While I appreciate the detailed analysis supporting the Cavs this year, allow me to make a few comments in response to this afternoon's Houston-LA game.
Look, the Lakers clearly played passively, looked lethargic and failed to match the energy of the "win one for Yao" revitalized home team. But such a performance can be excused. One win away from clinching the series and getting rid of the pesky Rockets, it is natural for a team to look a little slow. One game--at Staples no less--is all they need to get rid of the pesky Rockets. So what if Aaron Brooks looked like CP3, the hard work was done on the road trip. They built a sizeable cushion to take a game off today. You don't have to go back to Houston, instead using a few extra days to get ready for Denver who suddenly enjoys playing defense. So before everyone starts getting on Lamar, Fisher and....oh, I'm being told the Lakers were only up 2-1 entering today and not 3-1. hmmm, nevermind then.
