Cleveland@Orlando Game 3

[Lebron4MVP]

Here we go! If the Cavs can keep playing consistent for 48 minutes, they will win this game easily. They had 16 and 23 point leads in the first 2 games. If they actually keep playing, Orlando is fucked.

[Allanon]

Should be a great game. Go CAVS!!!

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

thank you, i didnt want to make it since when I did we lost game 1

[NewJerSpur]

We'll go with your thread....mine was late. LOLOL.

[Lebron4MVP]

thank you, i didnt want to make it since when I did we lost game 1


Hopefully a winning streak for the Cavs begins with me starting it tonight. :toast

[Allanon]

I thought it was odd nobody had created a thread...thought I had missed it.

[Lebron4MVP]

We'll go with your thread....mine was late. LOLOL.


:rollin You were off by 2 minutes.

[NewJerSpur]

I thought it was odd nobody had created a thread...thought I had missed it.

I think this series is playing or everyone's nerves....people are too locked in. :lol

[Lebron4MVP]

Should be a great game. Go CAVS!!!


Wait arent you rooting for Orlando? You would have HCA against them in the Finals.

[NewJerSpur]

:rollin You were off by 2 minutes.

Too much rambling. :lol

[Allanon]

If the Michael Jordan of Turkey shows up big again tonight, it's going to be a long night for the Cavs.

[NewJerSpur]

Wait arent you rooting for Orlando? You would have HCA against them in the Finals.

Lakers don't need it in that potential series.

EDIT: I meant the Cavs series.

[Allanon]

Wait arent you rooting for Orlando? You would have HCA against them in the Finals.

Nah, I"m rooting for the Cavaliers.

The Magic 3 point shooters would rip the Lakers a new one; plus Dwight is too strong for Gasoft.

[Lebron4MVP]

Lakers don't need it in that potential series.


You think LA matches up better with Cleveland than Orlando? Just curious.

[Jacko]

Actually the one guy that straight killed us on the Magic was Jameer Nelson. If he isn't there I'm not as worried about the Magic as I otherwise would be. Both of our regular season games went down to the wire and it was Nelson who was sinking the daggers left and right against us.

[Lebron4MVP]

Nah, I"m rooting for the Cavaliers. The Magic 3 point shooters would rip the Lakers a new one; plus Dwight is too strong for Gasoft.


You really think Orlando would be a much tougher draw than Lebron and company? Im not trying to start any shit talking. It is just that I have a laker buddy of mine who is praying that Orlando wins this series. He is scared of the Cavs.

[Allanon]

I think this series is playing or everyone's nerves....people are too locked in. :lol

:lol Yah, this series has me locked in for sure...intense stuff.

[Jacko]

Alright let's go Magic!

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

If the Michael Jordan of Turkey shows up big again tonight, it's going to be a long night for the Cavs.

i def have to agree with you son, i think if they give dwight more touches were in trouble imo

[NewJerSpur]

You think LA matches up better with Cleveland than Orlando? Just curious.

Well, they proved they could beat the Cavs at home or on the road. Odom was a beast on the boards against the Cavs frontline last time they played and Kobe/Ariza=Lewis/Hedo....tough guards on the perimeter with plenty of range. Bad matchup for the Cavs. Gasol also has a better game in the post than Howard....too many weapons.

[Allanon]

You really think Orlando would be a much tougher draw than Lebron and company? Im not trying to start any shit talking. It is just that I have a laker buddy of mine who is praying that Orlando wins this series. He is scared of the Cavs.

It's about matchups. The Magic are like the Lakers of the East, except better at 3 point shooting and stronger in the paint. It's a terrible matchup for the Lakers.

Against the Cavs, it's a much better matchup, LeBron owns his position but most other positions are favored to the Lakers.

And it's no disrespect to the Cavs, just they don't matchup well with the Lakers.

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

get this thing started

[NewJerSpur]

Let's go magic!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Game on folks.

[NewJerSpur]

Cavs look flat early on....the Magic FINALLY start exploiting the Hedo/West matchup.

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

missed jumpers to start

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

woooow what a late whistle, they waited to see if it went in or not

[NewJerSpur]

Call was late, but it was good.

