Oh Magic, way to not disappoint!

Technical on Mike Brown to end the half, :lol .

 

[Cloudy]

Dwight's dribble-move has really improved and you can't double him cos of the 3pt threats. They seem like the tougher matchup for LA but I'd rather face them cos of HCA and fair calls from the refs..

 

[Vestal]

I am hoping to see atleast some final run from the Cavs, I mean they got the MVP they must have a 10-0 run in em.

120 million...............was downstairs eating so i couldn't post that

 

[Darkman M]

James scoreless in the 2nd.

Best in the game period

 

[Ephemeris]

This shit is mind boggling. Seriously fucking stupid.

This. :/

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

You shut your fucking mouth theta.

 

[jman2050]

The Lakers-Age contingent is a lot of things, but they're all pretty good about giving credit to other teams, even if they have to inflate the Lakers themselves to do it.

Also good half for the Magic, but there's no way this is over as long as these are the Magic we're talking about.

 

[alr1ght]

fml. Can't stop the magic if they're hitting shots. No one showed up on the Cavs.

 

[charsace]

Some lakers fans seem not to realize the Magic are a worse match up for them than the cavs are.

 

[NewLib]

James proves his own big flaw once again: he doesn't have the jumper like Kobe to fall back on when he isnt getting the foul calls.

 

[Esperado]

It looks like the Cavs are already playing desperate. I think it's over.

 

[jman2050]

Some lakers fans seem not to realize the Magic are a worse match up for them than the cavs are.

Honestly the Lakers are capable of beating either team, and they actually have the size to compete with Dwight, if not the strength.

If the Magic hold out it's gonna be one hell of a series though.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Damn, will LeBron pack his bags to leave Cleveland if they lose today?

 

[BobLoblaw]

Some lakers fans seem not to realize the Magic are a worse match up for them than the cavs are.

They'll find that out in about 2 weeks. Let them have their joy for now, though.

Confirmed: Kobe >>> Lebron

no, he proved his real big flaw
his team blows

 

[samus4ever]

As much as I would love to see Lebron vs. Kobe, I would love the Magic being in the finals.

 

[NewLib]

no, he proved his real big flaw

That's true, but he had open looks.

 

[charsace]

They are going to have to double Howard. He is too strong, quick, and fast for anyone on the Lakers to guard 1 on 1. Turk and Rashad are also match up nightmares.

Can you all stop this Kobe>Lebron shit because he really isn't.

 

[K.Jack]

Howard is being guarded by Z and Wallace guys. Easy.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Dwight Howard is going to eat Paula Gasol and Andrea Bynum for breakfast.

Sorry bro, Gasol and Bynum were already eaten for lunch by Nene and Martin.

Nuggets in 5.

 

[NomarTyme]

Some lakers fans seem not to realize the Magic are a worse match up for them than the cavs are.

We know.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Sorry bro, Gasol and Bynum were already eaten for lunch by Nene and Martin.

Nuggets in 5.

Bynum had a single OK game against the Nuggets. One. He sucks.

 

[Cloudy]

I would rather lose fair and square than get robbed by the Bron-loving refs..

 

[NewLib]

I think the Lakers are going to win the series, but did you just compare Dwight Howard to Nene and Martin?

 

[Future PhaZe]

The comparing of players between the Magic and Lakers is a tired argument. The Lakers are talented enough to matchup with any team in the league.

It comes down to execution. Rotating off of double teams is a part of execution. We'll see what happens on Thursday.

 

[charsace]

Howard is being guarded by Z and Wallace guys. Easy.

If the guy guarding Howard isn't Yao Howard will dominate them. Yao is the only player that consistently outplays Howard. Everyone else Howard will get a double/double on.

Howard is going to take Bynum's manhood.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Bynum had a single OK game against the Nuggets. One. He sucks.

I know and as a result the Nuggets are in the Finals.

 

[alr1ght]

Where oh where has my little Mo gone? Where oh where could he be?

 

[KolosLazar16]

Some lakers fans seem not to realize the Magic are a worse match up for them than the cavs are.

Not a single laker fan has said the magic are a better matchup than the cavs (that i've seen)

 

[Outcast2004]

This shit is mind boggling. Seriously fucking stupid.

