    What about one of the last plays of the game? When Howard clearly blocked Lebron's 3.... but it's lebron and he cured cancer, so lets let him shoot.

    I don't see the Cavs winning game 4... LeBron will get his usual 40.. won't matter. They were lucky to lose by only 10... Dwight was on the bench for so long.. they still didn't take the lead at halftime.

    I agree with you. I think they'll take Game 4. Even if they don't, they will play the hardest they have played all season.

    Same thing I was thinking. I didn't know he had 40 until he announced it. It just didn't have that feel, I guess because the pace of the game.

    I think the refs make sure Cleveland wins game 4.

    Because the Cavs dont have any players like Gasol caliber. Hell, even Lamar Odom is better than the any of the Cavs players not named Lebron.

    There even some posters here claimed kobe carried the lakers yesterday in the 4th quarter and questioned Lebron. Come on, Lakers won yesterday not just because of Kobe, Gasol's clutchness was one of the main reasons lakers won yesterday!

    Dwight missed an entire game earlier in the playoffs and the Magic won easily without him. The Rockets did something similar. All I'm saying is that Dwight being in foul trouble doesn't mean the Magic should automatically give up leads/games.

    I agree, but someone besides LeBron better show up.

    Cleveland fans can't even use an excuse of saying they played bad tonight to make themselves feel good because Rashard and Hedo played bad too.

    True... but Dwight gets everyone in foul trouble for the Cavs. It should affect them some how... can't say not having Dwight in the game makes them better. It's like that Tracy McGrady effect that people say we're a better team than T-Mac, when that is simply not true.

    Very true. It's almost like having 2 Derek Fishers in the backcourt playing next to LeBron. OK, maybe not that bad...

    AGAIN..... they are doing it for both players and it is a joke. You are just completely ignoring they are doing this for Dwight as well. Every time he touched the ball in the 4th qrt. they called a foul. Did you see the one they called on Verajao? Dwight pushed him off with his hand and Dwight got free throws.

    So the question is - after LeBron benefits from no less than 24 free throws.

    Does Stern concede - or send in the national guard.

    LBJ's supporting cast sucks.

    Ilgauskas already don't have the legs. I bet he won't show up in the next 2 games.

    Easy win by the Magic. Not a good game by boths team but Magic got enough to win. Anthony Johnson just roughed the mind out of Mo Williams. LOL!

    they are doing it for both yes... but way more for lebron... i guess because he has more chances to get fouls.. b/c he drives to the basket, and does not have a jump shot.

    Well the biggest difference is, they are actually hacking and hammering Dwight to make him go to the free throw line.

    LeBron is running over guys and he still gets to the free throw line.

    Two different situations there.

    Now remember that Cleveland had the best record in the league... just saying. .. but i would LOVE to hear some more excuses for Lebron.

    Agreed... they are not better without him in the long run. I think the change in pace and look is only effective every once in a while. The Rockets looked good for a couple of games minus Yao but, in the end, we got blown out a more than once without that inside presence.
