So, the Magic walk into Cleveland. And take the first game from a team who lost TWO games at home all season. Mark my words, Magic in 5, this is the turning point.

LeBron has 49 and the Magic still win. That's ridiculous. Can't expect LeBron to do everything.

Precisely why if the Cavs go home this year, expect King James to go team shopping. Scoring 49 points on 60-some odd percent shooting (which is simply insane) and still losing is ridiculous.

This series is going at least 6 games. I didn't bother to watch the first game because I assumed Cleveland would roll over them. But now I see the Magic are giving them matchup problems, especially Howard vs. Iglauskus and the Cavs will finally be tested for once. Which is a good thing. They need it for the Lakers.

20/30 shooting is unheard of, though. The Cavs don't need to panic. No way the Magic shoot that hot throughout the whole series.

So you're telling me that the Magic can beat the Cavs in Celevland, but not in Orlando? :eek:

I'm saying that the Magic shot lights out....Cleveland had nine days off and the rust showed on most of the roster.....and yet, the Magic barely won. They DID win...but barely. I just feel that this was a wake up call for Cleveland.

Yup. You could be. Man, I don't know what happened to Cleveland. It is as if they thought Orlando would just roll over and not be ready due to the seven game series with Boston. Have to give the Magic props. They have played lights out in this series.

I agree, I'm happy for the Magic, they really came in as under dogs. This has been an AMAZING SERIES especially the really close finishes. I'd like to see the Magic in the NBA Finals, here's to one more game :beer:

Well, the Cavs stayed alive, thanks to LeBron. But I forsee a game 6 win for the Magic.

LeBron is going to come back and win the series. It's in David Stern's script.

They got exposed for what they were all along. Lebron and crew, and not a team.

Apparently the script changed at last minute. Instead of the Kobe vs Lebron marquee match up, they decided to go with Orlando vs LA. Both Denver and Cleveland went down convincingly this week. Who says the WWE doesn't have any influence on the NBA.

Meanwhile Lebron once again has to join his NBA buddies on that "fishing" trip.

Well, Kobe and Phil will get another ring. "Sigh". The NBA just sucks major cow dung!

Can you wait until at least game 1 before you start killing my false hope of Orlando winning. Basically, I was going to root for the East team no matter who one. Of course, I would have been more neutral if it was Denver vs Orlando/Cleveland. But since the Lakers are involved in the finals again (holds the record for appearances) I know who to root for by default.

The truth is Orlando might give LA more competition than Cleveland would have if you look at the whole teams and not just the star players. On that same note Laker's depth may make the difference.
