They played their best ball the second half of the season. Look at their record over the last forty games.

They are live again and this year i think the winner comes out of the east.

Nelson has played really well but...

Vince Carter=Subtraction by addition

I think we are going to see a lot of Mr. Howard at the FT line. Shaq/Ilgaugkas/AV = 18 fouls between them

If he can make them early in the series it will be close. If he goes into a funk because he is missing or commits bad fouls like he did in the last game against Cha, orlando is in trouble. With him in the game James is a bit wary about going to the hoop. Without him in there it becomes a dunkfest.

Everyone thinks that the big Cleveland addition for the Orlando series was Shaq to matchup against Howard. While that is the marque matchup the addition of parker and moon, long athletic defenders to guard the perimeter may be the key move
