Apologies for being a day late with this, but travel headaches arose yesterday as flights to Newark had to be reworked so I could arrive in time to cover the game.
No real surprises in this week's power rankings from those writers who relish delving into this type of minutae. From ESPN's Marc Stein:
If the Cavs have Shaq back for the last three rounds of the playoffs -- in reasonable shape, of course -- they'll be fine. In the interim? Can't wait to see the encore after they averaged (no misprint) 107.5 ppg in February.They remain at No. 2 in Stein's rankings, but if the team continues to win in its current incarnation, look for them to eventually move up.
