That's the realest stuff I've ever seen come out of Skip n Jamele Hills mouth. Props to them on calling the refs out like that, Idon't think too many people in the media would do that

I just heard Lebron's ride to the hotel stalled on the freeway. Something about the clutch.

We were down 0-2 to the Pistons on 06, they basically wiped the court with us, we won the next 3 games and had a chance to win the series in 6.
We were down 0-2 to the Pistons in 07, two heartbreaking losses where people thought we blew our best chance to in a game in Detroit, we won the next 4 gamesto advance to the finals
We were down 0-2 to the Celtics in 08, we took them to 7 and had a chance to win game 7.
This is the 4th year in a row we've been down 1-2 against the team we expected to give us the most trouble. Do things really look worse now than they didthe past 3 years? People act as if we have chance at all. We've certainly been in a position to have a chance to win all 3 games in this series.
Win our two at home and win one of the two remaining road games and we advance. Certainly I would prefer we were up 2-1 or 3-1. And I recognize we have to playbetter than we have.
But I am surprised at the number of people who are giving up on this team. The same thing happened in game 2. With 1 second left, hundreds of people left the Qduring the time out. They paid good money to be at the game, but missed one of the biggest moments in franchise history because they gave up on the team.
Since LeBron's been drafted, this team has been one of the more resilient teams in the NBA.
Go Cavs

What is there to argue against?
You should know them people up there aint about basketball, or Cavs for that matter.
Soon as things was looking relatively bleak they leave? That should tell you all you need to know right there.
Good luck in game 4, yall need it.

OC, as a Magic fan the last thing I'm doing it doubting the Cavs. If their supporting cast can start knocking down shots and keep the pressure on all game,they're one of the best teams in the NBA.
The Magic came back from two big leads in games 1 and 2 to win and barely lose (thanks to an amazing shot by James) respectively. The longer the Cavs hangaround the greater the chance their supporting players will finally step up.

exactly. I dont know if the Cavs will win this series, but there are a LOT of people already counting them out. If they take game 4 this serieswill look a whole lot different.Originally Posted by 651akathePaul
If the Cavs take home Game 4 everyone will say the Cavs are gonna win the series. People get too caught in the last game....There's still a long ways to go with this.

This is true, but why is it that we're heading into game 4 and these role players have yet to step up like they're supposed to? What moremotivation do you need?
- You're crowned as the best team in the conference....or the League for that matter
- You lost home court
- Rafer being more effective than Mo
- Pietrus and Lee being more effective than Z and D West

1) Through 3 games, the Magic have been the better team
2) LeBron could go bonkers in game 4
3) If the Cavs can eke out a victory in game 4, they'll have regained home court advantage in a best of 3

some people are just not built for big time play AKA everyone on the cavs not named bron
and its not just shot making for the cavs they cant stop the magic from scoring when they need to

I say that to get reactions like this but only a few take the bait
I got my #%+ covered on both ends? Those are the only real truths here. Orlando is better and the only way they lose is if the cavs keep getting ref help whichis very likely
Also the cavs would not have swept the celtics either or it would not have been easy.
The magic and celtics are both battle tested and both have heart which is something the cavs lacked this year. The cavs usually go into panic mode in crunchtime

I agree with everything you said (I said something similar in an earlier post) except the "team being one of the more resilient"...nahhomie, it's all LeBron and it's always been him...
But the series is not over...yet. It would have been if Bron missed that shot...but he didn't. The Cavs are only down one game, folks.
Word.

great win for my magic. I'm still satisfied how we are playing against the cavs and the refs and defying the odds..
One thing that does worry me, Ive been a fan of lebron since 11th grade. I've met him personally and watched him since he was in my same grade and respectwhere he comes from and all that. If the cavs lose this series, its a bad look because bron is ballin and his cast are not, I want lebron to start and finishhis career with cleveland. I dont wan't to see him start over with a crappy franchise like the knicks and have to rebuild chemistry and all that..
Im always team>player so no matter what I want my magic to win, I just dont want bron to take the loss wrong and start talking about leaving again

and this is on the "COY"
Mike Brown needs to throw a small lineup out there with Bron at the 4.
having 2 bigs on the floor defensively aint workin, and doesn't offer much offensively either. is Hickson available? hell if you gota go 2 bigs just causethat's what you do, at least throw an athlete out there.
and GET OUT AND RUN.

.nah homie, it's all LeBron and it's always been him...
