Last night the Cleveland Cavaliers lost their first playoff game this year and couldn't handle the pressure of being tested but fear not... you still have Lebron James. Dwight Howard scored 30 points in leading the Orlando Magic from a 15 point halftime deficit to knock off the Cavs 107-106. Rashard Lewis scored 22 points including knocking down the game winning 3 point shot with 14.7 seconds left handing the Cavs only their third loss in 46 games at home. Lebron James filled up the stat sheet once again with 49 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 blocks and two steals but passed up the game winning shot after knifing through the lane and passing it to an open Mo Williams who passed to an open Delonte West who missed the shot. If Lebron would have kept the ball he would have either made the shot or been fouled and had a chance to tie it at the line, but instead he passed it and they lost. How many times is James going to get burned by his teammates before he learns his lesson, it actually reminded me of the last time the Cavs made the Finals and The Spurs only guarded James because no one else could make a shot. But Cavs fans fear not... You had an 11 day layoff and still played good enough to win, it's a seven game series and you have home court in game 7, Williams, West, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas went a combined 15-43 from the field and a terrible 5-16 from beyond the arc. The Cavs still have the core players from the Finals team in Sasha Pavlovic, Anderson Varejao, Daniel Gibson, Big Z, and oh yeah the best player in the league Lebron James. If Lebron keeps the ball the Cavs either win or at least send it overtime. I still the Cavs will win in 6 but hopefully this loss will put things in perspective for Cavs fans... Yes your good but you're not unbeatable.
ORLANDO LEADS SERIES 1-0 OVER CLEVELAND
