Why We Can Beat Cleveland.

No, i also doubt sheldon will see any time vs cleve...doc seemed to tighten up in the last miami game, went to his old script...."just the 5-6 starters"....a close one there....Finley..he can be great...as long as he keeps within his role...a few games ago he was trying to slash, create...it didn't do nothing..! He is a shooting specialist, and needs to stay in that role..he cannot cover anyone....not that i  see, unless they play or find wally sezerback for him to cover..! But the way the C's have been playing, we can beat them....Miami is actually good, but when the C's play like this, they make everyone look bad..!...Heck, I want to beat miami in 4...then Cleve in 4 also...!!!!

I feel comfortable talking about this now after the Cavs finally playing a game ot their ability on Sunday and the Celtics seeming to be very comfortable and in line to win their series.

I think this will be a great series.  The Cavs will approach Rondo much the same way they approach Rose.  Take away his drives and make him a jump shooter.  The Cavs defense has done a MUCH better jobs on pick and rolls, especially in the second half yesterday.

It's good to see Garnett and Pierce really getting in a groove.  I think this next series will be a real battle.  I know a lot of people think the Cavs will win the East, but that doesn't mean the series will be easy. 

I like that Shaq's  minutes have been very limited.  He has really had only one good game in the Chicago series, and I like that Brown is not forcing the issue too much.  It was also encouraging to see JJ Hickson take Z's minutes.  We love Z in Cleveland, but he is what he is.  A slow center with a jump shot.

I know the Miami series should be in the bag, but I hate focusing on Cleveland when the Miami series is not won yet.
