The ONLY legit way to beat this is for Dwight to take a charge or 2... unfortunately thats what its come to. Exactly (re: Dwight taking a charge or 2). What I was going to add to my previous post is that LeBron's comment about "taking it harder to Dwight" might be with the intent of getting into Dwight's head so that he becomes frustrated and reacts in such a way that he gets a technical foul.

What does that mean, Hes gonna pay the refs more. The refs are surely getting paid under the table by somebody and i wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt James. We cant win games with the refs on the payroll. Oh yeah, we have already. In my opinion, LeBron wants his teammates to defer to him for the majority of the time that Dwight is on the floor. Which means that his teammates will stand around watching while LeBron dribble, dribble, dribble. . .then go barreling his way into the paint toward Dwight for the foul on Dwight. I think the intent is to have Dwight foul out early rather than later (or sit the majority of the game in foul trouble).

Hey, thanks guys/gals for the compliment on the game thread. In case you didn't know it, we have a message board member who goes by "WeGoinToDaTop". So if you read this WeGoinTo, I couldn't resist using your title. It fits in well with the picture of Dwight ascending above the clouds and our hopefully ending this series by winning game 6.

I like to think mine are similarly good, but i dont know your cridentials. Im only a junior in HS. But anywho, this is going to be a great game hopefully. A tough one. Play like we have every game after we have gotten our 3rd win of the series and win the next one and play great. Orl- 95 (or 103ish) Cle-87 Thanks, WeGoinToDaTop. I can't take credit for the "Dwight In The Paint" image. . .I found it on the net. 50% of what I do in my threads is photoshop, but I don't do it as a profession. I have to admit that I taught computer applications in public schools, but fundamental stuff. I don't have the skills of Magic message board contributors such as "Sebi", "AddiFB", "Nathan Rules", "Chevy", and some others whose work I am not familiar with at this time.

Hey!. . .What if the Magic had lost that game by 1 pt. I read the article, and it reminded the viewer that Mo Williams took and made the shot for the technical on Dwight.

I have not seen any mention of this anywhere, but is LeBron and his teammates still clowning around (pretending to take pictures of themselves, etc. during pregame warmups)?

I was getting a sad face (smile!)because this thread was starting to disappear off page 1, and I just wanted to know if the Cav's had stopped that silly stuff after the Magic's beatdown of that team.

POST-GAME PRESS CONFERENCE http://www.nba.com/playoffs2009/live2/

Not all of the media think the Cavaliers are going to win the Eastern Conf. Finals. This morning on the Sports Reporters on ESPN, all 4 reporters agreed that the Magic could take this series. They did not even make a big deal out of Lebron's buzzer beater. Bob Ryan said that it should not have had to come down to that. What he was saying is that if Cleveland was such a dominant team, winning that game should not have required a buzzer beater. They said that Mike Brown was outcoached by Van Gundy The Sports Reporters: Mike Lupica John Saunders Israel Gutierrez Bob Ryan Edit: They also said that the Magic creates match up problems for the Cavs. . . specifically, Hedo and Rashard.

What they said was: "Everybody (or most) thought this was going to be a Lebron/Kobe head to head in the Finals, but that might not happen with the way the Magic have been playing." It was also mentioned that the Cavs had not played teams in their first two playoff series that were of the caliber of the Magic.

I hope you don't misunderstand me. . .but I was not apologizing for making the same observation after you made it. I just thought it was interesting that someone else witnessed or had the same observation about Coach Brown's speech as I did. Also, thank you for the compliment on my game threads. I enjoy doing them.
