the Cavs have had a truly dominant season, but come on people, it's not like they are unbeatable.
the best way to beat the Cavs is to have consistent dominant play at center (defensively speaking, and getting rebounds - can't let LBJ control that) and to have a good night concerning your shots. because of these two factors - I think that the Magic would pose a bigger threat to the NBA's beloved Cavaliers, this year, in the East.
the Lakers are really sputtering, but Houston is finding themselves offensively. instead of just feeding Yoa Ming the ball every play, and instead of Yoa and the person who is guarding him blocking the lane when a Houston Rocket is trying to penetrate - the Rockets are rotating the ball and playing good offense. Shane Battier can hit the shots, along with Scola and Artest.
also, Aaron Brooks is providing to be a good leader. and he also looks damn respectable rocking the bow-tie.
what a treat! we get to watch Boston/Orlando and LA/Houston in two Game 7 matchups.
this is one of the best NBA basketball postseasons because the guard seem to be switching from some major franchises. where are the Chancey Billups-less Pistons and the aging, injured San Antonio Spurs?
as much as the LA Lakers are proven winners, NBA playoffs is a game where momentum is the ultimate monkey. you have to give that to the Denver Nuggets and the Cleveland Cavaliers, so far and so balls deep in the post-season.
I will always love this game.
