    man, I hope the 6ers beat the magic in this series. 6ers are the most fun team too watch in the East, IMO.

    dwight howard - only 6 FGA.

    sound familiar?

    i think it is a testament to the way the NBA is these days where the hands down BEST two centers in the nba only get 6 shots in a playoff game. granted, orlando won so its all good for them, but still.

    Dont think so . Both centers are flawed. It actually makes Yao look worse because he is an offensive center but scores less that Dwight who is defensive oriented.

    They are the same offensively during the regular season, so one would expect similar production in the playoffs.

    I only briefly watched the game - I left it on in the background. But I also noticed they seemed to have trouble getting DH the ball, what happened?

    It is the difference between Hakeem and Mike Jordan
    the league did things to HELP Jordan
    but
    did things to HINDER Hakeem

    [i.e. the touch foul rules and allowing palming
    versus
    the banishment of illegal defenses and the 5 second count down in the block]

    The ability of the the Defense to camp one man in front and another in back
    has neutralized the Center Position. If the 'big' man makes room for hisself
    that is when the 'offensive fouls' start to get whistled

    Orlando is way overrated, so Rashard Lewis.

    Losing Jameer Nelson killed them. The Rafer band-aid held up during the regular season but they need Nelson's backcourt scoring in the playoffs to make an impact. I still think they will take this series.

    I can't believe how ineffective Hedo and Rashard are looking. Philly has some great athletes.

    wow Philly with 2 spectacular finishes, they've got the momentum going into the next game and can make it 3-1 over this so called "elite" contender.

    That was Lewis fault. U have the guy in the corner and yet u over pursue instead of playing position and get ur defense broken down for a layup.
