Magic-Cavaliers Preview By BRETT HUSTON Posted Apr 10 2010 3:05PM It was far from a sure thing that the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic would meet in last season's conference finals, but a rematch to decide the East next month seems almost inevitable. Any playoff intensity in the burgeoning rivalry, however, may have to wait. LeBron James may be held out of a third straight game along with teammates Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison, but Orlando figures to go full steam ahead Sunday afternoon as the East's top two teams conclude their regular-season series at Quicken Loans Arena. The conference's third seed heading into the 2009 playoffs, the Magic (56-23) took out a Boston team that was without Kevin Garnett before shocking the Cavaliers (61-19) in the Eastern finals. They'll enter the 2010 playoffs as heavy favorites to meet for the conference title, and they've played three intense games so far this season - two of which were won by Cleveland. The top-seeded Cavaliers don't have much to gain Sunday. Cleveland clinched the league's best record last weekend and after beating Toronto on Tuesday, it has rested James in the past two games. Mo Williams scored a season-high 35 points in a 109-108 loss at Chicago on Thursday before he and Antawn Jamison (ankle) joined James on the bench for a 116-113 home loss Friday against Indiana. Earlier this week, coach Mike Brown referred to the Cavaliers' remaining schedule as "high-level practice." Brown hasn't ruled out sitting James for the team's final two games, and Williams and Jamison could follow. "There's a chance,'' Brown said. "I talked about that with my staff and I talked about it a little bit with LeBron, too. We'll take that one game at a time and see how it goes.'' There's at least a little more incentive for Orlando to play its starters Sunday despite being locked into the East's No. 2 seed. The Magic and Los Angeles Lakers are tied for the league's second-best record, meaning home-court advantage is still up for grabs should the teams meet again in the NBA finals. After Dwight Howard and Vince Carter scored 25 points apiece in a 118-103 win over the New York Knicks on Friday, Carter was busy looking ahead. "This is really the first time in my career that I've worried about home-court advantage throughout the whole thing," Carter told the Magic's official Web site. "My thing is approach (the last three games) the same way. If we win all the games, everything else will fall into place." Coach Stan Van Gundy made his thoughts on resting his starters abundantly clear. would be why? For what reason? These guys have been playing all year. They get days off. "I'd hate to be sitting there in the finals going, 'You know what? We would have had a shot at this if I didn't rest so-and-so for no damn reason." Howard averaged 25.8 points and 13.0 rebounds against Cleveland in the East finals, but has been held to 17.3 points and 11.3 boards per game against Shaquille O'Neal and the Cavaliers this season. It was initially thought that O'Neal, who's been out since late February with a sprained thumb, might return Sunday to get some work before the playoffs, but Brown said that's unlikely. That leaves Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Anderson Varejao - the same duo the reigning Defensive Player of the Year dominated last spring - to take their shots at guarding Howard. ----------------------------------------------------------- 簡單的翻騎士會不會上場的重點，其他看有人有人要翻譯的 (丟google翻譯也很快啦，我都丟那裏直接看) 偷懶.... http://translate.google.com.tw/# 這一周，Mike Brown提到了接下來跟 " 高等級 "的比賽計畫。 Mike Brown並沒有排除 LBJ 在球隊最後兩場比賽不上場 Mo 跟 Jamison也可能跟著不上場 Mike Brown跟工作人員和 LBJ在討論，接下來兩場要不要出場比賽的事情有一個選擇，就是不上垃圾時間跟比賽進展如何意思就是說，在比賽穩贏跟穩輸的情況下，主力就去休息就給其他人練習就好 ------------------------------ 起初以為大歐自從二月姆指扭傷，大概在這一場比賽進入季後賽之前會好。但是Mike Brown 說這是不可能的所以大z 跟米粉頭還是要跟去年季後賽一樣，守住豪沃德了希望他們防守有進步可以守好 @ @ (我突然覺得，大歐這一季不是磨合期，不然就在受傷休息....) 這樣季後賽真的配合得起來嗎.....?? 也只好在季後賽再看看吧.......
