The Cavs seem to be the favorite since they play in their home arena, and they already beat the Lakers a month ago. However, both teams have been performing well lately, considering the Lakers have won 8 of their last 10 games while the Cavs have won 7 of their last 10 games. So, this game should be more interesting and more competitive. I wonder if the Cavs will be able to hold off LeBron and Davis this time.
Who knows what's happened with Davis, is he sick? He only played 8 minutes and Ham said he had a fever. It's a big loss for the Lakers considering how he's played in recent games. Definitely the team missed him in the game with the Cavaliers, I hope that he will recover quickly and return to the game as soon as possible, in recent games he showed how important he is for the team.
He is actually sick as reported, down with flu, he still try to play, however, his body is not cooperating and he has to take a sit and rest throughout the game. And as he is their best scorer, they've lost the game.
But still good though, at least Davis didn't force himself, otherwise if might have a bad effect on him in the long run. And hopefully he will be back in their next game, fully rested and healthy again. Yes, I do agree that he is very important to the team as his recent numbers will tell.
