I love how someone is actually talking about the horrid officiating... Way to go Charles Barkley!!! that being said you will probably be fined $30,000 by the NBA or by TNT (through the NBA).
Magic game!, Great way to bounce back from that heartbreaker the other night. Glad to see our guys our still in it, even though Dwight had to deal with some bs calls, but that's the name of the game. Let's go Magic!
I'm not a Orlando Magic fan but congrats to them on winning this game, clearly outplayed Cleveland despite a lot of calls that were questionable. Speaking of Cleveland, you have to wonder what Mike Brown is thinking right now. His team has been clearly outplayed in this series in my opinion and they just aren't doing anything well overall. Watching them this game, outside of LeBron James who struggled tonight, they simply had no offense. It was pass to LeBron and watch him either jack up a three or watch him drive and try to get a call in his favor. On defense, they had one guy getting back after a missed shot and that was LeBron. Moe and the other three just jogged up the court. They have no rhythm as an offense. On defense, I think it would be wrong to say "they" because LeBron is actually hustling but the rest of the guys don't seem to be in it. They have a lot to correct. I picked Orlando to win this series from the beginning and I'm sticking with it.
that should be a triple technical. When this series started I thought this was going to be a good clean basketball matchup. But after losing game 1, the Cavs have resorted to the same crap as the Celtics. Its blatantly obvious what they are doing. Intentional fouls and flops on defense, and charges disguised by Oscar performances on offense. Have some respect for the game!!!
What a great game last night. Even with all the flopping and phantom calls, it's still so great to see this team come so far. So many dark years since the Shaq and Penny era.. so close now to playing for a championship. Lets face it, if it wasn't for a last second hail mary shot in game two, we would be on the verge of a sweep of these overrated chumps.
likely not as severe, but i would not respect it. but the truth is that Orlando isnt that type of team. i credit that to van gundy.
Agreed. If there were a player or two on our team that were known floppers I would still support the team but would hang my head in shame when a flop would rear it's ugly head. I'm glad to see that Stan is starting to get national attention for what a great coach he is. What a steal we got from the Heat.
Sadly the NBA needs to have a NBA finals featuring Kobe vs Lebron, their ratings have been down the ****ter for the past several years and I think thats why the Magic wont beat the Cavs, and why the Nuggets wont beat LA, the league wont allow it.
I love me some Van Gundy. First off, he looks like Ron Jeremy which is both awesome and cool. Next his attitude is great, he always wants and demands the best from his players. He does his research and is a great ball coach. Van Gundy's post-game confrence after we lost Game 2 to Cleveland was amazing... And to think we almost hired that UF toolbag Oh and as far at tomorrow/tonight CAN. NOT. WAIT.

LMFAO. add Varejao to that as well, hes the biggest girl of them all. its pathetic watching them and him specifically flop so much. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2009/news/story?id=4205686
I heard the Cavaliers were spotted coming out of Disney studios this morning with a Mickey Mouse acting coach. They'll do whatever they can, they're not supposed to lose this series, and we weren't supposed to go this far. And Mo Williams is still running his mouth. Let's win another one tonight.
Good start for Orlando while I wonder if Cleveland will ask LeBron James to carry them once again, something that I see happening but don't see leading to a victory. Orlando is playing well and Dwight's doing well early, which IMO is big. Just watching him though, I hope that he expands his offensive game this summer. He's all spin and hook shot right now. If he develops a consistent twelve to fifteen footer ala Amare Stoudamire, he'd be so dangerous.
