Minor Notes On The Eastern Conference Finals

Mickael Pietrus is slowly becoming the new James Posey and seems to be relishing in this new role, being hated by every opposing teams' fans.

Dwight Howard's one "post move" where he lowers his head and just elbows and shoulders everyone out of his way is completely and utterly ridiculous. As in illegal and should get the whistle blown every time he does it, but the NBA loves him to much to do that. Which brings me to the next point...

Should the Orlando Magic and Dwight Howard get the dirty team/player tags? Because they are not playing very nice and their whole "Fuck the Cavs, I'm Dwight/Hedo/Skip To My Lou/Mickael/Courtney" attitude is very unearned. Congrats you beat a down and out Boston team in seven games that the Cavs would have beat in four. They are playing a form of team ball that includes players getting theirs which is not really a good thing. Rashard is the only one that seems to be about the team, it was better when Jameer was running the point.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Cavs are not a good team. Being deep with a bunch of sixth men and role players isn't the same as having a big three or even a big two. Delonte is proving my point that he is horrible and Z is proving another of my points that he is too old to play against Howard, not to mention he is missing his shots. We are playing two players a total of 27 mil to sit on the bench! Also Mo Williams seems to be proving my point that having a playoff veteran like Rip Hamilton or a clutch scorer and defender like Iggy would be a better option for the Cavs.

As off right now the Cavs and the Lakers are the two worse teams remaining. Both Denver and Orlando are more talented all around and deeper teams.

What happened to Boobie? I know he was hurting about his foot, but I think he is also hurting about Mo Williams. Because maybe he thought he could win the starting job or now he's sad cause he is no longer LeBron's butt buddy. This needs to change he was always clutch. Even though he's a one trick pony, he knows a good trick and that's making threes rain.

The Cavs are making the match-up problems they already had even worse. LeBron's too busy trying to be a free safety to cover Alston and Delonte can not cover Hedo. Not to mention Z is awful against Dwight, Andy's style of play tends to get him in foul trouble against him and he is too slow to cover Rashard. Ben Wallace knows what to do but then again on offense he's retarded.

Stan Van Gundy is a mess, unfortunately Mike Brown is, and always has been, an even bigger mess. He can't coach a team he can ask them to do things that they may or may not do.

Having said all this I still believe the Cavs will show up and finish off the Magic with three straight wins. It's just a matter of pride and we've been there before, even though it was a fluke.
