If those finals were on FOX what would be the over/under on montages referring to the Drive and the Fumble? I'd say 26.

Compare the Lakers' three no-shows against Houston to the Boston Celtics, who fought hard every single game. And you KNOW the Lakers are going to brush off the Nuggets, just because the season series went 3-1 in L.A.'s favor, and they will get burned.
If the Lakers take this series seriously, they shouldn't have a problem sweeping in 4. But they won't. They never do. So they win in 7...but it'll be close. If Denver pulls it off, I won't be shocked in the least.
Meanwhile, people expecting a Cleveland cakewalk have a rude awakening coming. Orlando knows how to play the Cavs. This is another series that goes 7. Cavs win in 7, with LeBron putting up a ridiculous 50-10-10 in Game 7.

Is anyone watching?
Yep. I was getting too angry when the Nuggets were down by 14, and figuring they were going to lose, switched channels to the Canes/Pens game to cool down. Fortunately I switched it back just in time to watch them rally back to pull within one at halftime (Chauncey's inbound to himself off of Kobe was sick).

Lebron James should make you want to watch, there's not a more amazing athlete right now. His finishes around the hoop when getting hacked are just nuts and if the NBA hasn't synched up that game winning three with some slow piano music yet I don't know what they are waiting for. Also a great call by Marv Albert.
I'll give Orlando credit, they have way more fight in them than I thought they did going into this series. | The Game

| #14 Posted on 24.5.09 1837.12 | Instant Rating: 2.00 | The scenarios thus far;
LeBron puts up a 3 with 1 second left to avoid being down a dangerous 2-0 hole to the athletic Orlando Magic. LeBron taking the shot was a sign that LeBron is gaining more confidence in being the man to take the last shot instead of passing it to someone else like he has a habit of doing from time to time. The series would probably favor Orlando if the Magic had a healthy Jameer Nelson.
LA takes a 2-1 lead in which Denver pretty much controlled most of the game. K-Mart puts in an ugly pass which ultimately puts the perverbial nail in the coffin for the Nuggets. However, if Denver was concentrated on other shots instead of being dismal from beyond the arc, a better shot selection (and a more productive Carmelo Anthony) could have been the difference maker and potentially having Denver up 2-1 instead of the Lakers. Denver has to win game 4 or be down a very dangerous 3-1 in which only a few teams have come back to win the series. Right now, it's make or break for Denver. | Wpob

| #15 Posted on 24.5.09 1852.52 | Instant Rating: 5.49 | I think the pressure for game 4 is squarely on the Lakers shoulders. If they lose, then we are right back to where we were with Houston and doubt starts creeping back inot their heads and Denver gets all the momentum. LA needs to win game 4. I personally think if they do not, then they are going to lose.
Regardless, playoff basketball has been great and while a Howard/Kobe or Carmelo/LeBron finals would be awesome, Kobe/LeBron goes WAY past that. LA/Cleveland cound be legen...wait for it....dary.

Between the Most Valuable Puppet commercials and ESPN airing "Dream Season: 23 & 24" the other night, I'm buying into the hype that this is all about Kobe and LeBron. It just seems that the Magic didn't get the NBA's memo.

| #17 Posted on 26.5.09 1527.56 | Instant Rating: 2.77 | No one should have counted out the Magic to begin with. Considering they went 2-1 against Cleveland (including a 116-87 drumming in April) and 2-0 against the Lakers, there was no reason to overlook Orlando. I had a feeling these guys were for real, but everyone had their Kobe/LeBron goggles on. It seems more and more that Cleveland doesn't have an answer for these guys and are reduced to making meaningless guarantees.
Mo Williams of Cleveland Cavaliers guarantees series win
So, Mo. You're sure the Cavaliers will win Game 4 on Tuesday night and rally to win the best-of-seven series. Willing to guarantee it?
"Guarantee we're going to win the series? Yeah, yeah," he said. "We are down 2-1. But there is nobody on this team and definitely not myself that says we are not going to win this series. Yeah, it is going to be tough. We know that. We get this game tomorrow, go home, still got home-court advantage.
Coming from someone who's shooting 32.1% for the series, this is just idiotic.

I think we're seeing this in the Magic/Cavs series right now. Going into this series, people would've been surprised to see Orlando win a game --- literally nobody thought they'd have Cleveland on the ropes like this.

Although Orlando did win the regular season series versus Cleveland, you are probably right. | | Pages: 1 2 Next
