One interesting side show will be Lebron meeting
Dwight Howard at the rim. Howard is one guy
that can go up and get him. Of course Howard can
also get faked out of his pants.

Howard is a sissy who doesn't want to do anything but swat shots out of bounds and dunk with no one guarding him. I'm not even a LeBron fan, but he'd murder Howard. The first time he dunks on him will be the last because Howard will stop challenging him.

And even wronger on this.

Howard proved that Perkins was just a bad matchup for him because of his strength. Perk's one of the NBA's dozen or so strongest players, and against the average center, Howard can dominate offensively and defensively. It's really about to be do or die time for Andrew Bynum to see if he's a legitimate starting center based on what he can do against Howard.

Orlando is a really good team, and doesn't take nights off like the Lakers do. They also have enough athletic wings to bother Kobe and Gasol will turtle up again if he can't get his way. Van Gundy is nuts if he puts Howard on anybody but Gasol if he's not in foul trouble. Everyone's going to pick L.A. like they did last year, but this Magic team has proven itself over and over in these playoffs.

Honey, you have to realize who they are playing.

If they play like they did against the Celtics they will be swept in 4 games.

yes, it all boils down to the prefix to Cavaliers. It still says "Cleveland". That is a massive burden to overcome regardless of how good they may be. Orlando matches up better against Cleveland better than anyone in the league other than perhaps LA. I would have much preferred to play the Garnett and Powe-less Celtics.

Told you. Cleveland can't play that team. Just because it's the Eastern Conference finals doesn't mean that magically they can match up with them. They got drilled both games in Orlando this year and won a nail biter in Cleveland. Tonight was another nail bighter in Cleveland and they didn't get lucky this time. That's all it takes for Orlando to win the series. No way will Cleveland win a game in Orlando. Magic in 6.

I've been following Cleveland sports for 37 years very closely. Ok...so they get by this series...big deal they then lose the next one. It's all moot.

I hope Cleveland loses too. I've seen no championships in the city in 43 years of living. I really deserve to see none. So yeah, I really hope they lose. I really know they'll win game 2?? LIke I knew they'd win game 1?? Is that how it works?

in all fairness, that game could have gone either way. Cleveland had the lead with 14 seconds left. Lewis hits a big shot, West misses a shot he hit 1 minute earlier and now we are talking about cleveland winning A GAME on the road.
