Cavs vs. Magic
Tonight is Game 5 of the Magic, Cavs series and the Magic are looking to end it with a 3-1 lead in the series. Even though the Cavs hold the seasons best record history is against them right now. In the history of the NBA only 8 teams have comeback from a 3-1 deficit in over 190 attempts. So far LeBron has been doing his job, averaging 42 points a game, but the rest of the team needs to pick up the slack. The main problem has been the Cavs guards not knocking down open threes. Delonte West and Mo Williams were both 0-6 from beyond the arc in Game 4. So if they can start hitting the Cavs shouldnt be in bad shape. Another problem is the matchup at the 4 and 5 spot. The Cavs have not found a way to defend Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis because their big men arent fast enough. Ilgaskus is big enough to guard Dwight Howard but is almost too big becuase Dwight has been flying past him and dunking all over. Lewis has also been a headache because Varejao isnt use to having to go out and guard the three and would rather post up, while Rashard can do either.
