Cleveland is preparing to play the winner of the series between Atlanta and Miami and will enter the series with a lot of confidence regardless.
"It's not like we're preparing for a Shaq [O'Neal] and a Kobe [Bryant], a guard and a big man," said Mo Williams. "We know with Miami it starts and ends with D-Wade, and with Atlanta it starts and ends with Joe Johnson. It's two guards that do a lot for the team."

Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry was asked in an interview with WKNR in Cleveland whether or not he is worried about the team's time off.
Cleveland completed a first-round sweep of Detroit on Sunday, and are still waiting for the Miami-Atlanta series to conclude.
"Less chance of getting hurt first of all, that's the way I look at it from a crisis management standpoint, but we've dealt with this before," Ferry said. "We played Washington a couple years ago, got a sweep, and had some time off and we handled it fine, we handled it well. This is a group that works, they'll get themselves prepared. They'll get some good sweats in over the next few days and they'll be ready to go."
