    Did you forget that the Cavs went 66-16 and Mo Williams was an all star? One player can't win 66 games. Come on.

    If Cleveland had made it, I would have actually cared to watch some of it. This was the first finals I hadn't watched at all since that unwatchable Spurs-Nets finals from a couple of years ago.

    You do realize that the Rockets took the Lakers to seven games with no Mutombo, no Yao for the final (3? 4?) games, and no TMac overall?

    Best team in the West when healthy: Houston Rockets
    Best team in the East when healthy: Boston Celtics

    Best team overall, WHEN HEALTHY: ?

    All homerism aside, the "7" in "Rockets VS. Lakers Game 7" was no fluke.

    Cleveland would have fared even worse than the Magic. Did people just forget about their playoff collapse, and assume they were tragically robbed of their rightful place in the finals? You have to be kidding me.

    On paper, the Magic matched up very well with the Lakers--it's just that they choked when it counted.

    Lakers were 2:1 against Rox with Yao. And Rox were a better team without TMac
