Doesn't matter if its by 1 point or by 15- it still counts the same as a win.

sure, it's a win....but cleveland really didn't have one game that gave them any reason to believe they're likely to win this. meanwhile, orlando, the team with nothing to lose, knows they've got the cavs' number

... or you can look at it as the Cavs are a miraculous Rashard Lewis 3 away from being up 2-0.
It's true though that this Magic team poses all kinds of matchup problems. At this point, I'd rather be playing any other team in the NBA.
Sasha Pavlovic does appear to provide the speed and height that might aleviate some of those matchup problems.
Really though, if Mo Williams and Delonte West provide *anything* neither of these games are particularly close.

true...each team had their shot
but the fact is the cavs (who i'm pulling for) lost HCA and were precariously close to being down 0-2 after two games in cleveland.
sure, they could be up 2-0....but they were expected to be up 2-0, not limping into orlando 1-1.
that said, i hope they're pissed off and emphatically take game 3

Cleveland can't win 3 out of the next 4.

They can if they don't shoot 5-26 from three point.
They can if they get anything from a non-Lebron player.
They can if Dwight Howard doesn't shoot 74% from the line.
They can if Rashard Lewis doesn't go 4-5 from three point.
==============
But I'm not sure all or any of those things will happen.
Game 4 is Game 7. Winner will take all.

Orlando is just a littler better than Cleveland.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the three blind mice show up tonight to ref. Wearing Cleveland jerseys.
Something tells me there's going to be a perimeter about 3 feet around Lebron that no one can enter.

Haven't you been saying this all series?
It's going to come down to Z and Williams making shots. That's it. If Z is hitting his shots, Howard is neutralized on the defensive glass (the points are nice too). Also, all the missed shots are leading to fast break 3's. Those are absolutely murder.

Well, if anyone other than Lebron plans on showing up, tonight's a good night to do so.

Mo Williams guaranteed a series win.
