FFFF!!!!! Rashad Lewis with that nail biter three!!! I was like "dont take it!!!" but proved wrong and so damn clutch.

Magic stole a game from the Cavs. This series looks to be good.

Lebron is sik wit it!!!! Nuff said

[Mik3]

Lebron crashed youtube. They just put his shot up and youtube just crashed like that. His power levels are over 9000

[True]

When Turkoglu hit that floater with only one second left I thought the Cavs would be down and out with 0-2 in the series (where its only a 7% chance of the losing team winning), but the basketball Gods somehow made Leborn hit that CLUTCH three. Seriously, it was intense and crazy!! That shot definitely goes down as one of the greatest buzzer beaters in NBA history.

Hail to the King!!

I'm going to have to get a witness shirt....

EDIT: I may retract that statement unless Lebron can make a legendary comeback that only 8 teams have done.

Conspiracy theory: Cavs win next game, DA-WIGHT gets his seventh technical and suspended for the sixth game allowing for the Cavs to tie the series. Then at home
Cavs take it after Lebron shoots a record 50 FT's. He's hailed as the greatest player by bringing his team back and winning the NBA Finals. Stern makes lots and lots of money.

looks like the Cavs will have a disappointing ending to their season, we wont get to see a Kobe-Lebron matchup.

Lakers in 5

[True]

All those commercials and hype of Lebron/Kobe matchup, looks like the Cavs can't hold up the deal. Guess Dwight Howard should get a muppet now?

Unless Cavs can make a dramatic comeback, the Magic are going to keep on raining 3's.

I'd say Lakers in 6/7.

[Mik3]

LA in 5. Their defense is that good.

[True]

Oh lawd ESPN your Leborn wank is oh so funny now.

[Mik3]

Kobe is a modern day Jordan

[True]

Lakers are play so well right now as a team. Crazy defense and Kobe is just damn good.

I might have to give it in 5 depending on how the Magic play at home.

[Illmatic]

The good news for the Magic is that they'll have some time to work on and practice a new gameplan, cause the one they tried last night, is gonna get them booted in a hurry. Pietrus can't guard Kobe, Lee may have to see less minutes since he's too small and was getting picked on, and the size advantage the Magic had is gone, Bynum Gasol and Odom are up to the task and Kobe's supporting cast will contribute in ways that Lebron's couldnt, with that said it's only game one so the Magic shouldn't panic.

Honestly, the reason this game was so bad, is that Orlando is shooting team and they weren't making their open shots. When their shots drop, it opens things up for Howard and vice versa. Let's see how game 2 goes.

[Illmatic]

Hell of a game yesterday btyOrlando, though Kobe and crew find a way to get the W. The series will now shift to Orlando, and im pretty sure the Magic will get hot from the perimeter, this is a game they can't lose, imo, if they lose Game 3 or 4, this series is over.

[Sir Whirly]

I have a feeling that the Magic are going to be on fire this next game and if they can keep it going they will win.

[True]

I think Lakers will be able to steal a game in Orlando and then close it out at home. Though I'd like to see the series go to seven games for sure.

[Mik3]

Orlando bettter not just think "Well, its in our house now, time for payback." Because Kobe is going to come out charging to steal game 3 and clamp his foot down on their throats.

No I don't think Orlando thinks it is just going to walk away with a win, but LA might get ahead of itself. I say the threes will drop this game and Orlando pulls it off.

-edit- And I was right. 69% shooting for Superman and his and his crew.

EPIC FAIL BY Orlando


Howard has done nothing this series, Gasol has been way more superior. The thing is, hot shooting doesn't win championships, Fundamentals do.

Like I said LAs defense late in the game won it for them. Pietrus also made a stupid foul at the end.

Orlando also messed up by not fouling and letting Fisher get off that shot.

[True]

Man, Orlando is turning into Choke city! Missing all those FT's and easy lay ups. And why would you have Jameer Nelson on Derek Fisher when they should have had Courtney Lee, the better defender, on him. Leaving him with all that space is just guaranteeing a bucket. When Bryant ripped the ball out of Dwight's hand (Defense Player of the year what?! ) and was able to get out of his grasp, the momentum just completley shifted. Lakers are playing damn good ball and the Magic are just falling apart.

Unless they can pull off something magical tomorrow night, I'm giving it to the Lakers as champs.
