Killer instinct starts right now for the Magic......

Lebron will take over but will he have help in the end..........

 

[VC15]

Where the hell is the Magic help defense right now?

EDIT: Howard fouled out, but what a clutch and one by Pietrus on the other end.

 

[RipCity32]

Heading back to Orlando.

Lakers/Cavs

I don't know how we're going to steal game 6 away, we just need to hope this Mo Williams shows up in Orlando. Great game by him, 6/9 from the 3PT line.

And of course LeBron with the take over in the 4th quarter, and a triple double.

 

[Mexi]

lol George Karl flew in Coby Karl to speak to his team on the Tri offense and how to stop it

 

[cruzg24]

Man Ima genius, I said Mo would have to get hot and he did. I said Hedo was going to get hot and he did. Nice game by the Cavs, Lebron just took over that game in the 4th. Can he do it again?

 

[Mexi]

LeBron can and will. Orlando doesn't care

can everyone else get hot on the road?
barkely said it. If your star has a game like that, you should win in a blowout. They still barely won tonight AT HOME.

idk looks tough. but i still think Cleveland wins

 

[elcheato]

LeBron did this against the Pistons in 2007 in Game 5, and we won in double OT and ended up winning the series. Don't have to win in a blow out, just have to win the games..

if the nba was played with a sock, delonte west would be the lebron james js

 

[Lake Louise]

Not suprised one bit that the Cavs won tonight. Although they won, by 10 in fact, they steal blew another big lead, which is why Orlando should close it out in Game 6.

An NBA playoff series doesn\\\'t begin until you have a good ol\\\' referee conspiracy.

Conspiracy theory, I should add.

And a deeply flawed one.

Nonetheless, we\\\'re in for an interesting day in the Los Angeles area Thursday now that a member of the Nuggets has told the Denver Post -- anonymously, of course -- that he believes the Lakers bought their 103-94 victory over the Nuggets in Game 5 Wednesday night for the very reasonable price of $50,000.

For those keeping score at home, that\\\'s how much Lakers coach Phil Jackson and the Lakers paid in fines for complaining about the officiating after Game 4.

\\\"The Lakers paid $50,000 to win that game,\\\" the anonymous Nuggets player told the Post. \\\"They got their money\\\'s worth.\\\"

[Dice-J]

Magic will end it Saturday night

 

[MapleLeaf]

where's mexi

 

[.loggie]

no matter how hard i try, i can't picture Orlando in the Finals
i do want the Magic to win but i can't see LeBron letting them

 

[Mexi]

Lakers aren't mentally tough
Lakers can't win 2 games in Denver
Lakers don't have heart
Lakers are soft
Denver is too physical

blah blah blah

Lakers are in the Finals again, and just murdered Denver.
See ya next year Melo

 

[cruzg24]

Great job by the Lakers, I really thought that they werent going to step it up against the Nuggets. I thought they were going to get pushed around but they werent. Lets see if the Lakers can get it done this time.

Congrats to the Lakers. I knew it was too good to be true, to wish for both Denver & Orlando in the Finals. Cant stop both Cleveland & LA. Although, LA wasn`t stopped, doesn`t mean Cleveland cant be. It would`ve been nice to see this series go to Game 7 though. I really didn`t think LA was going to step it up in Denver, but they sure showed me, and a bunch of other people. Congrats to Denver on making it this far, and too bad they couldn`t get to the Finals, but there is always next year.
