Hedo Turkoglu did his part to put a serious damper on the Cavaliers’ season, but in the end, in a video highlight that will be show for decades to come, he played the part of Craig Ehlo as LeBron James buried a 25-foot dagger over the turkish star that Cleveland fans will forever remember.

As great as that was–and no adjective that one would use could fully describe the enormity of that shot, the harsh reality is, the Cavs have major problems going ahead. (sorry to be a party pooper).

They have no answer for the Orlando outside shooters. Those guys aren’t showing any signs of cooling down. Hedo Turkoglu is turning into a household name during this year’s postseason. The Cavs did such a good job of containing Howard, but he wasn’t the first option to begin with. He draws the defenders in due to his mere presence, and just tosses it back open to an open shooter.

Also, the Cavs are blowing big leads. Any feeling of homecourt invincibility, Orlando has completely erased that. They aren’t afraid to come into the Q. The series is tied at 1 apiece. The Cavs will have to find a way to win in the magic kingdom if they are to take one step closer to their ultimate goal.

That’s the diplomatic view, but lets forget all that for a second and just bask in the glory that is KING JAMES! The problems will be there, but sometimes, it’s nice to enjoy the process and the level of greatness we are seeing. Cleveland basketball has never seen anything like this. I don’t even know what to say. I never thought a guy like LeBron James could ever be on MY team, the one I rooted for when Wesley person and Lamond Murray were the “stars.” That seems so long ago now, as those guys are probably munching on their popcorn and watching in amazement now along with the rest of us.
