Lebron is having the same problem Kobe had a few years ago. He's basically playing 5 against 1 out there.

**McLegend** · 05-26-2009, 11:56 PM

Now see this is interesting. Every time the Magic have had to eliminate someone They have done it, and showed no mercy while doing it too. Destroyed both the Sixers and the Celtics.

Now though every time they have had pressure on themselves they lose. Now the pressure is fully on them.

Also though Cleveland could easily be swept now or even be up 3-1. I think Cleveland can do it.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-27-2009, 12:12 AM

Pretty crazy to think that this series could be over with a Magic sweep if LeBron missed that shot in game 2 or the Cavs could be up 3-1 if Mo Williams hit that shot in game 1/LeBron hit that shot tonight. Granted they both would have been ridiculous shots but still.

**SammyG** · 05-27-2009, 12:14 AM

lol Mo Williams getting interviewed after guarenteeing a win in game 4. Looks mad embarassed.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-27-2009, 12:18 AM

I thought he guaranteed making the Finals?

**HeartBreakMan2k** · 05-27-2009, 12:53 AM

Very happy with the way this Orlando-Cleveland series is going. I actually picked Orlando in two out of three of my pools (had Boston in the third) so I'm looking to make some money. Plus I'd love to see Skip with a NBA ring.

**Loose Cannon** · 05-27-2009, 12:57 AM

yea, he guaranteed a series win.

Lebron kind of showed a lot of his youngness tonight. He missed some clutch free throws, he forced up a lot of awkward shots and he even kicked it out a couple of times when he had good looks.

Williams and West played better tonight, but still, not good enough. Most of the CAVS points were in the paint and that should not be there game. The Magic have some tremendous shooters and good bench presence.

how much did you bet?

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-27-2009, 01:16 AM

LeBron still looked real confident after the game, Mo Williams on the other hand did not.

COME ON D-WIGHT, GET SOME REBOUNDS

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-27-2009, 03:20 PM

I don't get why LeBron needs to leave Cleveland for a "big market." He's going to get a max contract no matter where he goes and he is already like the most marketable player in the NBA. With the TV & Internet you don't need to be in a big market to be a "star"

Still though he should come to Boston when Ray Allen is off the books in 2010...................................................

**SammyG** · 05-27-2009, 03:53 PM

lol, Bron KG Pierce. Fuck that.

**Testicle** · 05-27-2009, 03:58 PM

I doubt he would end up in Boston, more likely in New York for the Nets.

**SammyG** · 05-27-2009, 04:14 PM

.... you mean Jersey.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-27-2009, 04:35 PM

Nets are trying to move to Brooklyn, running into some snags right now but I think it'll happen eventually.

I don't think LeBron will come to Boston, that would be sick though. If I was him I wouldn't go to the Knicks, he would just set himself back with his championship hopes. They would be like a 6th seed. I could see him going to the Bulls to play with Derrick Rose or some other team that already has a young nucleus of good players.

**Savio** · 05-27-2009, 04:42 PM

If the nuggets win tonight I will be SO HAPPY

**Juan** · 05-27-2009, 05:13 PM

If the Cleveland Lebrons come back and win the series, get ready to hear about it 24/7 on ESPN for about 2 weeks.

**SammyG** · 05-27-2009, 05:50 PM

Must win tonight for both teams. Winner of this game is winning the series. Let's go LA.

**Savio** · 05-27-2009, 05:53 PM

Lets go Nuggets

How many Techs does Kobe have?

**Juan** · 05-27-2009, 06:08 PM

5

**SammyG** · 05-27-2009, 06:16 PM

FU Savior_Self

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-27-2009, 06:37 PM

I think the Lakers win tonight, Nuggets win game 6. Dunno what happens in game 7

**SammyG** · 05-27-2009, 06:45 PM

game 7 goes to LA, if it goes to it, which I think it will....

Road teams just can't win a game 7...

oh wait Orlando won .OH WELL. I don't think Kobe is gonna let LA lose this series.

That being said. I want Pau and Drew to get more touches today.

**Savio** · 05-27-2009, 07:54 PM

I'd say who ever wins tonight wins the series

**Savio** · 05-27-2009, 08:55 PM

Any one know if Carmelo is still sick?

**The Gold Standard** · 05-27-2009, 09:03 PM

Melo is the man. I want to see Dwight v Melo in the finals.

**Savio** · 05-27-2009, 09:38 PM

Damn Melo, 1/5 tonight

Not to mention the Cavs will still be set up better to win an NBA title than the Knicks or Nets in 2011, unless the Knicks find a way to set up their cap situation in order to land both LeBron and Bosh in the same summer or something.

**SammyG** · 05-27-2009, 10:23 PM

So everyone here suckin the Nugget cock. awesome.

Anyway. Thank god for Sasha hitting that three.. gives us SOME momentum

**Savio** · 05-27-2009, 10:36 PM

I only like the nuggets cuz Carmelo went to Syracuse.

**HeartBreakMan2k** · 05-27-2009, 11:02 PM

Watching this game got me thinking. Fuck who your favorite team is, this year's playoffs have been what made me love fucking basketball. My enthusiasm never left, but that fire I had for it as a kid had been gone. This though, this years playoffs have been fucking drama. Tight games, and teams just playing it all out there. Awesome.

Same here...the past few years I've been pretty close to abandoning the NBA and haven't had a rooting interest in any team in particular. Larry Harris killed any love I had for the Bucks growing up, and I've taken a passing interest in the Knicks since I go to school on Long Island and they're always on so I try to catch a few games.

This postseason's been great...one of the craziest series I've ever seen in Chicago/Boston, Orlando making the leap from "good by Eastern Conference standards" to legit title contenders, the heavily favored Lakers having to fight through every series they've played in, Carmelo Anthony finally realizing that potential, LeBron's buzzer beater, etc. Best postseason I can remember since like 1998 when the Bulls and Pacers had that crazy seven game series in the East Finals.

I still don't have a real favorite team, but this has been incredible to watch as a fan of the game. First time in years that the NBA playoffs have rivaled the excitement of the NCAA tournament for me.
