On the contrary Darth, I believe it is urgent. Yeah we can win games 5 and 6, and definitely 7 if it happens to go that far, but why sweat it? This series needs to be done by Wednesday as we don't want Shaq or ZO getting any rest while we are still playing on Friday. Plus the more rope you give the Cavs, the more confidence they get and the unforced possibilities can happen, like Rip or CB going down with a severe injury in game 5 or 6 that turns the series in the Cavs favor
. My theory is that all games are
urgent until you have
3 W's and your opponent has only 0 or 1.
