In my opinion the only legit second man for the Cavs is Jamison. Shaq's wheels have fallen off and Mo Williams is borderline decent. The only player on the Cavs that would start on the Celtics is Lebron.

He is better than all four of the Celt's players...but he is only one man and he can't defend all of them at once.

Yeah but the Celtics best players are very inconsistent too. The most consistent person on their team at this point is Rondo. But I agree for the most part that the Celts have a better starting 5. Now bench wise, Im going with the Cavs there. Still the Celtics are on the downside, and really so are the Cavs. Shaq will probably be gone, Z will probably be gone, and Jamison is getting pretty old tho he still plays pretty well. Cavs are going to have to find a way to trade for a younger star big man, or another really good scorer at least. Same with the Celtics, The Big Three are all getting up there in age. And now that I think of it the Magic aren't very young either. The Hawks are the only elite East team with a young core. Should be interesting. But these playoffs are far from over, and I can still see the Cavs winning it all.

Orlando may have something to say about that

Quite frankly, the Celtics should be up 2-0 in this series and I think Brown knows that the game 1 collapse by the Celtics was a gift. Watching the 3rd and 4th quarters of game 2, IMO, the Cavs looked like they were just going through the motions, except for the one run to cut the lead to 10.

The Cavs know this is the Playoffs, right? Ask the Washington Capitals about thinking you can just show up and win!

Lebron is better than Rondo, Pierce, Garnett and Allen combined? Combined? Really? Guess we know not to listen to any more of your points.

BTW, Lebron is getting another MRI on the royal elbow today.

Ok maybe I was going a little bit overboard with him being better than all 4 of them combined lol, still the Cavs were much better than the Celtics during the regular season. They were the favorite for alot of people to win the championship. Now they are just throwing all that all away against a team that went .500 in the second half of the season. The Celts are just better when it comes to the playoffs.

Looks like ol' Mr. Potato Head's little pep talk did the trick. The Cavs made the Celtics look like a second rate college team today.

I don't know what was more shocking last night,


The Spurs being down 3-0 or the Celtics getting blown out

The Spurs. How could they play so well against Dallas and so sub-par against Phoenix?

I knew the Cavs would come out swinging. They always do when they blow the previous game. And, let's face it, the Cavs are clearly the better overall team.