[NewJerSpur]

Rafeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!

[Allanon]

Verajao with 2 fouls already, that's not good.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic defending the Cavs screen plays better early on.

[NewJerSpur]

Oh no....

[NewJerSpur]

Dwight can't stay out of foul trouble to save his life in this series.

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

uhhhhh ohhhhhhh

[Allanon]

Now Dwight with 2 fouls. hahah.

[Allanon]

What's with Mike Brown not calling timeouts...is he like Phil Jackson? Team's down 10 and no timeout.

[NewJerSpur]

Looks like LeBron is shortarming all of his shots....if that keeps up and the Magic keep stroking they're in good shape. Damn early fouls on Howard suck....he was beasting on Z.

[NewJerSpur]

What's with Mike Brown not calling timeouts...is he like Phil Jackson? Team's down 10 and no timeout.

:lol

I noticed that too.

[ballhog]

Bullshit foul calls on Howard.

[IronMexican]

Orlando scares the fuck out of me. I want Cleveland to advance, even if it means no HCA for LA.

[NewJerSpur]

Alston's on fire.

[LakerHater]

Goaltend!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Can you block a ball over the cylinder like that?

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

chase him down lebron

[Jacko]

The Cavs are in serious trouble.

None of their role players are even getting daylight on any of their shots.

[KidCongo]

Don't give up on any play Cavs.

[KidCongo]

Lee will be looking over his shoulder all night now.

[NewJerSpur]

The Cavs are in serious trouble.

None of their role players are even getting daylight on any of their shots.

:tu These aren't the Atlanta Hawks. :lol

[ballhog]

Nice goaltend. Shit refs.

[Armando]

So I guess goaltending does not apply to LeCrab?

[NewJerSpur]

Lee will be looking over his shoulder all night now.

Next time he'll dunk it on LeBron again just to make sure. No worries.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Lebron is the only player that has the speed and hops to block the shit out of a fastbreak basket frequently....:pimpslap

[pauls931]

Wow, I knew Lebron could foul on blocks, but goal tend too? Amazing.

[NewJerSpur]

So I guess goaltending does not apply to LeCrab?

We're all witnesses.

[KidCongo]

Next time he'll dunk it on LeBron again just to make sure. No worries.

:lol How's he gunna do that when LBJ is behind him?

[NewJerSpur]

Obvious goaltend.

[NewJerSpur]

:lol How's he gunna do that when LBJ is behind him?

He'll wait for LeBron to catch up. :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What's with Mike Brown not calling timeouts...is he like Phil Jackson? Team's down 10 and no timeout.

I was calling for a timeout at the 6 minute mark...nothing :lol

[KidCongo]

OMG fuckin Rafer.

[sonic21]

I don't like all these touch-fouls being called. Let them play ref.

[SpursFanFirst]

We're all witnesses.

I had to log in just to :lol at this response.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Mike Brown you better step up

[Pistons < Spurs]

Courtney Lee is a stud.

[NewJerSpur]

Rafer needs to stop trying to throw alley-oops....he isn't as good at it as he was on the blacktops, lol.

[sonic21]

If Lebron can't hit the jumpshot, this is going to be a long game for the Cavs.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Gortat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Courtney Lee is a stud.

Lee is owning Sasha...GET IT OUT LEBRON!!!

[Libri]

Gortat blocks Lebron.

[Armando]

Gortat!

[sonic21]

nice block!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I can't believe the Cavs are only down 7 , if they had made their shots and not committed 8 turnovers they would have been leading by this point, just like the first two games

[NewJerSpur]

Magic defense looks crisp....nice pacing to the game for them.

[KidCongo]

Well at least they didn't get some BS 3 to end the 1st which would have pushed it to double digits.

[sonic21]

Bout time, Big Z does something

[Lebron4MVP]

I can't believe the Cavs are only down 7 , if they had made their shots and not committed 8 turnovers they would have been leading by this point, just like the first two games


They arent making their shots because they are being contested. The Magic D is playing great. Give them credit.

[NewJerSpur]

Cavs look slow defending the perimeter and have no presence at the rim.

[pauls931]

What happened to howard?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Mike Brown = the emperor with no clothes....

