I know you're a troll, but good post.

I can't believe there are people who think this series is over. I mean...WOW.

THE NBA PLAYOFFS IS NOT A SINGLE ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT. Just because we were unstoppable at home in the regular season and against two crappy teams doesn't mean we won't lose a game the rest of these playoffs.

You claimed that I said Artest and Battier's defense was better than KG's in his prime. I'm still trying to figure out when this post was...way to make stuff up dude.

I'm from Columbus and definitely not a Lakers fan. Just a big basketball enthusiast.
 
the thing that pisses me off is that we had a 15 point lead :mad:

in that case, he's played nervous in the past 9 of our ****ing games.

is Ben Wallace still on this ****ing roster? because if thats the offensive effort we're gonna get from Z, I'd rather play someone who can give us the same effort, but play defense like he has a sack.

Yes, the sky is falling. LeBron could have easily forced a foul or dunked on the Polish hammer on that last possession. I get trusting your teammates, but when it costs you a guaranteed win, I think I have to think twice

LeBron will get called out on this by a lot of people, I'm sure. It's a no-win situation. If he takes the shot and misses, he's a choker. If he passes the ball and the other player misses (exactly what happens), he'll be seen as being afraid to take the final shot.

However, with Howard out of the game, I don't see why LeBron doesn't take the high percentage shot in the paint, but instead passes to a shooter who has a 40-50% chance of making the shot.
 
I wonder if LeBron being hurt caused him not to go up and try to score
 
"Yes, the sky is falling. LeBron could have easily forced a foul or dunked on the Polish hammer on that last possession."

I take it back. THIS is the dumb ass comment of the night.

You try dunking with a shot ankle and leg cramps. I suppose you want LeBron to serve you dinner and get you laid tonight, too.

Man. I'm going to sleep now.

Moo
 
That last play was weird for LeBron because Pietrus fell over and cut his angle off...
 
Is it okay for a man to cry after a loss like this? :(

I dunno even what to think right now... I'm at a loss for words...

A 15 point lead is nothing. Any team is capable of making a run.

And I'll take a wide open shot by Delonte for the win anytime. It was the right play from Lebron.
 
look everyone can say it until they are blue in the face, you may not be saying you are nervous about this series but clearly there is reason to be.

the cavs regardless of how rusty they were, how badly they played, how great the magic shot, and how piss ass the officiating was still lost at home for basically the 2nd time all season. the cavs can/should win this series no doubt but to say you arent worried is just ludicrous. this win tonight does nothing but give the magic confidence that they can come in here and do it again for game 2 and game 5.

the cavs needed to find a way to win today no matter how many forces were against them. lebron played great ben, wally, and boobie though need to be shot.
 
So Z has one job, to make his jumpshots....and he flat out sucks. Sorry, i love Z, but ****ing a, he disappears completely in the playoffs.

im going to have insomnia tonight.
 
Let Howard go off. I'd continue to defend him one and one. When he was scoring and the focus of Orlando's offense while the Cavs did a good job defending and rotating on Orlando's shooters is when the Cavs built and maintained a big lead. When the Magic went away from Howard and other Magic players got involved is when the game changed. Many of us felt the key is containing players like Lewis and Turkoglu, not Howard. That pretty much was born out tonight.

3rd quarter blues came back tonight along with stagnant offense and defensive rotations becoming a little lazy. Cavs have to maintain player and ball movement. When it stops it's up to the coaches to make sure it returns.

It's one game. No need to panic and become overly negative right now. Orlando is one of the best teams in the league and the Cavs weren't going to go undefeated.

Man. I got some dumb stuff to read on the show tomorrow.

How many game winners does LeBron have to make for you to be satisfied? I insist you donate $1000 to LeBron2010.com NOW.

Because your lame ass insights will help chase him off in 2010. God.
