the cavs would beat boston in 5 if they play in the playoffs...the magic would knock boston out in 6. boston doesn't have enough to win a series vs those 2 teams...they are too old and the bench is weak (esp with eddie house having to defend anyone)

And yet we took the Magic to 7 games (in a series we should've won) with a depleted roster, with Scal and Big Baby playing MAJOR minutes. Please, welcome to the world of basketball... to the playoffs.

Won't disagree with you about the Cavs right now (though it should be remembered how unbeatable they looked in the regular season last year). But I disagree about the Magic. In the playoffs, House doesn't even have to play. Tony and Daniels, who can both defend anyone, can be in instead of House, along with a starter or two.

boston wouldn't beat orlando in a 7 game series IMO. last year was last year and to be honest...boston played harder and with more heart last season short handed than they do this year.

I think Orlando still cause the Cavs a lot of problems offensively. If Vince Carter + Jameer Nelson get back to their best form, then I think the Magic are still the favourites against Cleveland in a playoff series.

That's a big "if" though. Have to wait and see.

How dangerous Orlando is as a title threat, both against Cleveland and Boston, is still uncertain. All eyes on Nelson + Vince, they'll be the ones who decide how good Orlando can be.