He's going to make Lebron play 48 minutes because he doesn't know how to adjust to Ron Jeremy's defensive scheme

Coach Pop's pupil needs to fix this bullshit, he can't lose to that Frontrunner, SVG.

[me15lo]

magic should be up by more

[Armando]

Its amazing that even at home the refs always find a way to put Howard on the bench

[Lebron4MVP]

Cavs look slow defending the perimeter and have no presence at the rim.


Now I know why the Lakers are pulling for us. God knows they will expose us even worse. :depressed

[j.dizzle]

pretty boring game so far..hopefully dwight comes back in soon cuz if he doesnt all we're gonna see is..jumpshot, jumpshot, three, jumpshot, three, jumpshot, jumpshot, jumpshot, three haha

[NewJerSpur]

What happened to howard?

2 fouls....but at least he'll be fresh coming off the bench.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

They arent making their shots because they are being contested. The Magic D is playing great. Give them credit.

Yeah, well I was thinking about the opening sequence where they missed 7 open shots on one possession :lol Other than that yeah the Magic D is forcing careless turnovers..

[Armando]

magic should be up by more



Makes me think if the game is close we might see a repeat of the 3rd quarter of Denver/LA. The 3rd quarter became the Ref show.

[me15lo]

pretty boring game so far..hopefully dwight comes back in soon cuz if he doesnt all we're gonna see is..jumpshot, jumpshot, three, jumpshot, three, jumpshot, jumpshot, jumpshot, three haha

and plenty of dumb plays by alston

[NewJerSpur]

Damn pietrus!!!

[KidCongo]

Lets go Joe. Turnovers suck!

[sonic21]

what the hell are the magic doing?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

About time! Cavs players are loosening up...

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

there we go, do something while lebron on the bench dammit

[NewJerSpur]

Cavs defended that alley-oop well.....Magic looking like Denver with their decision making.

[j.dizzle]

damn Hedo chill back a lil bit..howard aint 14 feet tall haha

[Armando]

what the hell are the magic doing?


Pulling a Denver

[NewJerSpur]

Go back inside to Howard, PLEASE!!!

[sonic21]

Orlando playing sloppy. They are acting almost like the game is already in the bag

[me15lo]

Pulling a Denver

:lol

[NewJerSpur]

Joe Smith>Anderson Verajao....I hate seeing him on the court.:lol

[Jacko]

ORL playing very sloppy. Looking like DEN.

[j.dizzle]

hahaha Dwight is being ghuarded by a 35 year old backup & they still dont go to him..what a stupid coach

[ffadicted]

magic going ice cold

[KidCongo]

Big Ben looks fresh.

[Armando]

Why do they keep jacking up 3s instead of throwing the ball inside?

[NewJerSpur]

3trus!!!

[pauls931]

Good lord come on Orlando. I don't want to see an inferior team advance.

[j.dizzle]

this is some sloppy basketball from both sides.

[NewJerSpur]

Why do they keep jacking up 3s instead of throwing the ball inside?

They've got 2 mismatches they aren't exploiting....:bang

[sonic21]

mo williams in choking mode, he can barely dribble the ball

[lefty]

Wow

Sternism in action

[Hank the Tank]

big ben learning the art of the flop from verajao.

[NewJerSpur]

Ben Wallace pulling an Anderson Flopajao.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Coach Brown needs to get a call from Bruce Bowen.. .STOP DEFENDING JUMPSHOOTERS BY Flying around ....keep your fucking feet on the ground

[Armando]

Nice flop by Wallace

[Libri]

3 fouls on Howard

[KidCongo]

That's it Bron take it to him.

[lefty]

:flipoff Stern

[j.dizzle]

lebron vujacic in the houseeeeeeeeeeeee

[ffadicted]

holy f*** dwight 3 games in a row

[lefty]

I hope David Sperm gets replaced soon

[NewJerSpur]

LeBron runs into Howard and gets the call.....terrible.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ben Wallace pulling an Anderson Flopajao.

Ben Wallace became a flopper as early as 2005, I remember when he would get knocked over by our skinny-ass star guards.

