Lebron James had 27 points in a 84-74 win over the Hawks Monday night.
The rest of the team let their presence be known also. Delonte West had 21 points, Moe Williams had 12 on 3 pointers, and Ilgauskas had 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Whatever, once they get Boston in the next round and the Lakers or Rockets in the Finals they will be tested. Because really there has been nothing in these two series to test good this team. No one who can challenge LeBron, it's not really that good. Now for the real test

Are you still sticking to the Lakers win it all thing?
Give it up.
Cavs got it in the bag.

I'm going with the winners of the Lakers-Rockets, which I think the Lakers will win so yes. I still think the Lakers can because they have the perfect guy who slow down or possibly stop LeBron and thats Kobe. Than I'm still convinced that they have no one who can stop Odom. I think the Lakers can win and they will and the Rockets thats even a worse match-up

bears, have you watched Lebron? The guy is unbelievable. Kobe is nowhere near him in star performance.
Lebron runs to the paint, stops, shoots, and whoosh. Every time.

Yeah I have and I believe he's doing this against Joe Johnson and Tyshaun Prince. Kobe is first team all-defense and he made LeBron the LeBron he is today by pushing him the way he did this Summer in the Olympics.

You can't put a defensive speciallist on LeBron because than LeBron can take breaks on defense but than you can't put a just scorer on LeBron because he will eat them alive on the other side of the court. So boom you have Kobe to guard who is perfect for this task. Plus who is guarding Lamar Odom he will run wild.

IF Kobe manages to corral LeBron, the rest of the Cavs will step up.

The only way the Cavs win because Kobe will corral LeBron is if Mo Williams just goes off every game. Because the Lakers point guards arent good, you have Derek Fisher who at this point in his career his job should being playing golf with young guys and telling them how to handle themselves through the playoffs and he's their starting point guard and then Shannon Brown is coming off the bench and he is ok. So if Mo Williams plays insanely well they could win, but that series will be his real first playoff test so I dont think he could be superstar level. So Kobes defense takes out LeBron and big series from Odom will get the Lakers the win. That is if they survive the Rockets. Keep them in mind too

Hmm, I see some kind of bet or something coming on here if the Cavs and Lakers meet.

Hmm, I would take that bet for Cavs-Rockets as well. But because I'm 99% that untestedness will kill the Cavs in the Finals