I just can't grasp why Brown keeps letting his players do the SAME mistake that's cost the
all series. That being, leaving their perimeter shooters WIDE FUCKING OPEN to drain 3's at their leisure.

It's ridiculous and it's like none of them bothered to watch a single bit of game film from the previous 5 games.

I'm pissed about the way they play Orlando.

Let Howard get his points and keep man coverage on the real threats that are constantly camped on the 3 point curve.

GOD DAMN YOU BROWN, GET CONTROL OF YOUR TEAM, YOU PUSSY!

Your lack of coaching has cost Cleveland this series and the title.

 

[Baby Milo]

i remember a long time ago the nuggets were a terrible matchup for the lakers

 

[jman2050]

If the guy guarding Howard isn't Yao Howard will dominate them. Yao is the only player that consistently outplays Howard. Everyone else Howard will get a double/double on.

Howard is going to take Bynum's manhood.

Kendrick Perkins did a pretty nice job on him in the semis, though he isn't nearly the offensive beast Yao is.

 

[charsace]

[Darkman M]

Not if he's in foul trouble, and if you look back at the regular series game between the lakers and Orlando howard didn't do us in Nelson did.

 

[Ephemeris]

Where oh where has my little Mo gone? Where oh where could he be?

I actually felt confident he would have shown up in the 1st. :/

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I think the Lakers are going to win the series, but did you just compare Dwight Howard to Nene and Martin?

No, I didn't.

I'm just sick of all the ballyhoo at the start of every new series of what <X Player>is gonna do to the Lakers.

Whatevers...new series.

I'll just wait and see what happens, tyvm.

 

[Meier]

Feeling good abaout our chances. At a bar so I am out of pocket for this one. Dwight wants it bad.

 

[Branduil]

Magic are the better defensive team compared to LA. They don't have a dominant offensive weapon like Kobe but they have a lot of scorers and score inside and out.

I'll say Magic in 6.

 

[strikeselect]

If Cavs lose, Wade will remain the lone superstar from the 03 draft class to win a chip and Finals MVP.


Go Magic. One more half to go before Wade and Heat fans can pop the champagne!

 

[Darkman M]

No, I didn't.

I'm just sick of all the ballyhoo at the start of every new series of what <X Player>is gonna do to the Lakers.

"This team is beating Denver?"

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I know and as a result the Nuggets are in the Finals.

I'm just saying, you can't include Bynum in talk of the Lakers. He's not the "missing piece." He's been awful all playoffs.

 

[samus4ever]

Hahahah Charles. I did that by the pool. Yeah right :lol

 

[Branduil]

He's not the "missing piece."

Sure he is. Emphasis on the "missing."

 

[Vestal]

Actually the most interesting matchup of the possible Magic Lakers series I think will be what Pietrius can do against Kobe.. Unlike Lebron Kobe can kill you while shooting jumpers all night..

 

[samus4ever]

I was going to say how petty and pathetic that is, but then I remembered how awesome the Vince Carter Elimination Day long weekend was this year. Traffic was crazy heading out of town, but the fireworks up at the cottage were worth it.

 

[Drakken]

I ask because after the Truck Sticking LeBron gets away with it's kinda ironic. Did he praise Jesus?

Handchecking can't stop a guy who Truck Sticks you. Not even Jordan got those calls back in the day, then again Jordan had a jumper and didn't need to forcibly dislodge people.

I'd leave my feet too after being Truck Stick'd.

O
M
G

Dwight Howard literally never moved his feet until he was TruckSticked.

Foul on Howard.

right...

... that'll do, NBA. That'll do.

Horrible fucking call. When will he ever get called for a charge? He keeps trucksticking people and getting fouls calls ON THEM. So much bullshit.

OMFG ANOTHER TRUCK STICK!!!

TRUCK STICK!!!!!

Well since apparently Cavs got permission to use the Truck Stick Magic have to watch out. This game ain't over.

I was wondering who gave Cavs permission to use the Truck Stick on drives and not get called for fouls.

Shtick is seriously getting old.

 

[commish]

Cavs were frauds. I'm glad they were exposed. Also glad the cavs fans can now exit this thread. See ya next April!
