NBA Playoffs

I really hope Cleveland doesn't blow this. I'm really looking forward to a showdown between the two best players in basketball.
























Lebron and Melo

Just stand still Dwight, you had position, don't jump. Lebron is sick.

LOL. the great Delonte West.

Great game. Could have gone either way. I think Van gundy made some adjustments at half time that really made the difference including the way they attacked the lebron zone and halfcourt traps.

Obviously, Cleveland's perimeter shooters will do a better job in hitting the open shots in the subsequent games. A couple of interesting stats:

- cleveland's bench was outscored 25-5 and all five points came from joe smith.

- orlando shot 55% from the field.



Interesting what charles barkley said just now. "cleveland tried to hide lebron on defense against rafer alston." LOL

I suppose you are referring to the big 3 with 1:17?

No more the 4-13 shooting wide open jumpers and the brick he threw up with the game on the line. He did what i expected though...11 pts.

like i said above

Delonte West may not be many things. But he plays pretty good defense no matter what his assignment regardless of his brick tonight.

He is gritty. I would have him on my team...coming off the bench.

This means absolutely nothing.
West fits perfectly with the Cleveland group.
They are better when he and Mo Williams are on
the floor with Lebron. They move the ball around
much better. ANd play better D.

Maybe Lebron will stop the one on one crap
for extended periods. Pick his spots. Cleveland
is better than Orlando. Orlando is going to have to
continue to knock down those 3's to win this.

Lewis and Turkeyglue cannot continue to shoot this well
for an entire series.

I'm not sure what makes you say that. Head to head Orlando's won 9 of the last 12 meetings. Yeah, yeah, regular season is different. But yesterday's game looked just like the regular season games. They can't matchup with anyone on that team. Basing winning a series on hoping a team's shooters start missing shots is not a good basis. Orlando did win 59 games this year.

The best the Magic have played this year.........we have a hell'uva series unfolding here.

I didn't see Labron get hurt....what happened to him?

[horseofcourse]

What city are they from?? Cleveland. End of story. Bad matchup for Cleveland all the way around. Orlando has dominated them the last 3 years. Just because it's the playoffs doesn't magically mean Cleveland can suddenly match up with them.

They got beat thats what happened to him. Kobe has a finger issue whenever the lakers start losing. Its quite fashionable you know.

Next game when he throws in 40, he is even more of a stud because he did it while nursing an injury.
