Honestly, the T from Reggie KILLED them. It was only 1 point, as I don't think the Cavs scored after the FT, but it just sucked the life out of them. It was a 4 point game and it seemed like it was over as soon as that happened. They also were able to hold JR to single digits, which he can explode for 15-18 in a moments time.
I still think they sweep, but I expect each game to be like yesterday. Tough, hard fought games where the Cavs pull away at the end. I think it actually benefits the Cavs in the long run. The next 2 rounds are going to be absolute battles in Boston/Atlanta and Toronto/Miami, most likely. Although Indiana could make a run too.
I can see the heat being an absolute battle, but the hawks/celtics? If the Cavs play like they should, there is no way that series should be an absolute battle.
