Williams Confident Despite Series Deficit
Quote:
ORLANDO -- With the Cleveland Cavaliers trailing the Orlando Magic two games to one, you might think the Cavs, ultraconfident all year long, have been swagger-jacked.
But on the eve of Tuesday's Game 4, they were still talking bravely, especially their smallest man.
Wearing stunna shades to cover up the four stitches, two cuts and a black eye he received thanks to an Anthony Johnson elbow in Game 3, Mo Williams gave assurances that the Cavaliers are still Finals-bound.
"We're the best team in basketball," Williams said, speaking before a team meeting and film session. (The Cavs didn't practice.) "They deserve respect; they're a good team. But we're the best team in basketball."
An Orlando television reporter followed by asking Williams, "So if you're the best team in basketball … is it an almost-guarantee that you're going to win this series?"
Williams didn't back off his loaded comment.
"Guarantee we're going to win the series?" he said, repeating the reporter's question. "Yeah, yeah. We're down 1-2, but there's nobody on this team -- and definitely not myself -- that thinks we're not going to win this series. Yeah, it's going to be tough. We know that. We get this game tomorrow, go home, we still have home-court advantage, and I don't see us losing two out of three at home."
