The magic are almost 6/1 to win the series , boy that's a nice price no?

yes, it all boils down to the prefix to Cavaliers. It still says "Cleveland". That is a massive burden to overcome regardless of how good they may be. Orlando matches up better against Cleveland better than anyone in the league other than perhaps LA. I would have much preferred to play the Garnett and Powe-less Celtics.

Told you. Cleveland can't play that team. Just because it's the Eastern Conference finals doesn't mean that magically they can match up with them. They got drilled both games in Orlando this year and won a nail biter in Cleveland. Tonight was another nail bighter in Cleveland and they didn't get lucky this time. That's all it takes for Orlando to win the series. No way will Cleveland win a game in Orlando. Magic in 6.

I've been following Cleveland sports for 37 years very closely. Ok...so they get by this series...big deal they then lose the next one. It's all moot.

They needed a game like this. You know they are going to win game 2, and I think they can absolutely win a game in Orlando. The series just started.

I hope Cleveland loses too. I've seen no championships in the city in 43 years of living. I really deserve to see none. So yeah, I really hope they lose. I really know they'll win game 2?? LIke I knew they'd win game 1?? Is that how it works?

in all fairness, that game could have gone either way. Cleveland had the lead with 14 seconds left. Lewis hits a big shot, West misses a shot he hit 1 minute earlier and now we are talking about cleveland winning A GAME on the road.

It doesn't matter...even if they get by this series...there is a next series.

You really don't understand. IF Cleveland gets to the finals, they could be up 3 games to none with a 20 point lead going into the 4th quarter of game 4. I would not be confident they could win the series. Cleveland's last game of this season will be a loss. I don't care where or when.

Scrambler, i hope you are right. It may not be this year, but number 23 will win championships. He is a force the likes of which the nba has not seen.

You sound just like a Philly fan... Its really hard but when you get there (which you will) its just so great.

And I also eat a big slice of crow for saying Cavs will sweep and O-town has no shot.

Howard acts like a baby though. And I do agree a little with A-team that the refs root for the Cavs.
