Just put the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals already

The Cavaliers played the professional version of Pop-A-Shot Wednesday night.

Led by J.R. Smith's six triples in the first half, a Cavs record for an individual, they hit an NBA record 25 3-pointers, on their way to a 123-98 Game 2 win against the Hawks, who were humbled after playing gallantly in a losing effort two nights before.

We're only two games in and this Eastern Conference semifinals series is over. If we're keeping it a buck (100 that is) so are the Eastern Conference Finals. As much as ESPN, which will air the ECF exclusively, wants you to believe in the Heat or the Raptors, it's a foregone conclusion.
