Cavs - Celts

What is up with these Cavs? I thought the beatdown they issued in Game 3 was going to restore the universe to its natural balance. With King James proving to be mere mortal -- at least when his hand is forced -- they look lost. They have nobody willing or able to step up if Lebron has an off game. His woeful display in Game 5 proves the greatness of MJ. Can we stop the comparisons, please?

If Ray Allen continues to feast on this slow, er..um..I mean, vaunted defense, look for LBJ to be speaking as to why he is unhappy with his Knicks' play when the Celts or Magic bounce them out in the first round next year.

I'm not counting the Cavs out. They showed in Game 3 that when they bring their "A" game, they can be formidable. They have plenty of playoff experience. But James will need to have two superb games. He will have to live up to the "next MJ" hype. He will need to will his team to wins. Can Jamison toss in a point or two?

Boston forced its will on the Cavs in game 5. This game was over when Bron-Bron started looking up at the score board in the middle of the third quarter. No, LBJ, the "great scoreboard in the sky" is not gonna put the ball in the hoop. Or prevent Pierce from getting all up in your jersey. Or stop the double teams. Or give you consistent, legitimate three point threats to space the floor. It's up to you.
