Oh no, there's no way that the Cavs could give anyone trouble in the playoffs. People have already written the Cavs off. Heck there were several ESPN folks who didn't think we'd make the playoffs.

Gotta love the fact that the Cavs won with LeBron playing subpar and Gibson not shooting well.

Well those guys aren't paying any attention to the Cavs basketball organization except for highlight dunks by LeBron.. That frontline of yours is amazing. I'd trade our Eddy Curry/Randolph for it 1000 times out of 10.

Oh and Varejao didn't play all that well either. That's 60% of our closing group playing below their ability and the Cavs still take the win.

Lots of disrespect in here, but good game. You guys wanted it more than everyone on Miami except DW.

We still have 3 games against them as well. We've got them right where we want them.


That stretch where LeBron was out might be our undoing, thats almost entirely the difference in the standings. Give or take a few games because we were playing well before he got hurt. I'm really staring at this upcoming Wizards game. I have a funny feeling these Wizards with or without Arenas are going to see us yet again in round 1. I want homecourt against them.

If the season ended today we'd be playing the Wiz once again in the first round. I'm getting tired of playing them in the playoffs personally.

Wade outscores LeBron James 42-28, and the Heat still loses by seven which means LeBron has the better supporting cast.

So one game really makes that determination? But I will concede that the Cavs have a better team than the Heat. The real reason that the Heat lost is because they really don't have any interior defense, no outside shooting and no interior scoring. My thinking is that the Heat need more than 9 pts from their PF and more than 10 from their pg's.

What's funny to me is that both Sasha and Hughes shot 50% or above which has got to be a first for the season. Those guys were shooting 332 and 339 respectively.

What does that matter ? Wade has had a better Cast every other year .. not to mention the Cavs won .. LeBron was not that off .. its not always about who outscores who ... Amazing performance by wade in the 4th I Agree btw .. but it seemed nothing more than just stat padding

...

And you couldn't deduce that from Miami's 14-game losing streak? :roll:

Everyone, Stop with the praise already. The Heat are a bad team right now.

They have no defense with Zo out. They only win if they shoot over 55%.

Without Wade they resemble the Cavs the year before Bron. Remember that squad? Rick Davis is a common thread.

Gotta love Ricky, he makes every team he plays for automatically worse. It's interesting since you look at his talent and just figure he'd be a great addition.
