Maybe the Cavs will wear Nets jerseys lol
The Warriors were 26-35 and rallied to make the playoffs at 42-40. They pulled off a mid-season trade that brought in a major talent infusion in Jackson/Harrington for two white boys. They went something like 15-3 down the stretch in the regular season with their new core in place. And while it's true that Nelson is in Colonel Kurtz mode these days, he did a fantastic coaching job that season. None of that excuses Dallas ting the bed, but I dispute your suggestion that these Cats are greatly superior to those Warriors.
No disagreement there.I'll give you that Mike Brown's almost as bad as Avery Johnson, though.

Most of the talk when it comes to these two teams is about Captain Jack and Gerald Wallace (rightfully so) and Raymond Felton has given the Cavaliers fits ever since he came into the league. But Boris Diaw has been a MAJOR factor in these last three games, getting the ball mid-post and either getting to the cup off the bounce or finding teammates. He had 9 assists last night. Right now we just don't seem to have an answer for him.
EDIT- Check that, Diaw didn't really do much in the first two games Charlotte won over the Cavaliers. He certainly killed it last night though.
If these teams meet again in the playoffs the Cavaliers maybe should go small up front (Hickson/Varejao or Jamison/Varejao) and big on the wings (West/LeBron/Moon.)
I really don't think Mike Brown is as much of a buffoon as he's made out to be. But he can't hang with Larry Brown, that's a given.No disagreement there.

A Cavs/Cats ECF would be pretty cool, and not outside the realm of possibility the way things look right now.
the only issue will the cats are playing too well they are moving up on the pathetic east. wont be an 8th seed
It would definitely be interesting to see what the ref situation would be like if the Cavs end up facing the Bobcats. The thought of the Bobcats advancing over the Cavs probably keeps Stern up at night.
Know how many total free throws LeBron shot in the previous two losses to Charlotte before last night? Six. Cleveland shot 13 free throws in the home loss to the Bobcats in early January.
I find it amusing that people think David Stern will do anything to assist the Cavaliers in the playoffs. If anything he'll want to see them knocked out early, because it theoretically increases LeBron's chances of decamping to a major market.
That theory has been debunked. Lebron is leaving Cleveland whether he wins (he wont) or not this year.
Oh and please. Watch the Nuggets game again and witness the refs/timekeeper literally handing Lebron multiple opportunities to play hero.
There's about a 98 percent chance he's staying at this point. If he wanted to leave so badly he'd have left after his rookie contract expired in 2006. He's going to re-sign in Cleveland in July. Sorry.
As for the clock at the end of the Denver game, well, I suppose you've never heard of hometown timekeepers, huh? Atlanta's timekeepers are notorious for ing around on behalf of their team. I guess that means David Stern wants the Hawks to win the le, right?
If Cleveland fails to win the le, I think it's 75/25 he stays. If they win it all this year, he's guaranteed to return.
I hope someone beats the Cavs in the first round, anyone, but if there was a team that I could choose I would pick the Knicks. They are only 6 or 7 games out of the first round and what better way to get the Second Round Virgin his first taste of playoff success?
I am really rooting for T Mac over there. Hopefully he brings New York the veteran leadership to make a run for the playoffs.
Not getting my hopes up, but you know it would be a nice surprise.
