No way all these guys suck so bad at the same time again. If they can't get us on a night where our two biggest offensive weapons are nowhere to be found and in foul trouble all night then I really feel sorry for the Bobcats from here on out. Their starting 5 shot a great percentage. All 3 of their main guys played well in Wallace, who had a monster game, Felton and Jackson. I don't see much room for improvement from any of their guys. Although what you said was true, it kinda goes the same way for Charlotte...I don't see Jameer going for 30+ again in the series... Dwight absolutely manhandled them inside on defense, with what, 8-9 blocks?? I don't see him getting that many blocks again in the series... Larry Brown can outcoach anyone in the NBA, and I'm sure he will have a better gameplan for game 2. Not saying it will work, but he will make some adjustments...If I was you guys, I would worry about Vince...Jackson is a matchup problem for him, as he is taller, and as quick/quicker, with as much strength...Hughes is also a solid perimeter defender, so Carter shouldn't have huge numbers at all. Expect him to put up mediocre performances the rest of the series. Other than that, Pietrus played lights out, that's not guaranteed to happen again, although it did in the ECF... IMO, both teams had things happen that don't normally happen. I don't think Pietrus and Nelson will be as hot next game, but I also don't think Wallace will dominate like he did. Ummm. I dont see bron winning anything this year? I dont see shaq getting 12 points again...or 5 rebounds... i dont see mo williams bringing his game to the ECF again.. if we meet..Plz dont bring pietrus in saying he wont do it again....I expect Vince stepping up...so go back to your forums plz no Keep telling yourself that champ. LeBron is going home again early this year. Will you be a Nets or Knicks fan next year when he leaves? Cavs fan.

quote: Originally posted by The Can Opener: Why do you reasonably accept that Carter will be shut down because they have a history of being good defenders, yet don't expect Nelson to continue his strong play even though he has a matchup who regularly gets beat? I think the reasonable assumption is they both find a middle ground closer to their season averages. Which again, is more than enough to win the series. Oh they will no doubt win the series. Wasn't trying to give the Bobcats any sort of hope. I was merely pointing out that although Howard and Carter had lackluster offensive games, Nelson and Pietrus more than picked up the slack. The Magic will get their points, that's a given. If they keep getting wide open looks, they will blow out Charlotte in every game. I'm fine with them winning as long as it stops in Rd. 3..lol

quote: Originally posted by the notorious S.A.C.:Are these the reasons why the game was called so badly? 1.) Close game gets the charlotte fan base excited they can hang with the big boys in their first appearance. I don't think a 4-0 sweep and 3 25 point bow outs would excite their fan base. 2.) Michael Jordan is the NBA playing the game or owning the team. The league wants HIS team to succeed and prosper paying back its grest player. 3.) Frustrate Dwight in an early round series with bad officiating. Get him a few techs and fearful of suspension with another and mess his game up. Then a fantom tech in the cleveland series and a one game suspension. Its called managing dwight by the nba and david stern. You make the call! LOL

quote: Originally posted by AddiFB:Bulls still holding on and staying in the game. That's pretty good considering they are playing against a much better team. I expect nothing less from the Bulls..They've persevered all season, and after all the hype and trash talk between these two teams, they would be foolish to lay down...They're going to get smacked, but I admire their effort.

quote: Originally posted by i HATE Rich DeVos:Cavs "fans" are the STDs of the magic message board Some are, I will agree...But i guarantee you that most people on this forum would rather have some of these Cavs fans on here than some of the Magic fans.

quote: Originally posted by Cavs4life23: Anothercavsfan....don't listen to magic fans. I've noticed that they are not very intelligent and think Matt Barnes is the next Michael Jordan cuz he held Bryant to like 36 points. lol...Everyone else is fine..ThuglifeJ is the only one that has a mancrush on LeBron and the refs.

quote: Originally posted by ThuglifeJ:Lol Shaq tripped himself and it got called on Noah. Gibson didnt make a single touch of contact on Lebron's and 1. the only call Ive seen favor the Bulls is Flip Murray getting smacked in the face by big Zs arm. you guys are so biased. Thinking everyone is conspiring against your team while giving your rival competition for the Finals every favorable call isn't bias??? I'm confused.

