The game 5 thread has turned ugly. no more game talk anymore in there so... the mods let that one go a day early so I figure I'll give this one a shot.
I like the way Mo came out firing AND hitting the shots. We haven't seen that all series. He was aggressive, Delonte was aggressive as well. Z and Andydid a decent job on Dwight. He didn't get too many easy dunks. We did a much better job of getting out and defending the 3. We haven't won inOrlando all year, now would be a great time to start.
I like Brons attitude. He was still joking around, smiles with the fans, tossing up the underhand halfcourt shots while warming up. When he was asked aboutstuff like that he said somethin like "I've been in every game possible, game 5's, game 6's, game 7's, nothin to be worried about" or something to that extent. He said he's gonna go out and do what he has to do and his teammates know what they have to do also.
I expect them to come out strong early again. We've had early leads in most of these games, hanging on to that lead is what we had a hard time with. Gowith what works, post up Bron and when the doubles come, get those dimes. Mo, Delonte, Andy, Bron, all gotta take it right at D12. If he picks up some earlyfouls he can't be as aggressive as he wants to be. Delonte went out with a sore hip from what I read. He should be ready to go. Knowing how he plays andfrom talking to him before, the only way he sits is if he loses a leg to a shark attack swimming in the ocean today.
ESPN polls have Magic closing us out down there. The ESPN "experts" were all wrong before so lets hope they are again. Like I said in the last gamethread, I didn't want last night to be the last game I go to this year.
EDIT: Whats the over/under on # of pages a game 6 thread will get if Cavs win and if they lose? ~80 if they win, ~135 if they lose
