I think so too. I thought thats where the streak would end but glad it was tonight
The Cavs' skid is mercifully over.
In the words of Al Bundy, 'I'm so happy, I could shake your hand.'

Here's how long ago it was since the Cavs won:
the Jaguars were in the driver's seat to win the AFC South
the Packers were on the verge of possibly missing the playoffs
I had a beard

Inbteresting speculation in the New York Times today. The Lakers might get to swap Bynum for Dwight Howard next year.
Howard is in the last year of his contract next year. Bynum is technically in the last year, but his contract has a team option for one more year. They can be swapped because their contracts are close enough.
The Lakers are at $92 million for this year and next. Orlando is at $75 million each year. Orlando will have to deal away Howard because if he walks, they will still be within $4 million of the current cap, and you can't even buy a good back-up center for that price.

I see I botched the construction of the second paragraph in the preceding post #948, which should have read, "Howard will be in the last year of his contract next year. Bynam will be in his last year." The Laker's contractual option is to secure Bynam for 2112-2113.
Not worried one bit. Because with Boston being 3-0 against Miami, they only own a 1/2 game lead over them. As long as Miami is the #2 seed, hell, even #3 seed, they will be fine and hopefully healthy and fully loaded.
Today, Boston proved that to beat them, you have to play a FULL 4 quarters. Miami was better than them for 3....and that is not enough.
That, and regular season success does not matter a lot come playoff time.
Just because you beat a team in a season series does not give you a free pass in the postseason.
The most vivid one I recall was the 1989 Chicago Bulls. They were oh-and-6 angainst the CAVS in the regular season and Michael and the "Jordanettes" won the series 3-2 on "the shot". I am sure there are plenty throughout the years, but without researching, that is the main one that comes to mind.
Hell, even Paul Pierce knows it:
He ain't dumb, he knows that when playoff time comes around....the regular season means nothing.
The playoffs are gonna be fun.
you're right my friend but i'm still a little worried. it has to be sitting in the back of their minds that even though they played them the best they have so far this season ,it still wasn't enough. I just don't want this to become a mental issue for miami. you know what i mean. they started well but that 2nd quarter was a mess with all those turnovers. you have to play a pretty flawless game against this celtic team. and as already mentioned the celtics didn't have their big guy which can present some issues for the heat later on. we'll see......
thats the other thing to think about. pierce didn't have a single point i believe. i don't think we got the best of them yesterday
. and yet we still lost
Playoff atmosphere bro!
Just goes to show you how absolutely chaotic this city will get when we finally win the big one.
WOW!! A FULL court alley-oop from Wade to Lebron last night! Then stay a few seconds and watch Lebron pass to HIMSELF off the backboard for a dunk...crazy!

Speaking of last night's HEAT - PACERS game... They have a good young team. I REALLY like their hustle and toughness! Watch out for them.