[Armando]

Stern has declared Howard must be called for touch fouls

[KidCongo]

Why was Peitrus left wide open?

[NewJerSpur]

Ben Wallace became a flopper as early as 2005, I remember when he would get knocked over by our skinny-ass star guards.

:lol

[lefty]

NBA fans, stop watching this game.

Go out, take a walk, watch a movie, pick up a girl.


This game has already been decided :td

[Armando]

Nice call ref thanks for watching our little game

[ffadicted]

Cleveland leads, goddamn

[TheProfessor]

NBA fans, stop watching this game.

Go out, take a walk, watch a movie, pick up a girl.


This game has already been decided :tu
Then why are you still watching?

[Armando]

Fuck it I am going to watch a movie

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

the refs are horrible on both sides

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

LETSSSS GOOOO!!!! live by the 3 you die by the 3

[lefty]

Then why are you still watching?

And how would you know what I'm doing?

I already switched, dumbass

[NewJerSpur]

Can't believe that 3rd foul on Howard.

[sonic21]

dwight is pulling a bynum

[Jacko]

ORL will be fine.

They need D12 on the floor. 2nd half should be much better for them. They just need to play it even right now.

[TheProfessor]

And how would you know what I'm doing?

I already switched, dumbass
Right. I'm sure you won't be posting the game is fixed again later on. Change the fucking record.

[sonic21]

For a second there I thought Mo Williams was dead

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

LeBron runs into Howard and gets the call.....terrible.

he didnt hit him with his hip? thats not a foul now orrrrrr wut?

[lefty]

Right. I'm sure you won't be posting the game is fixed again later on. Change the fucking record.
The game is fixed

[pauls931]

Can't believe that 3rd foul on Howard.

I'm outside grilling and can't watch. I saw the second one that looked like a brush. Man, he's a foul magnet tonight.

[j.dizzle]

Mo williams was bleeding pretty bad but they went to commercial

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Fuck it I am going to watch a movie

:lol....it must be hard to watch this kind of game, especially for Suns fans...



I'm glad I have a couple patriotic films to watch this memorial day weekend...and some barbecue soon...

3, clank, 3, clank, Dwight Howard Fouling out.. Lebron charity stripe... so fucking predictable...

[lefty]

Right. I'm sure you won't be posting the game is fixed again later on. Change the fucking record.
The game is really fixed

[lefty]

Right. I'm sure you won't be posting the game is fixed again later on. Change the fucking record.
Man, is that game fixed or what ?

What do you think ?

[sonic21]

magic only scored 5 points this quarter

[TheProfessor]

Here's my question: LeBron is driving, you're Howard and you've got two fouls - why are you hipchecking him in the lane instead of looking to avoid contact and go for the shot? He has to play more intelligently.

[tso & lo Cavfanatic]

he didnt hit him with his hip? thats not a foul now orrrrrr wut?
It was an obvious foul for someone who knows what the basketball is.:toast

[KidCongo]

Wow I don't think thats a flagrant 2.

Edit* But that was a pretty hard hit. Mo's eye.

[NewJerSpur]

he didnt hit him with his hip? thats not a foul now orrrrrr wut?

He didn't try to clip LeBron, he was standing still. LeBron ran into him.

[ffadicted]

Flagrant f***** 2? are you kidding me NBA?!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Here's my question: LeBron is driving, you're Howard and you've got two fouls - why are you hipchecking him in the lane instead of looking to avoid contact and go for the shot? He has to play more intelligently.

He's Amare Jr.

[sonic21]

flagrant 2? WTF? cavalier bleeds = flagrant 2? I hope mo is ok but that is not a flagrant 2

[lefty]

Here's my question: LeBron is driving, you're Howard and you've got two fouls - why are you hipchecking him in the lane instead of looking to avoid contact and go for the shot? He has to play more intelligently.
I think the game is fixed

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

shouldnt been a flagrant. but after this game IF the Cavs win people will blame it on the free throws, when Orlando just clearly just jacks up threes, cant get to the line that way sons

[tso & lo Cavfanatic]

WTF????It's flagrant 2.And they send Anthony Johnsson to the line! Yeah, it's for sure fixed:lol:lol

[TheProfessor]

I think the game is fixed
:lol I thought you changed the channel? It's ok, there are other sports to watch, since the NBA is fixed and all. No reason to stick around here.

