Bring on the Next Victim

CLEVELAND - With the magnificent LeBron James displaying his MVP credentials all series long, the Cleveland Cavaliers were never in danger of losing to the Atlanta Hawks.

Last night, the Cleveland boys put the ATL out of their misery.

With last night's 84-74 victory over Atlanta, James and his mates earned their second straight series sweep and the right to face either Orlando or defending champion Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Celtics and Magic are tied, 2-2.

So thorough was the Cavs and their megastar James in their four-game romp that last night's 10-point victory seemed paltry by comparison to earlier routs in this series. LeBron of course sliced and murdered the Hawks' defense and is now averaging a sick and twisted 32.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists in eight playoff games this year thus far.

Sheeesh!

I feel bad for whomever emerges from the Celtics-Magic series. These Cavs are clearly on a mission and can't be stopped. Of course, having an alien like LeBron helps their cause a little.

Kind of.
