Things To Think About...
- Granted, Cleveland ran through Detroit, but is anybody playing at a higher level that Denver? They're scorching right now...
Eastern Conference Playoff Outlook...
- #4 Atlanta vs. #1 Cleveland - Cleveland steamrolled D-Town. Although Detroit was brutal, the Cavs were - and still are - on a mission. Atlanta, on the other hand, looked mediocre and inconsistent in their series against Miami. And they struggle mightily in the half-court. Although the Hawks have athletes to hang with Cleveland, they don't have the talent to do so. There's a difference. PREDICTION: Cavs in 5.
- #3 Orlando vs. #2 Boston - This will be interesting. Boston's coming off a historic series against Chicago, surviving Game 7. They're banged up and drained. Orlando's fresh off of a series against Philly, in which, for all they did during the season, they pretty weak. They're battling injuries themselves, but not the way Boston is. The deciding factors: confidence and experience. As tight as the Bulls series was, Boston never looked shook. They'd been their before, surviving 3 game 7's in last years playoffs en route to the Championship. Orlando, however, has got to be questioning themselves. They struggled against Philly and Stan Van Gundy's a problem. I think the intangibles favor Boston. PREDICTION: Boston in 7 (I'd say 6, but Boston seems to like to keep things interesting).
