Sheed is out there somewhere saying Ball don't lie and Go Orlando. Magic are going to win this series, Cavs looked pathetic tonight. They wanted to make it the LeBron show and the Magic still won. Pathetic performance by the Cavs.
So Dwight Howard shooting 19 free throws is nothing. They are doing it for both players, don't be naive.
They had the best record in the league so I don't know how overrated they are. But without LBJ, they would be trash. He carries them on his back game after game but, to win, the Cavs need at least 2 other guys to behave like NBA players. When Mo Williams and Delonte West play like garbage and they get zip from their bench, it's hard for the Cavs to beat good teams. People, realize it's only 2-1. The Cavs can win game 4 and even it out. This series isn't over. Don't get too caught up in the moment.
Like someone else has said ITS FRIGGIN 2-1, Cavs are a good road team, they can come back with a good performance and I wouldn't be so confident in Rafer and Hedo.
The 3 things that the Cavaliers had going for them was (1) the greatness of LeBron, (2) a great defense, and (3) on one of those rolls that teams get on like the Rockies in baseball a few years ago and the Mavericks before GS punked them, where everything goes right for you. Now that #3 has been eliminated, and #2 has been shown to be not as good as many thought, it may be hard-pressed for Cleveland to win this series. They are just not as talented as the Magic.
I expect Cleveland to win the next game. Orlando has been very inconsistent this playoffs. They went up 2-1 against Boston and a lot of people thought they would put Boston away quickly but it ended up going 7.