quote: Originally posted by ThuglifeJ:Cavs+Refs vs Bulls = sweep. Will not watch this terrible series. Bulls follow the home team's pace. Theyre screwed Every post you make is about how Cleveland gets calls. If you think 2 or 3 favorable calls a game is going to make up for a 20 pt beatdown, you're terribly mistaken.

quote: Originally posted by elephant27:Man...I didn't know the Bulls were THIS horrible inside. Shaq and Jamison are eating them up Noah can block shots, but he's not a bruiser...Shaq will literally eat him alive inside. I figured Cavs would do better without Shaq..I may be wrong by watching the 1st Quarter. Shaq looks in great shape out there.

Also if you factor in how all the talking heads and their analysis that Said we would struggle w/o hedu how can you not reward the guy? Ok, I'll use your method, and make a case for Mike Brown. 5 new players, a slew of injuries, and still managed to coach the team with the best record in the league. No one's denying that SVG did a good job, but to act as though he did the impossible is a bit farfetched, seeing how Mike Brown had a better record with the same # of offseason acquisitions as SVG. Yet no one talks about Mike Brown for COY....It's Brooks. mike brown is a Fing joke he doesnt even coach. brown is like a figurehead, the queen of england of the nba, he defers to bron bron just to appease him in hopes of convincing him to stay. if the queen bolts brown gets the boot in less than a year. svg didnt do the impossible what he did was difficult I'm definitely not a Mike Brown fan at all. I was just using what you were saying and applying it to what Brown has done. His resume for this year has been equal or greater than SVGs, so why no love for him?? A coach is still a coach, and if what you're saying is true, LeBron should get COY.

Guiding the defending East champs to the 2nd best record in the East isn't better than what Brooks did.

His series outlook is pretty much the same as mine. And yes, this will be the REAL NBA Finals. When was the last time the two best teams in the league were in the Eastern Conference???

quote: Originally posted by bravlady: quote: Originally posted by God hates Magic fans:I believe Barkley is trying to motivate dwight, nothing more I think you've made a good point. If the Magic get to play the Cavs and it could be the Cavs get knocked off before that happens, Dwight should keep reminding Lebron that the Magic have been there, done that, and Lebron will never see the inside of Staples Center except on TV. So the Finals is played in LA? I thought it was a 2-3-2 format??

Do you expect a Small Forward to average 13 rebounds, shoot 60%, get 4 blocks a game?? Ok...Let Dwight shoot 80% from the FT line, let him shoot 34% from 3, let him average almost 9 asts a game. It's not about what you lead in, it's about what you do for your team. LeBron is the Cavs, Dwight is not the Magic. Without LeBron, the Cavs have lost these past 3-4 games...Without him the last 3 years, they have won 1 time, and lost over 10 times. With him, they're a championship contender, without him, they get a top 10 pick. That's why he's the MVP. I'm not knocking Dwight, because he is a great player, but shame on you for saying "how can it not be Dwight." I can't believe you would ask how can it not be Dwight, that it just amazing.

quote: Originally posted by AcuWill: quote: Originally posted by AnotherCavsFan: quote: Originally posted by AcuWill:Phil Jackson said if he could have one player to build a team around, it would be Dwight. I think that was 2 years ago. I value his opinion much higher than the same jokers that unanimously had us losing to the Cavs last season in the playoffs. The difference is that one can build an entire Offense and Defense around Dwight. That is not the case with Princess. It's easier to build a team around Dwight than it is LeBron. That's because Dwight offers more when on the floor. I don't know what type of award that deserves, maybe, Most Useful Player. It's not because he offers more. The most coveted position in basketball is the Center position. There are only a few "true" Centers left in the game today....Dwight is one of them. LeBron offers more than Dwight in a team sense, but Dwight can have an impact without passing, shooting, or making a foul shot, basically he doesn't even have to touch the ball. Defense wins championships, and Dwight is a defensive juggernaut. No one can guard him, and no one can dominate him on offense. That's why it's easier to build a team around Dwight. He doesn't need 20 shots a game to get his 15-20 points and 15 rebounds.
