Hopefully it is settled on the court in June.


That being said, nobody is talking Cleveland/Orlando. Does Orlando even have a shot?

It won't be a sweep. Orlando is pretty good.

Agreed. Orlando matches up well against Cleveland and they did beat them twice this year.
The magic, much like the 2004 - 2005 suns, play a very spread out offense. It relies on 3 pointers, but it also spreads out the defense a lot which creates holes. If the Magic play their game right, they could definitely win a few games. I'm not so sure they could win the series tho.

looking forward to this matchup. guessing courtney lee checking LBJ, if they can prevent him getting in paint too often with Dwight patrolling middle, Orlando might have a chance. and dwight better exploit his matchups, b/c don't think big Z/Varejao/Wallace will have as much success as Kendrick Perkins did.

Lee on LBJ would be a huge mistake. LBJ's got 3" and 70 lbs on him. Magic need to play a matchup zone and run multiple defenders at him. Try to sandwich LBJ with a longer guy in front.

Capt Caveman, how does it feel to eat your shit?

Coming from a loser like you? :laugh: How about LA last year on their own court in the finals? Without KG and Poe, they did pretty good. Lose Gasol and Kobe would be crying like you do every night. The fact the Lakers went to game 7 against Houston with no Ming and McGrady, you'd think you wouldn't make such stupid remarks.

And I'll repost this from earlier in the thread:

Wrong. They're 5th, Kings is 4th. LOL, man, I hope Clippers don't get #1 pick, that's like a black hole for new players.

 

[herkulease]

he probably thinks its a 2-2-1-1-1 format which is in hockey uses and the nba uses in the 1st round up to conference finals.

the finals though is a 2-3-2. I dunno why though they decide to make the finals different.

Ugh, I forgot about the 2-3-2 format. Baked changed his prediction because I implied the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

good god, bynum and jr smith just killing their respective teams...and denver gotta start making those FT's

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

Denver blew their chance. Too many missed FT's, and sloppy play in the 2nd qtr.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kobe & Co. steamrolled them in the 2nd half.

only reason nugs are losing at half - 9 missed fts. ugh.

 

[Corporate Thug]

All denver has to do is come up with a draw (or close to) 3rd quarter...the most you can ask for on the road is a tied (or close to tied) game entering the 4th.

 

[Baked]

Wow Lakers bench is sick! And what a come back in the 2nd half. But what the hell's wrong with Billup's FT?

 

[Baked]

Is Carmelo a fucking android? How can somebody's catch and release be so damn accurate?

 

[dbk]

this is a great game

 

[sash1]

5th tech on Kobe? 2 more and he's sitting...

 

[vi edit]

Denver defines the word "scrappy". They don't get rattled and they just keep plugging away.

 

[Kobota]

well i just got tickets for the cavs game tomorrow. Go cavs

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

Woah. Bryant and Anthony are really going at it. Denver is showing a lot of scrap and hustle too. Great game.
