PrintWe finally know when the Cavaliers will get back on the floor in games that matter, well, almost.
The Cavs have been resting, waiting, and getting alot of practice in since last Sunday when they finished off a 4-game sweep of the Detroit Pistons. Their opponent in Round 2 will be the winner of the Hawks/Heat series, currently headed to Game 6 tonight with the Hawks leading 3-2.
When the Cavaliers host Game 1 is yet to be determined. Should the Hawks finish off the Heat tonight in Miami, the Cavaliers and Hawks would play Game 1 this Sunday at The Q. Game 2 would be played Tuesday night, also at The Q.
If the Heat extend the series to a 7th Game, the eventual winner of the series would head to Cleveland for Game 1 on Tuesday Night, with Game 4 on Thursday Night.
What we do know for sure is when Games 3 and 4 are to be played. No matter when the series starts, Game 3 will be played on Saturday and Game 4 on Monday. Given a Tuesday start, that wouldn't actually be too bad, with the first four games coming every other day. Should the Cavs play Sunday/Tuesday, there would be a 3-day layoff between games 2 and 3. Not much fun there at all.
No matter who it is, or when it is played, it is time to start getting amped up for Round 2.
GO CAVS!

This has been a long layoff.
I am suffering from CWS (Cavs Withdrawl Syndrome). Thank God the Bulls/Celtics series has been compelling!
So I told her," I'll be nicer if you try to be smarter!'..That was a mistake.
I actually can't wait for the Bulls/Celtics series to end.
Sure, it’s been a nerve-wrecking, hard-fought odyssey of a series, but do you see a bright postseason for either team? Do you really think whoever emerges from this slugfest will have anything left to beat Orlando, let alone Cleveland? Sure, it’s been fun to watch, but the effort in every game seems so fruitless when you realize neither of these teams have any chance of making it to the NBA finals.
Who wants to face Atlanta in the second round?
They’re a much better defensive team than Miami, and they have more playmakers than Miami. The supporting cast around LeBron is much better than the cast around Dwayne.
Wow, what a close vote — my vote (for Miami) made it 230-230. I’m more scared of Atlanta because they play better defense and are a more complete team (as WO said above). Miami is like the Cavs with LeBron a few years ago — not many playmakers around him (although I do like Mario Chalmers and really wished we drafted him last year; I was begging for the Cavs to take him when they traded for those second round picks).
The only reason I voted for Miami is if Lebron can take out DWade’s offense with his defense if he decides to guard him, what is Miami left with? Our bench and supporting starters can own their’s so that’s my vote. Plus Atlanta is a totally different team at home! I think we would have a better chance of beating the Heat in Miami than the Hawks in Atlanta.

I’d rather see Atlanta, because I think Miami would be too easy to beat. Neither team has a real “big man” presence like the Lakers but I think the Hawks are closer with Horford and Smith than the Heat are with JO. Atlanta forces us to defend in transition which will be very important against the Lakers.

Hey Everyone
I’m bored, it’s a quiet Saturday evening, so I think I’ll live blog game 7 of the Bulls Celtics series. Why? Because…I can.
"No one to block off Kendrick Perkins"
“22 second chance points”… that’s because the Celtics cheat and use their behemoths to grab all the rebounds.
You can tell by now
I don’t think highly of either team, which is probably the only reason why I haven’t gotten sucked into this series and let it play with my heart.
That last sequence was amusing
shot blocked, then a bulls turnover, then a celtics turnover, and a missed last second 3. What a matchup of superb teams. NOT.
This game is getting out of hand
But I’m not complaining. The sooner this game is decided, the less attention I have to pay to it.
More endless mugging by Garnett
You don’t get it, do you Kevin? You’re completely irrelevant, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
I was about to say "this half is ending quickly"
But it’s not. Here comes the endless fouls and timeouts.
Paul Pierce is bleeding again
He has no idea how in over his head he is. Maybe he’ll learn in the next round.
20-2 run for Boston
And guess what Chicago just did. I’ll give you a hint: Derrick Rose has done 27 of these all series.
I can’t wait for this series to be over and for Boston to face a REAL playoff team.
Finally the 1st half is over
Time for dinner. Enough of this stupid game. Neither of these teams are good, neither of these teams will make the Conference Finals, let alone the NBA Finals, so who cares who advances?
Yes they both suck bilge-water
So I told her," I'll be nicer if you try to be smarter!'..That was a mistake.
