets because they're ing LAZY on defense and don't know how to rotate properly, and they have no ability to contain quick point guards.
The Cavaliers have come out in every game not looking to win, but to absolutely lay waste to the opposition. They haven't asked questions or whined or tried to plea for the refs help. Every game (they've played one more all playoffs than the Lakers did in the last series, think about that) the moment they've stepped on the floor, they've been all business. They want to win and if you are in an opposing jersey, you are going to be crushed.
Yes, they've played some bad teams. But remember, the Hawks weren't completely awful (as in, probably as good as a crippled Rockets team), and the Cavs could have won by 25-30 every single night if they would have left their starters in. That's the kind of dominance we haven't seen since....
Since ever. No team has walked through the compe ion like these Cavs have. Even the 2000-01 Lakers had a few close games. Now, of course, the compe ion was undoubtedly better than what the Cavs have seen, but I'm willing to bet they're going to put the boot down on Orlando.
They MIGHT lose Game 1 due to being rusty, or Game 3 if the Magic get hot. Every other game in the series will be controlled by the Cavs for most of the way.
Chances are, they won't need to reach to guard Howard. Their defense is good enough that they won't have to compensate for Dwight's dominance. They'll just shut down the perimeter and let Dwight get his.
I seriously have to wonder what beating a broken down, exhausted team like the Celtics proved about Orlando's ability to run with the Cavs. They just went 7 games with the second most injured team in the playoffs, and looked atrocious at times doing it. What matchup on the floor other than Howard are the Magic going to be able to exploit? They have no one to go to for consistent scoring that the Cavs can't absolutely shut down. Anyone who gets hot, stick LeBron on him. Hedo won't even get a shot off with James in his face. Shard would (will) resort to fade-aways.
Cavs in 4. They're just too good.
I voted Cavs in 4--but 5 may be more likely. We'll see.
I'd like to see the Magic oust Cleveland, but I don't see it happening. Orlando has a good team, but the Cavs are just better.
Cavs in 5.
I just hope this is a good series.......'cause I don't think the WCF will be.......hate to disrespect or overlook the Nuggets but.......no exciting vibes on that one.
It will be important to keep Ilgauskas out of foul trouble
I know they gave them problems in the regular season, but the Magic just arent on the same level as the Cavs right now. Cavs are much more focused, have a true franchise player, and are clearly more motivated.
Cavs in 6.
Cavs in 5, but wouldn't be suprized to see a sweep
