Congratulations to Orlando. they deserved the victory. Next game on the 28th of may. Good luck magic
 
The Magic haven't won the series yet. But it's nice to have a 3-1 advantage. They should have the killer instinct and try to finish it as soon as possible and do not give the Cavs momentum. :)
 
Cavs r in quite a predicament. Still we can't rule them out.
Remember their series in the conference finals against the Pistons a few year back when they reached the finals.
 
Out of the current crop of NBA superstars Lebron is the most unselfish one.Not his fault he's surrounded by good but not that good players and a seemingly clueless coach.Still the series is far from over.

ps i wonder what T.W.Is.M thinks of orlando and their constant three point shooting:p..they must be the nba's equivalent of Sienna or sth

If I was Orlando's coach I would continue go 1 on 1 with Lebron.
If I was Cleveland's coach I would play with only one center and 4 small guys.

As long as Orlando's 3s fall in, Cleveland has no chance. So they should help the threes out of the basket.

True, not even Jordan around whom the Bulls were shaped was so "alone", as he had Pippen, Kukoč and co. I also thing LeBron already has the bad habit of being the only centre of the team.
 
Orlando is just the better team. I don't know how the whole NBA has been so blinded against them. They are not just a soft, three-shooting bunch of guys. They are not Suns, or Warriors of a few years ago. (They are not like Siena either). They won many big games when they shoot terrible from downtown. (there was a very good article with numbers about this by Hollinger I guess).

Lebron is an exceptional player, but alone he could do only this much against a compact team. I'm not expert but as far as I could see this was Magic's plan all the way: make sure you stop everyone not named James.

The series is not over, and I think Magic knows this best after their bitter experience against Detroit.

Here is another gif from RealGM boards. The last two plays of the game, and look who's drawing up the play. Just a real scene, without any comments (before somebody jumps on me again :D)

LeBron had an almost Kobe-esque game last night. Except for the rebounds and assists.

When Pietrus first came to the NBA, did anybody expect him to become a three-point specialist?

Cleveland's downfall is mostly the fault of my posts. Apologies to the Cavs fans here and congratulations in advance to anyone rooting for Orlando.

Not news, they've been doing the same all year.

Best coach is not the one who can do everything, but the one who knows what he can't do
