You really don't understand. IF Cleveland gets to the finals, they could be up 3 games to none with a 20 point lead going into the 4th quarter of game 4. I would not be confident they could win the series. Cleveland's last game of this season will be a loss. I don't care where or when.

You sound just like a Philly fan... Its really hard but when you get there (which you will) its just so great.

And I also eat a big slice of crow for saying Cavs will sweep and O-town has no shot.

Howard acts like a baby though. And I do agree a little with A-team that the refs root for the Cavs.

You know how many titles the city of PHiladelphia has won in my lifetime?? (5 I think??) infinitely more than Cleveland. My God, the Phillies themselves have 2 alone!! Philly fans have gone to Everrest the last 40 plus years multiple times. Don't compare any city's fans to Cleveland fans. It ain't the same.

Everyone just stop with the referee stuff...just stop. Please. So if the Cavs magically somehow beat the Magic and Lakers/Nuggets, I'm going to hear how it was only because David Stern handed it to them because LeBron needed to win the title. Stop it everyone, please.

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!!
