Orlando Sends King James And Cavs To Exile With Win
The Cleveland Cavaliers had the best record in the NBA, but someone forgot to tell the Orlando Magics as they sent King James and the Cavaliers to exile with a 103-90 win. Everyone thought the Cavaliers would steamroll over the Orlando Magics, but the opposite happen as the Cavaliers game Lebron James no help at all and you will never win one against five.
Last night Orlando’s Dwight Howard started fast and the Cavaliers had no answers for him as he tossed in 40 points and Rashard Lewis added 18 points in the win. The Magics bench play was another big factor in this series as well as they outscored Cleveland’s bench easily to help fuel this series win.
Lebron James played his heart out and if it was not for him the Cavaliers would have got swept. His supporting cast was AWOL all series long and you cannot expect him to do everything himself. I was disappointed that James did not address reporters, but it was a crushing defeat for him considering all he did in the series and he got nothing for it.
In the end the Orlando Magics just had to many weapons for the Cavaliers who never got much help from anyone except James. The Cavaliers will have a very interesting off-season as they will have a bunch of decisions to make. Many guys will not be back or trade I have this feeling. The Cavaliers have proven they cannot play well against a good team with this group so changes need to be made.
