Tough Side to call.
You have the more motivated Cleveland (you don't want to go 1-3) versus arguably the better Team (Orlando has a bench and is thus a team. Cleveland has 1 guy) and they are at home.
Always take the more motivated team, but in this case Clev might not have the horses to pull it off.
Pass.

CLeveland has a great bench, Mike Brown has underutilized them in this series for some reason. If you look at the other two series the Cavs were in, they received a good amount of playing time.
CLE-Wallace, Pavlovic, Gibson, Smith, Szczerbiak (didnt even play last game)
ORL-Pietrus & Redick, last game Redick didnt even play and the only players to get significant time off the bench were Pietrus & Gortat
imo, Brown is failing at utilizing "fresh legs". All of the starters have played too much. Where has that got them? Put some damn bench players in once in a while, they all have playoff experience before this year.

come on now....we know that the NBA is all about matchups. Sczerbiak aint playing cuz he can't guard a brick wall. That's why Pavlovic is in there but he's getting abused as well.
Orlando has been owning the Cavs all year long.....Rashard particularly, but also Hedo and Pietrus create HUGE mismatches for the Cavs D.
