You’re not hearing a whole lot about LeBron and the Cavs this year. That lack of attention may be just what King James needs to finally get it done in the playoffs. The Cavs have a cakewalk versus the Wizards in the first round, but they had better not get too lax or they could get a surprise in Round 2.
Wade led the Heat to their first championship last year. (Sorry Shaq, but that’s just how it is.) Wade’s return from a separated should gives the Heat a chance to repeat, but it also places big question mark on Wade. Is he really 100 percent, or will his injured shoulder keep the Heat from getting back to the promised land?
If the Warriors are going to beat the Mavericks than their best players really have to be their best players. That means Richardson and Davis need to play the games of their lives. Davis delivered in Game 1 and now he’ll either have to keep it up or get a helping hand from Richardson.
Bryant scored a whopping 39 points in Game 1 versus Phoenix and it was seen as a disappointing performance. For the Lakers to win Kobe may have to get on another 50-point scoring streak. If he can do that he’ll definitely be someone you don’t want to take your eyes off during the playoffs.
The terrible twosome worked together in Denver’s first playoff game and it netted the Nuggets an upset win over the Spurs. Iverson and Anthony are possibly the most dangerous scoring duo in the playoffs this year. If they perform up to their immense potential and get a little help from the Nuggets’ front court, there’s no telling how far Denver might be able to go. These two are also worth watching because you never know when one of them might explode with another temper tantrum.
