Ratio of bad calls are like 99:1 Cavs to Magic. Cavs are getting a free ride. Still they suck so much that they still cant win. Unless something shocking happens magic should win this series. They are easily the better team. Hedo has not even shown up offensively so far. He will have a big game for sure.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
Great all around game by the Nuggets, especially since Melo was under the weather and had some sore ankles. Melo played his worst game of the playoffs so far and the Nuggets still won. Our bench was spectacular.
Hopefully we can play like this for game 5 and have Melo back to his game 1/2 form.
And thankfully we were up enough to not have Kobe do his 4th quarter magic against us.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
It's hard for me to like the Nuggets with how much Dahntay Jones pisses me off. The league needs to suspend his dirty ass. That's what 2 games in a row now that he's had a dirty shot on Kobe.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
JR Smith waking up is good for the Nuggets. If Billups, Smith, and Melo are all going in Game 5, the Lakers are effed.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
I'm near-praying the Cavs make a better effort tonight.
Nonetheless, their holier-than-thou 'tude post-game sort-of irritated me (esp. Mo Williams)

Of course they had to give Sager the pink construction helmet.

From now on, no one can complain about how their city never wins championships. Cleveland, you suck at everything. I can't believe I've been a Cleveland fan for over 10 years.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
Cavs can't beat Orlando. I think this is over in 5. Better than losing in 7 or in the finals I guess. /silverlining

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
the cavs need a team around lebron. Seriously, the cavs don't have a very good supporting cast. Lebron might be the best player but the Magic are the better team.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
The supporting cast is usually fine. But right now, they're looking insecure, are shooting lousy (though game 4 was an improvement -- despite what the stats say), and can't find a defensive scheme that works.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
Yeah Mo and Delonte both hit some clutch shots in the fourth quarter. And they did it when they were playing small and driving to the basket. Maybe Mike Brown will finally have it knocked in his head that going small is the only way to win. Z can't guard Howard .. at all. He's a liability both offensively and defensively at the moment.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
It's very simple. The Cavs need a veteran big whose name isn't Ben Wallace. Everything else is in place.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
Cavs should have traded for Shaq earlier in the season. I don't see any answer for them right now. None of their bigs can guard Howard, and if they double it leaves somebody open for 3, and the Magic are loaded with terrific shooters who you can't leave open.
If I were Mike Brown, I would go at Howard a ton early in the game to hope to get him in foul trouble. Having him on the bench is their best bet.

 Re: NBA 2008-2009 season
Odom's definitely the X factor for the Lakers. When he's on they're unbeatable. Unfortunately that doesn't happen too often in the playoffs
