You know what I like about our team

All he needs to do is play aggressive. Get to the line as much as possible. Fake the three and drive and force contact. That is all we have ever needed from him.

 

If he takes the match up with LeBron as a personal challenge, then we should be just fine.

 

I think we will see a bit of a test in the next round against the Hawks. Joe Johnson is considerably less of a player than LeBron, but his attacking style is similar to both James and to VC. If VC responds well to what Johnson does, it is a good sign.

I don't think the cavs play nearly as good defensively as the bobcats.

 

The Bobcats defense was also overrated, I think. Just watching the way they were lost, it seems more likely they were a paper tiger, relying on a slower game to gain lower scores rather than real defense.

 

The Cavs are a legit threat - don't doubt it: they went out and got a lot of pieces, but the one that worries me the most is Jamison, not LeBron.

Jamison?

If the Magic stay focused and committed, I think any team in the NBA would find it very difficult to beat us in a 7 game series. Even Skip Bayless was forced to concede that Magic was great during the Bobcat series.

Yeah, no more settling for jumpshots. Drive hard to the rim and get fouled or dunk it.
