Can't believe I'm starting this....

But it's pretty much the only thing on TV tonight. Battle for the 2 in the East, the Cavs are going to RUN away and hide with the 1 IMO.

C's up 6-1 early.

That's kind of crazy and normally I would say it is obviously because of Howard, but I just checked the box score. He only shot 10.

Boston didn't go inside much to be honest. A lot of 3 pointers/jump shots taken.

Boston went up by as much as 16 when the 3's were falling, but then they started missing and Orlando went on the attack..

Vince Carter was booed by the home crowd tonight too. God I'm so happy Orlando made that move. The announcer and John Hollinger were calling him out after several terrible possessions by him.

Neither of these teams are looking scary to me as a Cavs fan. The only team I'm really worried about as of NOW are the LA Lakers obviously.

Wonder how many guys on ESPN will still say that the Celtics are still the favorites in the East. Did you see Garnett get smoked for the game winner? Pathetic effort--a shell of his former self.

lol, Bill Simmons was ripping Rasheed a new one on that play because of his weak ass weakside defense...

John Hollinger said he gave Sheed a pass on defense last year because of the team he was on, but there is no excuse for that this year...

I had Ric Bucher tweet me saying that he likes Cleveland in the East if Boston isn't healthy.. I like Cleveland in the East regardless.

I watched this game. Neither one of these teams looked very good last night. Orlando really messed up by not signing Turkalu (sp). I only watched to scope out the competition. If this is the best in the East Cleveland is looking mighty fine right now and we have our two best guards sidelined. Could this be our year.....lord I hope so.
