Oh and Toronto lost the series because of losing homecourt in game 1, we played like shit on the road for the rest of the series and could never steal it back. Was a learning experience too, nobody on the team had been in the playoffs. Ford, Bosh, Bargnani is enough to stand above Orlando easily. Could get a 3 position rebounder/defender this offseason too to help.

If they can't even protect home court, then they suck. It's not a "learning" experience unless they change, and they won't.

Everyone else will suck, save for Orlando. :up:

I'm going to sleep.

Other than Howard, who exactly do the Magic have. I'm at a loss. Turkoglu? Darko?

They're going to be shit Chip.

And holy hell, what's with the Orlando loving all of a sudden? Do you pick your fanboy teams out of a hat? What's the relation there

I'm not loving Orlando. I'm just hating on the other shitty teams.

You guys are hating on Orlando for essentially no reason. They made the playoffs, and with a better coach, they should win at least 5 more games. That's all I've been saying. 5 games could mean the difference between 8th and 5th.

The East is VERY weak, save for the Pistons/Bulls/Cavs. It's pathetic. Miami is obviously done for a while, they got swept by a young Chicago team... hmm... a learning experience? That's a real one! Winning a damn series is a learning experience, losing does NOTHING to your moral.

And I've always been a fan of Grant Hill... oh yeah, he was huge in Detroit.

The Magic got swept and weren't even close in any of the games

What the fuck are you talking about anyways. Losing homecourt advantage in game 1 means they'll always be terrible? How does that make any sense at all Chip?

Magic started off 13-4 and then played like total sub-.500 shit until the final stretch where they picked it up against teams who were tanking/didn't care. Their opposition to making the playoffs were the Pacers and Knicks. Their second best player is gone. The other East teams won't suck this year. The Bucks should have a much better nucleus of players. A new coach doesn't guarantee them anything, let alone 5 extra wins.

You suck.

You're a terrible argue-er...

Heh...

You say tomato... I say they won't suck... o...

Whatever, I'm done

ANOTHER ARGUMENT WON!!!

Gibson is already 10x the player Damon Jones is.

looks like another game shaping up to go right down to the wire. i just hope the cavs can avoid their usual 3rd quarter slump.

wow...what was that? an actual DECENT 3rd quarter for the cavs? they actually outscored detroit 19-18. this one is gonna have a hell of a finish!

CLASSIC Cleveland. Losing the game at the foul line.

LeBron just raped Piston's defense.....twice

"It's like having an extra pair of lungs, but on your face."

Whoever hired the monotone David Blane as the NBA commercial man should be shot and then put in a block of ice.

Nothing but nothingness.

STUPID CAVS COACHES!!
DUMB MOVE ON JAMES TO SHOOT IT LONG INSTEAD OF TAKING IT TO THE HOLE!!

pretty much the worst 10 seconds of basketball ever played

FUCK YEAH!!! CAVS WIN!!

LEBRON IS A GOD

Best Game Ever

Fuck!

This has been one hell of a series... just too bad that it's not falling the Pistons way the last few games.

It's hilarious how people can say he's the most over-hyped star alive... and then go on to say this.



Cleveland is not winning this series.

what in the heck. wow, lol.

All honesty though, Bron Bron deserves credit for hitting everything, but Flip did a terrible job there. How hard is it to put 2 guys constantly on him and force him to pass it? Cavs were playing the most uncreative game of all time and they knew it. Larry Brown would slaughtered these Cavs. Plus individual decisions... the last regulation play consisting of Billups jacking up an awkward 3-point, only putting on guy on Lebron on the final score and letting him have a layup. Once it got to 13-14 straight points something should've clicked in.

It's like 300, except take out 299 and replace the baddies from millions to 5.

LeBron doing it all by himself, James should be complaining way more then Kobe...... but he doesnt have to because James can play 1 on 5 if he has to. One of the best performances i've seen.......ever

Lets also put some blame on that shitty crowd, my gawd, one of the worst crowds in a double ot game i've ever heard, you could probably get more excitement from a preseason game.
