Comments Related To: There's nothing Magical about this series

Cleveland reminds me of the Lakers last year. In the 2008 playoffs, the Lakers cruised to the finals, easily blowing out team after team. Then, things took a rapid turn when they faced Boston. Similarly, Cleveland was cruising until this series. You are right on point about Cleveland's match up problems against Orlando. The big 3 are just too much to handle. And don't forget how big Pietrus has been. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he outscored the entire Cavs bench in game 4. After watching game 5, it is very clear that if Cleveland wants to win this thing, it's going to be Lebron James playing exceptionally every single night, because the rest of the team isn't showing up. I don't think James can carry the whole load all by himself and win another 2 games, but he is the MVP, so you never know. However, it seems very unlikely.
