well, miracles happen I guess! Look at my first post on the NBA playoffs. I stated unequivacally that the Garnett injury was the absolute worst thing to happen to the Cavs as this would allow the Magic to beat the Celtics (of course the Garnett injury was worse for the Celtics!!)...which is why I went with a Magic/Lakers final. The Magic counting last night have won 9 of the last 12 meetings with Cleveland. That doesn't happen by accident. There is just a matchup issue for Cleveland with them. I actually didn't pick the Magic because of the Cleveland never wins thing...I watched two of the three games they played this year. The Magic mauled them the two I saw, and the third in Cleveland was tight the whole way and Cleveland pulled it out late...similar to last night but Orlando pulled it out. Orlando has arguably outplayed them 4 of 4 games this year and as I said won 9 of the last 12 between the two. That is enough of a sample for me to say Cleveland has some issues with that team. The Cleveland never wins thing doesn't mean a thing in today's matchups, it just adds to the story for me personally!!
