The Cavs arrived in Orlando in the wee hours of Friday morning, changing up the routine, hoping to get a good day of rest vs. flying in this afternoon...as Mike Brown says they are not thinking about a Game 7 directly, adding they are here to do one thing, and that is win Game 6, and of course the result of that is one more game at The Q. Staying composed is what the Cavs will have to do. Mike talked about the small ball deployment of having Mo, Delonte and Boobie on the floor at the same time, and made a good point. Ben now being healthy again allows the Cavs to utilize that line-up a little more..
Mike says what he has enjoyed so much about this series, is being forced to go really deep, in finding ways to try and defend this Orlando juggernaut. The Magic has so many weapons, it has challenged the Cavs and the coaching staff to uncover the smallest of defensive details to swing the outcome. I keep watching total points scored in this series.
Orlando 519, Cavaliers, 517...can you get much closer through 5 games?
Delonte says his right hip feels a lot better than it did last night...he says he has a nasty bruise on it, and is not certain when he actually when he hurt it...but there is no way he won't be ready to go in the biggest game of the season.
Delonte was asked about the collision of LeBron and Dwight Howard near the rack, and he described them as the next generation human beings...two of the strongest players in the NBA meeting at the summit.
We saw the real Mo Williams, going 7 for 14, and since he is such a confident player, he may be ready to roll the rest of this series. Mike fully expects Mo to deliver and wants him to continue to be aggressive with his shot as he did en route to 24 points in Game 5.
LeBron added that pressure is on both teams now, not on one more than the other...although LBJ says he never feels pressure, so he's excited to get it on tomorrow night. He says the way the Cavs played down the stretch in Game 4 here gives them the total belief they can win Game 6.
There seems to be the notion that LeBron having to initiate the offense as he did repeatedly down the stretch might be too physically demanding, but LeBron said no way...he thinks he was built for this, and never felt tired, and welcomes the responsibility....the way he initiated the offense at the elbow particularly in the final quarter, as opposed to outside the three point line, put incredible pressure on the Magic defense...that will be the riddle Stan Van Gundy and his team will have to try and solve...what to do with King James. LeBron did a lot of the attacking from the corner of the key for Team USA during the gold medal run. With the floor spread and his ability to go either way on the bounce, makes finding shooters a little easier.
See you on Cavaliers Live pre game and post game on FOX Sports Ohio.
