Mo Williams was sporting sunglasses today to mask the welts he of course has the day after the elbow from Anthony Johnson and the accompanying four stitches...actually his eye doesn't look as bad as I thought it would...his left eye lid is puffy, and the cheekbone is swollen.
Mo is more concerned right now with hitting shots the way he knows he can....32% percent from the floor, and 25% from 3 is obviously well off his norm...he'll continue to find ways get open looks, and not lose his aggressiveness, nor his confidence to knock down those shots. Mo is taking more than his fair share of blame, and teammates are making sure he doesn't get down on himself...but frankly, you want a guy who takes responsibility. In a three game series so far, separated by just 10 total points, it doesn't take a math wiz to figure how different this series could be, if a few jumpers from Mo, Delonte and or Z start to fall. Delonte pointed to the start of 2nd quarters when LeBron is getting a rest, he and Mo expect to score, and so far they have not taken advantage of that stretch they way they have been...they both know it, and plan on rectifying the situation.
Clearly they are playing an excellent team, that is doing its best to make the Cavs take tough shots, and vice versa. The Magic have shot 43% or less, seven times in this postseason, and still managed to win five of those games, so it shows they have been steady defensively.
Charles Barkley has now riled the central Floridians by saying on the TNT broadcast that Amway Arena is not an intimidating place to play...as Z said so well, 20,000 screaming people, is 20,000 screaming people...for players, it doesn't matter being on the road...it's the home team which gets the juice...and I thought it was a good crowd in Game 3, certainly better than what we saw in Atlanta for that series.

Lebron James and CAV dont give up!!! |


Mr. McLeod, please comment on this, do you agree with me?
harrisWith game 4 tommorrow still at Orlando, and Cavs being down 1-2 in the series, think it through, it is actually favoring cavs with all these playoff hype and intensity. yes, the Orlando Magic is ahead again after the win yesterday, but here's the thought, though we lost home court advantage, it is ours for the taking again tommorrow. A win will not only tie the series but momentum will swing back to Cleveland, hopefully with 2-2 tommorrow after the game, game 5 will be at the Q and no doubt Lebron and co. wont let a game 1 repeat happen again at the Q. Instead, with a win in game 4 will surely lift the Cavs spirit and will prove that Lebron and co., have finally found the antidote against the Magics and bringing the challenge back to the Q (home sweet home baby!), confidence will be at sky-high level!!! So, all we have to do is cheer the cavs on during game 4 and hope all else fall into place. After that, surely we have momentum on our side to finally take the lead in game 5.
