    I just feel they are not very good compared with teams in the west.

    What a dunk by Lebron!

    His eyes lighted up when he saw JJ trying to guard him. :D

    LOL Alston still can hit 3 and finish around the basket. Don't miss him. We have AB now.

    they need to make a rule that says lebron can't use a jump step. it's not even fair when he uses it to change direction and then explodes into you.

    also spin moves. he can't do those.

    Cavs in 7. More money for the NBA, the longer the series.

    Last defensive play and JJ.Redick was left to guard Lebron? He gets mentioned in the COY talk? Are you kidding me.

    Pavlovic's eyes lit up too when Redick was guarding him. Two easy layups.

    AB needs to improve his passing skills. For a starting pg, 2-3 asts per game is very poor. Some people say AB is the same type player as Parker. But Parker averages 5-6 asts per game! And, Parker's mid-range jumper is outstanding! AB still has a long way to go!

    AB will never be as good as TP. Not a chance.

    oh, and is mo williams going to make a fundamentally sound play in tonight's game? apparently he thinks he can win all 4 games at once with every shot and every overly aggressive defensive play he makes.

    I feel the cavs' defense is overrated. Usually, after they make a run, they are unable to hold on the lead.

    Is AB better than Rafer?

    He does some things better, some things worse. I'm very glad the trade was made because the Rockets weren't going anywhere with Rafer. Next season, I imagine there won't be any question that AB is better than Rafer.

    They had the highest point differential in the league during the regular season. They are also up there, if not first, during the postseason. Neither of those things speak to them being an overrated defensive team or being unable to hold leads. You may just be letting one game overly influence your viewpoint.

    Dwight Howard complains to the refs every time he can't hold on to the ball

    The highest point differential doesn't mean the best defense! Instead, it means they are a very balanced team.

    The highest point differential means you were wrong when you said they blow a lot of leads.

    Well up to this point they have put teams away when they had big leads.

    You said "Usually they are unable to hold leads", which isn't true, until this series.
