I have a lot of love for Orlando. Yes, they are dominating the playoffs and yes they look great...

But look who they have played.... Charlotte and now Atl (which held their own last night) and yes they did beat Boston and Cleveland last year but each year is different. This years Cleveland team is not the same as last year. They are much tougher and much deeper this year. As for Boston, I think they lost a bit of that spark they had last year.

Now, I'm not trying to say they don't deserve any credit, hell, I don't think they are underdogs whatsoever. I just don't think the competition they have faced so far in this playoff have been challenging.
