repost from earlier:
I guess Jameer Nelson was spotted in uniform warmups pregame doing some layups and taking some shots with the team.

Word is he may be able to play if the Magic make it to the Finals. That would be a big boost for the Magic in the Finals, regardless of who they play

Mike Brown is really showing his true colors as a coach. And Mo Williams is showing his true colors as a scrub-turned-all-star-turned-scrub.
I feel the Cavs can still push it to game 7 if LeBron just gets one guy, just one, to help him out a little. It doesn't matter who. If he can have one guy score in the 18-22 range, they get a win. I'm talking game 6 here, as there is no way in hell Cavs lose game 5.

well its certinaly up to LeBron's sad little teammates and coaches at this point, because there basically is nothing more he can do. That's probably not a great sign for the Cavs. Somewhat interesting and discouraging on the will LeBron stay or will he go front too -- if you are a superduper All Time star and just put together one of the most dominant postseasons in the NBA for decades and your team still gave you almost no support and you fall short...how frustating must that be? And how likely to get one thinking of greener pastures.
These are LeBron's averages in this series:
42.3pts 7.3rebs 7.3 ast on .531 shooting. And he's losing.

Those stats are insane. I think this series is going to force the Cavs to find another star to pair with Lebron or he will be on the outs in 2010 FA. The series has proven yet again that it's Lebron and a band of misfits in Cleveland.
The Cavs have too many role players that can only do one thing. Ben Wallace, Varajeo and Joe Smith are all good defenders/hustle players but liabilities on the offensive side of the ball. Big Z is old and slow, West and Williams are role players with inflated stats that don't show up when the pressure is on.
Winning a ton of regular season games is one thing, but they need another big time player if they want to win a championship.
I think they need a big man - Chris Bosh anyone?
im sick of the media talking about how cleveland isnt playing well and mo needs to step up. they have played great all season AND in the playoffs. orlando is just proving to everyone that they are the best team in the east. and theyre doing this without jameer nelson. i really hope he returns if they make it to the finals.
That’s what happens when a player guarantees a win – not just any win, a series win. Mo Williams hasn’t been making his shots and has been playing off and then he goes to make that statement. I knew nothing good could come from his comment.
But wow, Lebron really kept them in game. Impressive. The bad: he did have 7 crucial turnovers at the 4th and his teammates really haven’t pulled their weight. I can’t wait to see how the Cavs respond in the next game.
Off topic: As much as I like to see Lebron in a Kings uniform, I want to see him stay in Cleveland. Hopefully he won’t leave during ’10.

I think we should get rid of the "Coach of the Year" Award. Its a joke. Mike Brown will probably be fired after this season if they lose this game. If not this year, next year. There is a difference between being a good coach and having super star players on your team like Brown and Avery Johnson.
If not get rid of it they should at least make it work by taking into account different things other than having the most wins. They should take into account things like "most game winning plays" and success through adversity such as injuries/suspensions ect... I honestly think Rick Adelman was by far the coach of the year this year especially after what he did in the playoffs.

I honestly don't think the Cavs can win in Orlando. Tonight was the first time since the miracle shot that Lebron has played like he's wanted it more than the Magic.
And quite honestly, they blew a 22 point lead again tonight and the only reason they escaped was because Lebron realized he had to step up coupled with D12 fouling out, and Gibson & Varejao contributing.
