Wow, Orlando plays LA and we stll need to get a Cleveland cheap shot in...awesome.
Listen....Cleveland is what they were...they pounded the bad teams a hair better than the other of the "big 4". They went 3-6 in the season against Orlando, LA and Boston. They played best against Boston. LA beat them regular season worse than Orlando. Ignore the 66 wins...Orlando was a better team than Cleveland and so was LA. Cleveland would have had as much success against LA as they did against Orlando. Orlando's luck ran out. Just like the series before when they were up against Cleve 3-1 they could have just as easily been down that series 3-1. They weren't...the better team won. This series they could have been up 3-1 against LA but they weren't. Against Cleveland, they won 2 of the 3 buzzer games. This series they lost both buzzer games. The better team won. The best team in the league won the title as it did last year and the year before.
The facts remain, Cleveland played fine. They played a better team and were possibly a couple Rashard Lewis threes with under 10 seconds left from winning the series. As I say it still says Cleveland on their jerseys. Against LA, Lee misses a wide open layup to win a game. Howard and Turk miss every free throw in the 4th against LA. Howard in the 4th NEVER missed both against Clev...he simply did against LA.
