T on Howard was total nonsense. 

Yes.  I don't even understand why there is a technical foul for "taunting."  It's the playoffs...I think players ought to be allowed to get a little hyped up after they make a big shot / dunk.  It should only be a T if it's excessive or involves physical contact etc.

I'm really hoping the league will rescind the technical like they did for Kobe.

Well, star18, while I would maintain that the statistics and what we saw through much of the season and playoffs from these two teams didn't lend themselves to predicting what we've seen so far, I've certainly looked like an idiot through the first four games of this series - and your belief that the Cavs would have to go seven to have a shot to win has been proven true.  So while I might still contend that I disagree with some of the logic you used, that's fairly irrelevant now - hats off to you.

Here's a TP for your trouble.

Thanks Steve I appreciate it.  I was giving stats as to how I felt the series would go.  Actually looked like the stats before the series favored the Magic just a little.  Had all 10 epsn experts not picked the opposite I wouldn't feel the need to talk about it as much.

If Orlando wins Game 2 its a sweep.  4-0.  I keep telling people Cavs are not that great, they are a good team, but the real numbers and statistics don't back them up.  They have been playing some of the worst competition ever.  They lost at home, with Mo hitting that ridiculous 3 and Lebron scoring almost 50 points.   LETS GO MAGIC!!!!

I'll bet you 20 tommy pts that CLE wins the series 4-2.

...points awarded. Bitterly. Ironically I was rooting for the magic anyways but I just assumed Cleveland was too good a team.

You actually just gave wins against +.600 teams. Not the right stats to predict this. If you would have talked about the Magic's games against the Cavs more I would award you more credit.

But instead it became Red Lobster fest along with overall LeBron hate which morphed in Stern/League hate.

Yeah they are the right stats to predict this.  Only  2 wins in their last 58 games against a healthy +.600 team for the Cavs who are grabbing their 9 iron right now

At 10-4 The Cavs will probably finish the post season with the highest winning percentage too.

Cavs played the top 7 teams in the NBA 23 times this year.  They had 2 decisive wins, not counting the game against Boston when Celtics had arleady clinched playoff spot, and 8 decisive losses in those 23 games.  Maybe that had something to do with why they lost to Orlando 4-2, maybe it didn't.  All I know is they lost and won't win the championship.  That is all the information I have.
