Finished

The Cavs are finished. Done, baked, cooked, lifeless, (fill in your own word).

They might (and should) win Game 5 in Cleveland, but they won't win Game 6 when the series goes back to Orlando. The Magic proved that after LeBron, this Cavs team has nothing. They are letting LeBron get his 40 points a night and daring the rest of the Cavs to do anything.

LeBron is a great player, but he can't team the team on his shoulders. He is not at fault for this. The man is averaging close to 40 points a game. During the post game interviews, (while wearing a shirt he stole from one of Orlando's homeless) you could tell LeBron was tired of having to do it all.

Think about it - if his shot at the buzzer at the end of Game 2 doesn't fall, the Magic would be planning a trip to Los Angeles or Denver today. The Magic have outplayed the Cavs game after game.

All of this brings up an interesting point - will LeBron leave Cleveland after next year? If the Cavs do not win a championship before the end of next season, LeBron will be playing in either New York, New Jersey (because of his pal Jay Z), Chicago, or Los Angeles. I believe his desire to win a championship is far greater than his love of money. I think LeBron would sign for less to ensure that he wins a title.

Imagine LeBron and Kobe on the same team or Amar'e and LeBron in New York or New Jersey. What if LeBron and Dwyane Wade decide to take discounts and meet up in Chicago?

This season is over for Cleveland. They had better prove to LeBron that they want to pursue a title or he'll walk out to greener pastures.
