They still don't. If Mike Brown defends that last play correctly the Cavs are up 1-0. You can't win every game.

The Magic remind me of the 2004 Pistons, they are a blue collar team, they work and work and work, and it usually works out for them. Of the teams remaining in the playoffs, they are the worst matchup for everyone IMO. The Lakers take plays off, the Cavs have a real problem if Lebron goes to the bench to take a break and Denver has to answer for Superman. I won't say they are going to win this series, in fact if Lebron gets a little more time to sit down when they are up by 10 I think the Cavs win this game.

It's good to confirm that King is Tron too, I figured as much.

I am going to lay it out like this, the 2004 Lakers team, best referred to as the all star team, had a ton of talent, best record in the NBA, and went through the playoffs never really meeting a challenge until the finals. Then, we all saw how soft that team was, what really defines a team isn't how they handle pressure when they are up, it's how they handle it when they are down.

Their tranisition three's are a big problem and there is really no one that can guard both Lewis at the 4 and Turk at the 3. That said, if the Magic win this series, I think they beat the Lakers, but the Nuggets would have a field day with them.

I wonder if we might see a little more LeBron at the 4. It won't kill you on the glass because Lewis and Hedo aren't really bangers, but it'd help defenisvely on the pick and rolls.

I'd much rather see LeBron hedging and recovering than Z or Varejao all game.

If you run Varajeo, LeBron, Sasha or Wally, West, and Williams I think the defense is upgraded becuase you can play the perimeter infinitely better. It was sickening, watching Anderson/Z try and play Lewis/Hedo straight up behind the arc.
