Shaquille O’Neal revealed his motto for next season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

“My motto is very simple,” O’Neal said. “‘Win a Ring for the King.”

Shaq knows the Cavaliers are LeBron’s team and he’ll have to play 2nd fiddle if he wants to win another championship.

“It’s LeBron’s team,” he said. “He’s the captain. This is the time in my career where I can fit in. I’m now in the security business. My job is to protect the King, and that’s what I’m here to do.”

The 37-year old center also said that he plans to play 3 more years before calling it a career.

“I have a lot left,” he said. “There’s only four or five good centers in the league and I’m in that number. … I’ve been in it [the NBA] for 17 years but I’ve missed three years because of injury. If you do the math, I’ve still got three years left. You got that?”

Make no mistake about it, the King will get his Ring in 2010.

LeBron James was the happiest guy in the world when he found out the Cleveland Cavaliers traded for Shaquille O’Neal on Thursday.

“Shaq is an incredible ballplayer and a four-time NBA champion,” James said in a statement. “I have a lot of respect for him and his game. It will be a real honor to play with Shaq as my teammates and I look forward to another great season with the Cavs.”

In order to get Shaq the Cavs sent Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic plus a 2nd pick in the 2010 draft and $500,000 to the Phoenix Suns.

“Our goals are aligned with what our players want, including LeBron, and that’s to win a championship and win it next year,” Cleveland GM Danny Ferry said. “We don’t want to be patient. We want to be a team that has sustainable success. We want to be a team like we were this year when if you don’t win a championship you lose some sleep. But at the same time we want to be more than that. We want to be the team that wins it. This was a move made towards putting ourselves in better position next season.”

Although Shaq is 37-years old he is still on of the most dominant players in the NBA when healthy and in shape. With Shaq in the lineup the Cleveland Cavaliers have to be the favorite to win it all next season.

The Orlando Magic will make their first NBA finals appearance since 1995 after they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 103-90 in game 6 on Saturday night to win the the Eastern Conference championship.

“I don’t think people thought we could be at this level,” coach Stan Van Gundy said.

Dwight Howard owned the night with 40 points and 14 rebounds while Rashard Lewis added 18 points and 8 rebounds of his own.

“This team has fought really, really hard,” Van Gundy said. “Our reward is you get to go from preparing for LeBron to preparing for Kobe. I’m not doing that tonight.”

Sports Crunch predicts the Magic will take the championship in game 5 of the finals.

The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Orlando Magic 112-102 against the Orlando Magic in game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.

“They deserved to get this one,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “As poorly as I thought we played, we still were there with chances to win and didn’t get it done. We have to get ready to go on Saturday.”

LeBron James leds the Cavs with 37 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists.

“His intensity and his passion are out of this world,” Cavs guard Daniel Gibson said of LeBron. “We will follow him. When he gets it going, there is nothing you can do.”

Game 6 will happen in Orlando on Saturday night.

The Orlando Magic survived overtime to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 116-114 on Tuesday night to go up 3-1 in the Eastern Conference finals.

“We’ve got to have the killer instinct if we want to win a championship,” Magic center Dwight Howard said. “We’re not done yet. We’ve got to finish it.”

Dwight Howard led the Magic with 27 points and 14 rebounds while Rafer Alston added 26 points. Rashard Lewis and Mickael Pietrus both added 17 points of their own.

“I had to get myself going. My teammates found me in the right place to score and I kept scoring,” Dwight Howard said after the overtime victory. “I hate losing, especially on my home floor. We kept fighting for the win.”

Unless LeBron James is able to clone himself in time for Game 5 on Thursday night, the Cavaliers don’t have a chance in hell.

Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals 99-89 on Sunday night taking a 2-1 lead in the series.

“We just kept fighting. That’s what we got to do, we fight to the end,” Howard said. “We can’t worry about nothing, we can’t worry about the calls, can’t worry about nobody else. We just got to get out there and play.”

Howard led his team with 24 points but Hedo Turkoglu was a huge part of the victory with 10 rebounds and 7 assists.

At this point it’s hard imagining the Cavaliers winning another game this series.

“We just need to man up,” LeBron James said. “Orlando is a very, very good team.”

Game 4 will be on Tuesday night in Orlando.

For the first time in this years NBA postseason the Cavaliers have lost a game. The Orlando Magic traveled to Cleveland and beat them on their home court 107-106 in game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals opener.

“It’s a big victory,” Orlando star Dwight Howard said. “We kept fighting the whole game. We kept believing we could win.”

Howard led the Magic with 30 points and 13 rebounds while Rashard Lewis added 22 and Hedo Turkoglu added another 15 including 14 assists.

At halftime it looked like the Cavs were going to dominate the night with a 15-point lead but the Magic rallied in the 2nd half.

“You got to play 48 minutes,” Lewis said. “The most important thing is to play 48 minutes. We played only one half but it was the second half.”

League MVP LeBron James was as dominant as always with 49 points but in the final minutes he was clearly exhausted and not playing at %100 from carrying the Cavs on his shoulders for the entire game.

LeBron is amazing, but he can’t do it all by himself. If one of his teammates don’t step it up the Cavaliers will lose this series.

The Cleveland Cavaliers sweeped the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals after winning game 4 84-74 on Monday night.

“We’re glad to finish this series off,” said Cavs’ guard Wally Szczerbiak. “Now it’s time to go get our rest and get ready for the next series. We have some bumps and bruises to heal from in this series.”

After the game, LeBron James didn’t feel like celebrating.

“Why should we celebrate?” James said. “We’re playing for a championship. An advance is an advance. It doesn’t matter if you win in four games or you win Game 7. We’re happy that we’re playing great basketball … but we’re not taking for granted what we’re doing right now.”

Next up the Cavs will face either the Boston Celtics or the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference finals, and don’t be surprised if they sweep their opponent yet again.

The Cleveland Cavaliers continued their dominance over Atlanta Hawks 105-85 on Thursday night to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal.

After the game LeBron James identified Cleveland’s key to success.

“Defense,” James said after the game. “That has been us throughout the whole series and the whole playoffs. When we get D stops it’s easy to execute on offense.

The Cavaliers will travel to Atlanta for game 3 on Saturday.

“We are a confident ballclub, we believe we can win on the road as well as at home,” James said. “It will be a hostile environment, but we know we can handle that.”
