The dream match up of LeBron vs Kobe in the NBA Finals is going take a miracle now. The Cavs go down 3 games to 1 last night in Orlando. In another game that game down to the final seconds and this time LeBron didn’t hit the shot – it was a very tough shot but a decent look. Although tested it appears the Lakers are the superior team and will prevail in the West but it hasn’t been easy. For Cleveland the Magic were just the exact wrong match up and it’s going to cost us the James vs Bryant final we all wanted – not ALL of us I guess, but you know what I mean.
Maybe I’m selling the Cavs short. Maybe they can be the rare breed of team that comes back from down 3 games to 1. They do have home court for 2 of the 3 must win games. The problem is – the games have just been too close to believe the Cavs can find 3 straight wins. I’ll continue to root for the Cavs v Lakers finals (only partially because it’s what I predicted several weeks ago) and enjoy watching Kobe v LeBron.
