Cavs-Magic Preview Game 1 NBA Conference Finals 2009

When I think about a series I think about matchups:

Can they get Rashard Lewis into the game that he´s able to play the game from behind the three-point line, that´s the biggest question.Barkley thinks that the Orlando Magic have a more balanced attakc they know how to get the ball down to the paint to D12 so that he can be such a dominant player down in the post. To be honest with you I don`t think that there are many people in this league who can really challenge him, just because of his physical stature and his athletisism

 

 

 

Big Z is more talented offensive minded player, but not as phisical as the other guys were who played against him down on that post area.

The biggest thing Z has to do is getting him away from the bucket cause he knows that he´s not as strong and fast (atheltic) than dwight howard is so D12 is able to overpower him down there.

But allthough Big Z is able to spread the floor around the bucket with his outside shooting skills which are quite good for a man this tall. all in all he knows that he will be tested. they should start to limit him from scoring. he´s a good part of that puzzle and knows how to be effective for the team

Mo Williams:

He could be the key guy in this matchup cause he´s able to give you a all around play evry single night.He ´s the one beside Lebron who can create shots for others. He´s able to be the guy that lebron can count on when he gets to the bench to get some rest.

With his quickness and shooting ability he ´s able to decide a game in the final minutes or even create some sort of tourning point throughout the game with his will and hustle plays. He says that he´s carried by the intensity and will that Lebron brings to the table every single night and in practise he and the whole team knows that they will be able to win the champoinship with a good mixture of teamplay and defensive intensity.

Lebron James:

We know that he´s able to carry the team on his shoulders and getting others pumped up and focused

I think you might be bored by Lebron so am I I think through this playoff series the cavs have been run through it was simply to easy for Lebron to get the job done every single night on the one hand on the other you should still know that there´s is simply nobody so far to really put pressure on him cause of his phisical stature for his position as I always mention and his all round playing ability.In this Game the cavs and Lebron will be tested and Lebron is know limmited in his playing abitlities. In this matchup he faces the DPOTY Dwight Howard who is able to linit him from scoring down in the paint like no other. So the others schoulb be able not to get him down low so Lebron has to be able to get his outside shooting going. But up there he has to face some other guys who also know how to play against him.

Hedo:

He´s able to spread the floor with his 3 point shooting ability to get back to the point of head to head matchups that´s hedo is simply to quick for bigger players and he also has the ability to get other people involved with his all around play and his passing abilities he showed in the last game vs Boston and even throughout the regualr season.

Magic are the best 3-point shooting team in the league and they will shoot and will when they are open. The main problem is that the cavs aren´t able to limit all those waepons from scoring. If this three point shooting is not going well they still have a dominant pressence down low to get the job done gor them, so there playbook seems to be very simple Get the ball in and out. The Cavs should be able to limit them from scoring with their defensive intensity but they can´t put bodies on all of them.
FITNESS:

The cavs are more rested and ready to play the magic on wednesday they were able to rest their bodies just because they are 8-0 through the playoffs. They are able to play with full power which also carried them over the atlanta hawks

To round everything up I think that the Cavs have the oppertunity to win the whole series just because they are more rested than the opponent but it will not be easy for them the will be tested for the first time throughout this playoffs and they still have The King who simply is able to do everything.

But don´t count of the Orlando Magic behind D12 who won´t be tested that much than before just on the physicall level so he will be able to play with his full power beside their great defensive power the games would reach the plus 100 points mark and that´s what Im looking forward to cause every team on every side has to work hard to get their points. The Magic are able to win it all cause of their more ballanced attack…

There ís also a high confidence level  for the Magic who realized that they have beaten the last years NBA Champion  coming into the next game.
