So your saying that Delonte will his improve his game to make up for the one point margin, lebron scores 49 every night, and they play every other game at home?

and what you are saying is that there is no possible way the Cav play better defense, like they have all season. Mo Williams returns to All Star form and the Magic don't frick up and do stupid shite like they have many times throughout the playoffs?

No, but when the TEAM plays better, Lebron doesn't have to do that much, and everything operates much more efficiently.

Except they havent played good defense against the magic during the season, and they will have room to frick up at home because they are the better team, but on the road they need to make less mistakes. Its not Hedo played to his playoff average tonight either (shot 4-11, but did get 10+ dimes)

I would also like to point out they were coming off a huge layoff where everyone agreed G1 was the best chance for the Magic to steal one at home.

When you have a big break you lose a bit of cohesion for a bit and mistakes happen. That will tighten up(or logically should) as the series progresses.

Other than Lebron, the Cavs were not out of the ordinary, a bunch of role players that falter when they face a defence.

Again looking at Mo Williams season it was out of character. Looking at Delonte West's season it was out of character.

Is it possible they don't shape up an lose? Of course.

However its also possible the Magics go back to doing retarded shite and the Cavs roll.

Looking at Mo William's playoffs it wasnt out of character, and delonte west wont be enough.

So 44% from the field = <33% Ok.

No his scoring hasn't been a ton higher, but if doesn't take those shots and they go to a another player who shoots it better it would have changed that game.

Again, 1 game after a huge layoff and it was a one point loss.

Mo Williams was shooting 44% from teh field in the playoffs, slightly below his average.

But I guess he'll continue to shoot 6/19 type games all series.

And Hedo shoots 4-11 all the time as well. You count count on courtney lee missing every three attempt. Stop with the excuses.

(and mo williams will hit tons of 3/4 court buzzerbeaters too)

The cavs are far from done.

But I hope Orlando can take it. I don't want t see the Lakers try to guard LeBron in the Finals.

Its not an excuse. I said in my first post they got outplayed.

The point is that Cavs have a ton of room to play better, and this was a game where you expect them to be sloppy and make mistakes(Which they did)

To be honest I've given your argument much more credit than it deserves if you are absolutely sure this means the Cavs are done, then Ok. However nothing in rational basketball says this.

My money is still on the Cavs in this series.

If the Lakers can recover from getting their @$$es whipped by the Rockets' practice squad in Games 4 & 6, then the Cavs can bounce back from a 1-point loss after a week-long layoff.

No because their D down low has been horrible in the playoffs and two regular season games don't mean they have the key to stopping him.

Fair enough. I'd almost be more worried about Dwight if I was the Lakers. After what Luis Scole did to Pau at times....

Howard will kill the Lakers, but i think Ariza and Odom have good matchups with Lewis and Turk. And the Lakers major weakness is guarding PGs, and Alston is one of the few Fish could probably guard.
