How soon until we hear even more LBJ to knicks rumors?

Alston was beast mode tonight with 26 points. Cavs need to change their strategy.

LOL, oh I cant wait for those rumors to start up.

 

[The Young One]

Yeah skip lit mo williams up something serious. Mo has been off since he hurt his shoulder.

 

[cruzg24]

Guys check out my new Magic jersey that I just bought!

Is it too late to jump on the bandwagon?

Definately happy to see Orlando beat the Cavs, once again. Now up 3-1, and Denver & LA are tied 2 all. Hopefully, Denver takes Game 5, as well as Orlando, but I think Cavs will get Game 5 in Cleveland, and Orlando will have to close it out Game 6, in Orlando.

I will not lie though, when LeBron took that half-court shot at the end of OT, I was holding my breath until it missed. Than, saw the replay and realized just how close it was.

I did like Supermans comment to what Sager said to him about if he thought LeBron was tired near the end. "Naw, I didn`t think he was tired. He almost made a 50 footer. He definately wasn`t tired."

These conspiracy theories of the league wanting a Cavs/Lakers finals got me thinking. I mean I can see it now, refs start helping Cleveland and "LeBron leads Cavs back from deep 1-3 series deficit to make it to the finals!! Kobe who?!?!" Just so it all adds to the fire. Not saying that's the case, it's just I've been reading in a lot of places that a lot of people think the league is rigged and that Stern wants "Lakers vs Cavs" which he probably does. Think of the ratings... but yeah it just got me thinking.

 

[Mexi]

yeah LeBron had his bad moments, but he was amazing again tonight,
I want to put this on him, but I can't completely

I've been saying all year that LeBron's teammates disappear when it counts. They sure are making a fortune teller out of me lol

I still don't feel like this is over though. Cavs will win game 5. And game 6 will probably be close like this. If it goes to game 7, Cavs win

I just think if the NBA was rigged, some former players would have to know. it can't all be a secret. someone would have came out unless of course the NBA had ties to like the Mafia and threatened each and every player
more conspiracies! lol

Cavs will still win the series. The Magic made 17 3s, I think they were 50%, and our offense was only average, which was still better then it has been all series, and we only lost by 2 in over time. If the offense plays like they did last night, which is not difficult for this team, we will not lose another game because no way the Magic hit 17 3s in another game at 50% shooting.

 

[elcheato]

Also lol at the NBA rescinding Howard's technical foul. I forgot that it is alright to taunt your opponent.

lmao, that is very naive thinking considering that the Cavs are still in it due to a buzzer beater 3. Pietrus outscored your whole bench and the Magic havent even played a really good game either. Hedo didnt even have that good of a game and you know he will get hot eventually.

 

[elcheato]

Hedo hasn't been good because he is being locked up by our best perimeter defender. Our bench has never put up good numbers, not even in the regular season so I don't know why people make a big deal about it. We should have won game 1 and game 2 without the buzzer beater.

 

[The Young One]

Mo looks pathetic. Man up.

Hedo will get hot, I know he will. And who is going to cover Alston, Mo has been garbage against him. He keeps getting open looks bcuz of Lewis and Hedo.

If you just look at it in a simple minded way:

Hedo and Rashard are better than Mo and Delonte.

 

[elcheato]

Good question, who is going to cover Alston? Because NO ONE HAS. Mo Williams has not been covering Alston, if you actually noticed, it has been stated multiple times that LeBron is on Alston and is roaming.

You'll be hopping on a new bandwagon when the Master of panic and company blow there lead.

 

[The Young One]

Cavs taking the next game. But its over cheato that just reality.

 

[elcheato]

Nothing is over when you have the best player on the planet.

lmao I was kidding about liking the Magic. I just havent seen anything that would contradict otherwise for the Cavs to win this series. Lebron did EVERYTHING in the 4th quarter. And thats just not going to cut it.

It's pretty much over, it should have been over last night.
