LOL at ESPN, the TMZ of sports. Look what happened to the Cavs when they went to the finals it was all Lebron with no one contributing and look how it played out. The Magic have about 5 players who can make an impact on a game, same with the Cavs, Lakers, and Magic. In the end its gonna be the defensive side of the game that lets teams win

We know how well he has performed in playoffs lol but I still think by the 2nd round he wont be called Wince Harder or a playoff choke lol Maybe during the Finals, but it never depended on Hedo and it won't depend on Carter now. Yeah but every team needs a closer and for the Magic it would probably be between Carter or Nelson. Howard has shown that he can completely dominate a game on the defensive side of the ball and his offense is getting better and better everytime I see him play, but Vince is key IMO. The difference between him and Hedo is Hedo came off picks looking for a jumper, Carter can come off a pick for a jumper or to attack the basket.

Try having Rafer Alston score 26 points in game 4 of the ECF. Moon had a surprising stroke in last nights game but it's hard to feel that bad for the Bulls. They had 50+ points in the paint, 13 offensive rebounds, 20 more shots than the Cavs and only 4 TO's. To think they lost by 10, with all that in their favor, is a testament to how superior Cleveland is (or maybe how bad the Bulls are). or testament to how bad cleveland's interior defense is maybe? how do you give up that much in the paint to a very small bulls team? I hope that this is just this series or just the bulls being that good for the cavs sake... if you give up that much to the magic you loose... easily... Its the Shaq effect he only played 15 minutes in the game because he had foul trouble, Cavs have the best interior defense in the paint when Shaq is on the floor. And if you were to tell me that a team had 13 offensive rebounds and 20 more shots then there opponent and they lost I would say the other team was playing great defense. Anything the Cavs do go or bad Im not gonna count for them in this series, they still have to get everyone incorporated and fix some things up mainly turnovers and transition D. 50+ points in the paint= great defense? lol... ok... and the cavs won because you have lebron which is sad because you should be winning these games easily... as much as you guys want to make it out like the bulls are good, they're not... they have Rose and that's it. Noah is a spark plug but he should be getting dominated by shaq but shaq is out of shape even with loosing 20 lbs. I can't wait to see how our pick and roll destroys him... I forgot all defense is played in the paint, did you not read the part about Shaq? Him not in the game is the reason why they scored in the paint. Shaq played 15 minutes Noah played 41 minutes and Shaq is clearly not in game shape. He looks real good early in the games and looks tired late and thats directly linked to not being able to touch a ball for 6 weeks. Once he gets his wind back he will be good, we dont need him for the entire game only 25-30 minutes. As for Lebron how is it sad? He scored 40 on 23 shots thats efficient it would have been a different story if he was going one on 5 which he didnt or took 25-30 shots but he didnt. The Cavs helped set him to play one on one instead of him dribbling at the top of the key and jacking up a jumper. And he did get help from Shaq who had 8 pts and 7 rebs in 15 minutes, 14 pts from Jamison, 12 pts and 6 assists from Mo(no turnovers) and the bench produced.

Your teams success is going to depend all on Carter. We know how well he has performed in playoffs lol but I still think by the 2nd round he wont be called Wince Harder or a playoff choke lol

Believe it or not the cavs and the queen effect the magic just like all the moves the cavs made this year were effected by the cavs inability to shut the magic down. I think I'll call you crabs Your right about the Magic part but they also need size and scoring for for the Lakers and Celtics.

quote: Originally posted by ThuglifeJ:EVEN the Announcer screamed foul on that one. oh and nice flop Varajoa Cavs are a joke of a team sometimes. Theyre good, but flopping and complaining needs to go Flop? Noah got him with the elbow. Yeah complaining from other teams need to go too

quote: Originally posted by elephant27:I think on this "Art of the Block" thing, they should show Courtney Lee dunking on him last year. lol Or Lebron packing Dwight lol

Just want to say good luck to you guys and the Magic. But come on now, yeah Lebron will get the benefit of the call but the Cavs as a team are playing physical and attacking the basket while the Bulls are shooting jumpers. Cant get foul calls if your settling for jumpers

Lebrick take your Magic glasses off, the refs were on the Magic side its not that hard to see.

Thanks for calling me an idiot lol but Howard was getting away with alot of elbows today when those same elbows that would get Shaq in foul trouble. The calls IMO affected the Cavs more then the Magic

Didnt see it that way, the refs also let the Magic get away with a couple of calls too

Wow is the season even over yet lol
