March 17, 2009

Post mortem:  Cavs 97, Magic 93
A few things of note:

Assuming the Cavs take nothing lower than the No. 2 seed (sorry, I grew up in Northeast Ohio and guard against sports optimism), the Magic and the Cavs could very well be on a collision course before the Eastern Conference Finals.  That should scare any Cavs [...]
