The Flip Murray acquisition has to go down as one of the all time best pick-ups and with Larry Hughes coming back just in time and Verjao getting some valuable minutes while Z recuperates from a sprained ankle, the Cavs are aligning themselves quite well for the playoffs.
I don't see Miami as being that much better than us unless Shaq and Mourning are both at 100%. Even then I see the minutes Verjao is getting now as being incredibly important once the playoffs start.
That still leaves New Jersey and Detroit as two formidable opponents but at this point, nothing will surprise me, including the Cavs making it to the NBA Championship finals and none of whatever happens would have been possible without the Flip Murray mid-season pick up.
