The Cavs sat LeBron, Mo Williams, and Jamison and then Delonte West got ejected. Telfair may earn a ring this spring.
I think Orlando has a shot. The Lakers are always dangerous. You know it's funny, if they can get KMart back and healthy, I like the Nuggets. They're a good team.
Why do you like all three of those teams over the Cavs, the deepest team in the league with the best player?
The Cavs didn't make it out of the east last year. Orlando is probably the deepest team in the league if you really look at it.
I am really looking at it and I see the Cavs are 4 deep at the center position- Z, Varejao, Shaq, & Hickson. They have shooters in Parker, West, Gibson, and Williams. Championship experience from not only Shaq but Leon Powe. Jamario Moon athleticism. All Star Antawn Jamison. And oh yea, the best player in the league- LeBron. That's as deep as you get. If you really look at it.
morrison has a ring...i dont see whats stopping telfair. I cant belive our moron GM passed on/traded those guys. Fuck!
Cleveland has to prove they can win a grind-it-out half court playoff series vs a good defensive team. Their last 3 seasons have seen them lose in the finals vs the Spurs, the conference semis vs the Celtics, and the conference finals vs the Magic. They won 67 games last season before looking pretty average against Orlando. Why? The Magic made Lebron work for every shot, and nobody else stepped up. Mo Williams & Delonte West didn't shoot well, and Lebron (as good as he was in that series) couldn't carry them. I'm not sure we won't see a repeat this year. Lebron could average 35-40 for a series and they could lose if they don't get offense in the half court from another guy. Maybe it is Jamison? They need to establish another scoring threat besides James.
