Our game against the Cavs has to be the mustest musts of must wins of the season! Yeah, I said it, "mustest"!

It might be that but the Heat had won 6 in a row. I think the Cleveland game is like a playoff game for them. The Celts may still be getting over losing Perkins. That was a big trade and he was a big part of that team.

The Celtics lost Perkins and Nate right? That's hardly a major turnover of the roster like we had. I know Perkins gave them something important but that team should be able to handle his loss. No one should feel sorry for the C's that's for sure. I didn't like that trade for them. I thought it made little sense given how much they need him if they get to the finals again. But in the regular season his loss shouldn't be an excuse for that team.

The Heat winning games may have setup a trap game for them. They could've been overconfident.

The only team that could take the Lakers out is Dallas and even THAT's a stretch.

I agree, but I think if they play Portland in the 1st rd they may get into some trouble. I still think they're the favorites though.

When LeBron James' name was called during the introductions at Tuesday's Heat-Cavs game at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena, LeBron didn't appear on the court.

James later entered the court when the lights were down for the Cavs' introductions.

During the broadcast on NBA TV, Kevin McHale said he'd never seen anything like that before in an NBA game.

In his post-game interview, James explained that he was using the restroom during the introductions.
