maybe they're trying to ease Lee back into it b/c of the nose thing...

funny, in the last game, Lee is the one who IMO actually was the spark in the 4th for the comeback...

Good to get back to the ECF again, I think it has been over 13 years since the last appearance. I just hope the Magic can play on that same level or better as they did last night when they play against the Cavs next series.

last time they played the Cavs, Lebron did that thing pregame with the smoke or chaulk dust, and then they lost by 30 pts.

hopefully that was a sign that the Magic match up with them well.

Congrads to the Magic for keeping the "M" and dropping the "T" by building a larger lead towards the end of the Celtics game and not blowing it. Instead, they made the Celts take bad shots and actually give up with a couple minutes left. It was weird. They took out Allen and Pierce with a couple of minutes left... they threw in the towel. If House would've made all three of his 3-pt attempts at the end, the lead would've been 12 or 14... then, I think they would've kept those guys in...


The new Celts arena is right off of the expressway ramp-- the Events Center in Orlando will have a spot on similar location here in O-town.

this time, Lebron does that chaulk thing pregame, another player hits a 3 from the half court mark (after admitting that they practice that play in practices, which is probably taking precious time away from practicing mundane things like playing defense or things like other players other than Lebron learning how to score normally), and they still lose.

not talking smack, only that once the Magic figure out how to hold Lebron below 49 pts for Game 2, the Cavs will lose by at least 10-15 pts.

I can't take the Cavs seriously, because they don't take themselves seriously. These guys were sitting around practicing circus shots while the Magic were grinding through a 7 game series. They were sweeping clearly inferior competition, and now that they finally face a challenge, I don't think it's a test they're prepared to pass. It's like seeing a lightweight boxing champion try to fight a heavyweight. You may be a champion, but you're still getting your ass kicked. They're a one man team.

Oh, and LeBron is a complete drama queen, acting like he was hurt at the end of the game. I also enjoyed Sideshow Bob's great performance early on. He's such a great actor, holding his throat and turning blue in the face even though he was clearly hit in the chest. Biggest flopper in the league.

LOL!

it's like watching ECW on Tuesday nights, only, you gotta take guys like Batista seriously.

Yeah, I've got pals in The Heartland right now thinking... "dammit, first OSU loses to the Gators in football and basketball, and now this..."

Lebron makes funny commercials, and ESPN has it hard for the Cavs to win; very biased commentating. I can't say I blame them since they're salivating at the prospects of a Kobe vs Lebron or Carmelo vs Lebron in the Finals. But, they're forgetting about Superman.

I think the Magic finally understand what has to be done to win. If they clamp down on defense, I think they have a good chance to run away with this thing. They already know they can win in a shootout, now its time to clamp down on D. Hopefully they do. How 'bout that Rashard Lewis draining that 3 towards the end for the lead...

People think we got off easy b/c KG was out for Boston. I don't know about you all, but when you have a lineup like Perkins, Allen, Marbury, Pierce, Rondo, Davis, and Scalabrine, I don't know, but that's a pretty darn good roster right there. And going toe to toe with those guys made the world of a difference for this team...

off to Game 2...

Wow.

That's all I have to say.

How do you let Lebron get open like that? You have to double team him in that situation. Instead they just put Turkoglu on him?

This series is tense...

This series would have been practically over, but no, we can't play defense for 1 second.

Literally.

wow, it took those clowns a last second buzzer beating 3 by James to win Game 2 in their home court. 50/50 call; in Game 1, we won on a similar non-play.

Cavs are losing this series.

James is a shooter...

and the Cavs are clowns for the bullsh*t they keep doing and getting away with on-court... I have more respect for the Celts as a team.

But what do you expect from any Ohio teams... they're all a bunch of talkers...

Orlando wins game 3, 99-89.

If Lebron hadn't made that shot in game 2, Magic would be up 3-0 in the series..

After 3 games, its clear that Orlando is the better team. Hopefully, Stan can prove Shaq wrong.

Yikes!!! The Magic escaped another nailbiter last night, defeating the Cavs in overtime 116-114 to go up 3-1 in the series.
