Up 3-1 the Cleveland Cavaliers are a game away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. They haven't accomplished this feat in 15 years. Despite their lead in the series Cleveland can't get cocky or underestimate the potent veteran-oriented New Jersey Nets. Lead by All-Stars, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd they could go on a resurgent run and make a comeback. These guys have no quit in them either and will battle until the final seconds.
Lebron James took over in Game 4 in New Jersey with a 30-point performance, adding 9 rebounds and 7 assists. If not for veteran guard Eric Snow's timely defensive stop on Vince Carter with under 10 seconds left in the game Cleveland may have not squeaked by, 87-85. The game would've most likely went into OT. The Cavs will have the home fans fully behind them when they return for Game 5.
The alternative scoring options in Larry Hughes and Sasha Pavlovic had worked well for the young team. They've must continue to be consistent and relieve Lebron from offensive duties. Staying focused and not trying to relax or get 'soft' is most important for the Cavs. Getting out to an early lead and carrying it through halftime will be a big advantage. They get feed off the energy and emotion from the crowd, which also play a big part too. Go Cavs!
