Since I am in Ohio, Dayton to be exact, its time to talk about the Cavaliers. They came up short because they had no supporting cast. A Jaimison came up woefully short. He was supposed to be the missing link and got abused by KG down low and had some very bad luck on his shots. Everything that could go wrong did for him and for Mo Williams as well. By the way, where was Delonte West? He usually plays fairly tough in the clutch. The big matchup now will be how well an old Kevin Garnett can keep up with Rashard Lewis. I think he may be a tad slow on the switches and going through screens. Speaking of switching, Steve Nash abused Tim Duncan every time he switched on him. San Antonio played hard but lost. Ginoboli was never the same since he broke his nose.
I look for a rested Orlando to take it to Boston. It would sure be fun to see another Celtics Lakers series. The Lakers are coming on and if they stay healthy, they seem to have the length and the talent. Point guard is a weakness, but Fisher is playing really well when it counts. What seperates these good teams from the pack is they can play and win at any pace. Certain teams can only win when they run...like the old Phoenix Suns. This Suns team has early offense, but is not necessarily a fast break, transition team like Dallas. Teams that rely on running only, like this years Houston Rockets can win, but if its the least bit off, they cannot score consistently in the half court to win in the playoffs.

Part 2 of Gino and the Gassers strange saga of Rock and Roll will be coming soon. The Dayton Airport is the greatest. This is the first time I have seen other flights there. I have heard they have lost over 300k jobs. God Bless Dayton.
