Same place the Laker bench has gone I guess. Never seen a team get so many dunks when the other team has 2 seven footers in the line-up. C'mon Lakers, pull your heads out of your ass and play some defense and rebound.

I guess this is just a bad match up? I never watch the NBA before the playoffs but it's hard to understand how this is the best defensive team in the NBA. A lot of teams (not Cleveland obv) are going to make 45% of their threes if no one is in the zip code. Surely some other teams tried the pick and roll against them?
Also I'm not sure what was worse, Bron's horrid sequence of pounding the ball then taking awful threes in the last minute of the third quarter when they had a 2 for 1, or the "play" they ran for WALLY SZERBIAK in the fourth quarter. When you're hoping Wally Z can deliver in the conference finals you have galactic-ly mismanaged something. Assuming they can't rally I think this is Mike Brown's last coach of the year award.

There were a lot of things I questioned.. for example Ben Wallace on Rashard Lewis at the end of the game even after the timeout.. Gibson in the lineup instead of Z at the start of overtime... just to name a couple.
Random aside that has little to do with actual basketball (I think?): why does everybody on ftr hate LeBron? There are so many legitimately not likable characters left in the playoffs.. from Kobe Bryant's off-court 'adventures' to Dwight Howard's elbows, Dahntay Jones's dirty ass plays.. again just to name a few.
I remember mcat calling him LeBitch Scowl or something.. why all the hate? I'm an ignorant, biased clevelander so obviously I like the guy, but what is it other than the fact that he's so good that makes people not like him?

Z flat out cannot guard the pick n roll, he's so worthelss on D. However, Wallace/Varejao simply do not add any offense, so it's a tough give/take.
I hate Lebron because he acts like he's the shit when he's won nothing. This series is doing nothing to make me hate him less, as he's put up 4 straight bad 4th quarters (sans the miracle 3). Win something, then get the title "king". I know he didn't give himself the nickname but he seems to buy into his own hype. So do the refs, he gets every whistle with out fail and it's just ridiculous that some 24 yr. old with no rings and 1 MVP is getting mentioned in the same breath as Kobe/MJ/etc...
I know you'll hate every reason I just gave cuz you're a Cavs homer, I do the same thing when people hate on Manu, Timmy, or Bruce.

I love lebron, it's why the cavs piss me off some much because I want him in the finals and on a watchable team. I don't blame him for the bad threes, that's why you have a coach.
Do people really think Kobe raped that girl? I like him too, anyone on the redeem team who did not suck (see: Howard) will always have a place in my heart, even Coach K and no one outside carolina hates duke more than I do.

Holy crap. How does a team go so jekyl and hyde so often a series DURING GAMES?!?!
That being said, 4 points isn't by any means insurmountable. Cavs can still win.

i was out and about and it seemed like everyone was down all game, almost like it was resigned that we'd lose game 6 anyway
then at the end of the 4th when it started heating up, the spirit came back and everyone was happy and wild and loud again (and probably drunk too)
but we're still going to lose game 6 though; hyachachach

Lots of pressure on the magic now IMO, plus LeBron may still have a detroit game 5 in him. If the cavs win game 6 tho I think pressure will go back to them. plus the magic would I assume be the first team ever to win 2 road game 7s plus a road game 6?

Man I find myself really wanting to root for Orlando but I think they're going to have a helluva time closing out games against the Lakers. I'll always root for the underdog but I like Kobe a lot, so I'm a bit torn.

yeah, i thought this was problematic
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4224350
Code:
In an appearance on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd," Stern acknowledged he was not pleased that James, the league's reigning MVP, didn't meet with the media, or shake hands with the Orlando Magic, following the Game 6 loss Saturday night.
just a nh, gg woulda been enough LeBron

yea Stern was upset, still didn't do anything about it, no fine, no reprimand. This is 2 straight years LBJ has done it. Hell, he gets away with everything else, cannot see how he wouldn't get away with this.

Other than Delonte West, absolutely no one on the Cavs did anything to help LeBron, including the Coach of the Year. The Cavs' big men were absolutely horrendous -- Wallace needs to retire -- and the second-best 3-point shooting team couldn't hit the ocean from the beach.
Cleveland is going to have to do something creative, because I don't think you can fire a CoY, and there aren't many great free agents this year. Maybe lure Larry Brown from Charlotte and then go get Rasheed?
I think the Magic have a good shot at knocking off the Lakers. They have the same matchup problems the Cavs do -- Bynum has been horrible and will likely have foul trouble every game. Lewis and Gasol each present the other with matchup problems, so that'll be interesting.
If Jameer were 100% I'd put large chunks of money on the Magic. As is, I think Lakers will take it in 7.

seriously, horrible sportsmanship by him, and even worse was his attempt to justify it.
but, is it really a big deal? fining someone for not shaking hands.. wtf? any other player and it would be a non-issue.

pretty much spot on, except i disagree with your take on mike brown/larry brown. there were a few gaffes this series, but i wouldn't touch larry brown as my head coach with a 10 foot poll and i certainly wouldn't want to replace mike brown with larry brown.
and there's something about having the most dominant big man in the game and dishing out to 6'10 3 point shooters that hit everything that is somewhat of a problem defensively, especially when your big men are old and slow, save for one, and your perimeter defenders undersized.

I actually didn't mind it at all until a couple players called him out about it and I realized he did it last year. At first I was like "wtf he just lost why would he stick around" when I guess staying and shaking hands and doing interviews is the norm in this situation.

I tell u what though, we better see a different team on Saturday or things are going to get ugly down the stretch.
Anyway, Magic shooting went the way of the dodo tonight and I don't think that can be expected to happen again. Orland now must respond, should be a good game 2.

Orlando is going to win games in this series, they have 3 straight at home and it's far from over. But do or die pretty much from this point on.

the lakers are getting just about every call this series, it's funny
of course the magic would probably make the same argument in the boston series. and the cleveland series.
so i watched pretty much every playoff game on tv through the first 3 series.... but i'm having a hard time watching the finals. bitterness or something.

it does seem somewhat slanted, also, as well as SVG seemed to coach in the ECF he seems lost (rotations-wise) in this series.
Either way if Lee finishes off the alley-oop we have a sick good series, but with the 2-3-2 format the road team really has to win one of the first two games, b/c winning 3 in a row is so tough, no matter how big their home court advantage is.

I decided whale wars was more interesting than game 2, even as it was going into over time. (please don't hate me spenda).
I hope LA sweeps now that they're up 2-0. Fuck Kobe.
