EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - MAY 18: Zydrunas Ilgauskas #11 of the Cleveland Cavaliers reacts to a play against the New Jersey Nets during Game Six of the Eastern Conference Semifinals during the 2007 NBA Playoffs on May 18, 2007 at the Continental Airlines Arena in the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Reserve center Zydrunas Ilgauskas may have played his last game in Cleveland as a member of the Cavaliers. Following a Game 5 beatdown at the hands of the Celtics, Ilgauskas may be one step closer to leaving the city as a free agent, a scenario fans have been dreading all season.

"It would be the end of an era," said Andre Phelps, 29, of suburban Cleveland. "Ilgauskas leaving would totally change the landscape of this team.......as far as our third string center goes."

Ilgauskas remains non-commital when pressed about the issue.

"Right now, I'm worried about beating Boston in Game 6," said the Cavaliers big man. "I came to this city and to this team to prove I can win a title here. Of course I'll get out of town as fast as I can if I fall short of that goal, but hopefully it doesn't come to that."

The earlier the playoff exit, the more likely Ilgauskas will leave to get that elusive championship ring, say worried fans. Despite that fear, Ilgauskas says there is absolutely no reason to panic.

"As long as I play my game and Lebron averages say, 35, 15 and 12 for the rest of the playoffs, fans should have nothing to worry about."
