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.

You here Fu or is this going to be the most boring bet of all time cause you are never on during the games?

Did you watch any of Orlando's other playoff games?
They played by far their best game of any and still
barely won. Even with Lebron going into panic mode
trying to do everything and wearing himself out by the
4th quarter.

Hitting open jumpers is one thing. Hitting 3's from
the farm house is another. Cleveland will have to play
better defense. And they will.

Is it just me or do the Nuggets look like a much better team than the Lakers but look like deer in the headlight with the lead?

I'm rooting for the Nugs but they're going to find a way to lose.

Do you sleep anymore or have you hit Degen level 39, just playing non-stop?

BTW, I've been watching The Wire, you're a pretty good actor.

LOL I have no job. I resigned last Friday, I sleep till 10 every day, hardly leave the couch other than to get coffee or food or make a feeble attempt to pack my stuff up.

Who am I on the Wire?

They look like a better team to me so far. Not much better but better.

Carmello is taking his game to another level.

Fisher plays 27 minutes and scores 3 pt...he sucks!

Carmellos game is pretty much the same as it has always been. He is just actually putting some effort in on the defensive end for a change

I guess the fact that he is scoring more and shooting a better percentage is just an illusion.

You just like to disagree with me. I like that about you.

I did some research. To borrow your line "do you actually watch the games" Lets check out Carmello's career playoffs stats

Yr Team G GS MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A OFF DEF REB AST STL BLK TO PF pts

Career -- 34 34 38.0 0.427 0.400 0.803 2.6 4.6 7.2 2.8 1.1 0.3 2.91 3.60 23.4
This YR 11 11 38.2 0.500 0.488 0.831 1.7 4.6 6.4 4.3 1.8 0.8 2.09 3.80 28.1

08-09 66 66 34.5 0.443 0.371 0.793 1.6 5.2 6.8 3.4 1.1 0.4 3.02 3.00 22.8


How about against LA lakers?
G GS MPG FG% 3P% FT% OFF DEF REB APG SPG BPG PPG
08-09 4 4 35.3 .328 .200 .733 1.8 6.0 7.8 4.0 1.2 0.5 14.5

Playoffs 2 2 41 .734 .363 .772 3.5 4.0 7.5 4.0 0.5 1.0 36.5

LA owned him this year during the season. Things are different in the playoffs.






What do you think Chuck? Still just defense? What do you say my man?

Yes, they weren't playing Cleveland those games. They shot well all year against Cleveland. Cleveland played well too outside of defense yesterday...only 5 turnovers...48 percent shooting. That's pretty darn efficient. They certainly won't do that every game either. LeBron won't go 20 for 30 every game. Yeah, panic mode. ok. Cleveland cannot guard Howard with anyone on their roster. Varejao is an active player, but he can't guard a guy like Lewis.
