Cavs down by 40+ during the game, there will be a lot of teams studying that game film.

I don't think the Cavs are going to fold and lose East top seed, but any thought that they're invicible sure disappeared last night.

That is, if Cleveland doesn't go down to San Antonio tomorrow. I don't think Cleveland will lose, though. However, I'm tempted to watch the game in hopes that they do.

^Has there been a more fun team to root against (besides the Lakers, of course) than the Cavs this season? Not in recent memory!
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

Nope, Lakers and Cavaliers are the two worst nemeses not named David Stern. :D

^Good call, I neglected to mention Stern! :lol:

Him being booed mercilessly by the Boston crowd after we won the title last year was so sweet...

I don't know why I thought that the Spurs could even beat the Cavaliers. Ugh. It wasn't even a game...

No it was not...and it also lends proof to my belief that I've held since mid-season that the only West team with a shot at the title is LA...otherwise it will either be Boston or Cleveland that wins it all...

Admittedly, I'm not a San Antonio fan. I'm a longtime Duncan and Finley fan, though. But, the Spurs are simply an average team. I mean gone are their defensive prowess and depth on the bench. And why isn't Bowen playing anymore? I was thinking he could be guarding LeBron yesterday. The only threats to the Lakers are Houston, Denver, Portland and maybe Utah and New Orleans. I still think the Spurs are capable of giving the Lakers a long series due to their experience in the playoffs. However, the Spurs are fading as a contending team and Duncan doesn't seem the same this season. It's Parker's team now. Conversely, the only threats to Cleveland are Boston and maybe Orlando.
