Cavs look dominant while Celtics and Lakers struggle at 2-2

Cleveland is well on their way to a sweep of the hopeless Hawks and then gets to wait for the survivor of the Celtics/Magic series that now looks like it will go seven games after Big Baby came of age hitting the last of his 21 points as time expired in Orlando, evening the series, taking back home court advantage, as well as the momentum of the series with one shot. The Magic managed to shut down Pierce, keeping Allen from even getting a touch but left Davis wide open from 21 feet. All things being equal, if you’re the magic and had to roll the dice it’s a bet you’d make again. Since when does Davis knock that down? You had to figure Orlando was ready to run into the locker room to chants of “we want King James”, instead it’s back to Beantown and the mire that will surely encompass game 5. What do you make of the Lakers? I’ll tell you their lack of killer instinct is what cost them game 5 in the finals last year as Boston came back from 20 down to win and eventually take the series, and now the ghost of softness past is rearing it’s ugly head again. Without the services of Yao Ming the Rockets out hustled, muscled, and worked LA in a game 4 win that was not nearly as close as the final score. The Lakers are not looking or playing like a team that will be dismantled if they aren’t fitted for rings come June, every game you keep waiting for them to kick it into a gear that never comes. The question remains, will it come in time to save this series and this franchise?? Who wins the East and West Semi’s? Let us know here and in the NBA playoff chat rooms and team rooms.
