October 28, 200916 yr I think the Cavs will be fine. I don't see Orlando beating them with that revamped roster. I just don't see how you replace 3 starters who got you to the finals with VC and get better. The Magic won that series because of the mismatches, Lewis at the 3 and Carter at the two isn't going to produce the same kind of problems IMO. On a good note, LeBron is averaging 38 points this year:lol:. I don't think the Cavs made enough moves to pass the Celtics or Lakers, but I think they beat anyone else head to head in a playoff series this year, with the exception of maybe the Spurs. Plus, Cleveland added a guy or two that would have helped in those matchups this year.

What if VC plays the 3 and Lewis plays the 4? I just think Boston is too old to win the title. I agree w/ what Barkley said last night. There are 4 elite teams and the Cavs are right behind them, but not at their level.
October 28, 200916 yr But not a fan of Paul Pierce. I really never have been either. I just think Boston is too old to win the title. I disagree. I believe that Doc Rivers will be pretty smart in how his players total up their minutes throughout the year. Plus, it seems they have changed up their routine from past years to allow the players to get more rest, smart move.
October 28, 200916 yr Boston looks solid. Cavs appear to be a one man band again. Not sure why all the hate on Pierce. He is one of Boston's all time prolific scorers.
October 28, 200916 yr I really like Lebron, but Shaq is my least favorite player ever. I just cannot root for the Cavs anymore. Love the Celtics though!
October 28, 200916 yr Didn't get to watch this one, unfortunately... I HATE missing a Celtics game. Glad to see they got the W, though.
October 28, 200916 yr Boston looks solid. Cavs appear to be a one man band again. Not sure why all the hate on Pierce. He is one of Boston's all time prolific scorers. I'm not hating on him. Just don't care for him. I don't particularly like Steve Nash. Great players, no doubt.

There are 4 elite teams and the Cavs are right behind them, but not at their level. I think that at times you'll see VC at the 2, Barnes and Lewis at the 3 and 4 in either order. JMO, but I can't see the Magic getting by the Cavs or Celtics with out Turk. Especially with the pieces Boston and Cleveland have added. Plus, Cleveland added a guy or two that would have helped in those matchups this year. True. Parker and Moon would have been a great duo to have against the Magic. I'm was excited for bits and pieces of the game last nite, but I agree with many on here that it is a Boston-LA collision course for the title.