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

He didn't try to clip LeBron, he was standing still. LeBron ran into him.

i knw he didnt try too, but he was in motion and wasnt set to take a charge, easy call

[KidCongo]

It's a nice shiner.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:wow Ouch..well at least now no one can accuse Mo Williams of acting

[sonic21]

I think the game is fixed

ok we get it

[NewJerSpur]

shouldnt been a flagrant. but after this game IF the Cavs win people will blame it on the free throws, when Orlando just clearly just jacks up threes, cant get to the line that way sons

Orlando takes good 3 point shots, they don't jack them up like Denver. Their better options though are the mismatches they aren't going to.

[lefty]

ok we get it
Do you think it's fixed ?

[j.dizzle]

hahahah no shit doug collins.

[Jacko]

Take D12 out early with phantom fouls, keep the Cavs in the game. Surprise surprise...

[KidCongo]

See Hedo is getting those little bump fouls as well.

[NewJerSpur]

i knw he didnt try too, but he was in motion and wasnt set to take a charge, easy call

It was incidental contact if anything, you let that go IMO.

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

Orlando takes good 3 point shots, they don't jack them up like Denver. Their better options though are the mismatches they aren't going to.

i agree, i would def just keep posting rashard....well more than turk cuz i would live with his fadeaways

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This game isn't FIXED... the officiating is just piss poor

calls made when they shouldn't have been made, and calls NOT MADE when they should be... it's making the game unwatchable

[lefty]

:lol I thought you changed the channel? It's ok, there are other sports to watch, since the NBA is fixed and all. No reason to stick around here.
:lol

I may switch back if the Magic have a big lead :D

[sonic21]

Do you think it's fixed ?

magic are choking

[NewJerSpur]

See Hedo is getting those little bump fouls as well.

So does Z.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Gortat = Big Z's son

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

wayyy too many whistles

[NewJerSpur]

magic are choking

Yes, yes they are.

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

wayyy too many whistles

theres another one, let em play refs, on boths sides geeez

[NewJerSpur]

wayyy too many whistles

I agree.

[j.dizzle]

im out fellas..this game is extremely boring & slow since the refs wont just let em play..peaceeee

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

Magic WILL get hot and all these shots there missing WILL go down

[sonic21]

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9144/86850021.gif

[KidCongo]

Fuck Z just coz you make a couple in the season you don't start jacking them in the playoffs.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

i don't know how NBA fans can get away with teh Spurs boring label..when we have our big three surrounded by a good supporting cast they're WAY MORE entertaining than this Orlando Magic Jumpshooting B.S.

[sonic21]

i know Lebron is a tank, but someone could take a charge when he gets a head of steam

[KidCongo]

This tempo is definately favouring Cleveland more than Orlando.

[TheProfessor]

i don't know how NBA fans can get away with teh Spurs boring label..when we have our big three surrounded by a good supporting cast they're WAY MORE entertaining than this Orlando Magic Jumpshooting B.S.
People don't like reality getting in the way of what they're told to believe.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

lol, the marginal fans who had some interest in this Lebron show, from his gamewinner, all TUNED OUT...

[NewJerSpur]

Keep Shooting Z!!!

[KidCongo]

Fuck the jumpers Z got dam. I know there was like 1 sec on the shot clock but they suck from that far.

[resistanze]

lmao z jacking 3s.

[NewJerSpur]

This tempo is definately favouring Cleveland more than Orlando.

The Cavs are better when they're running away with the game. This is the Magic's style of play in the playoffs. Shoot yourself out, shoot yourself in.

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

WTF is Z doing gotdayamn

[sonic21]

Do you think it's fixed ?

Orlando has more FTs in this game so far

[Allanon]

That's like the 10th time in the Playoffs that I've seen Z shoot a 3...and miss. Dunno why they keep going to that...maybe he makes all of them in practice or something.

[NewJerSpur]

In reality, this is a jumpshooting series. Guys on both sides will get to the rim just to kick it out for a 3.

[crc21209]

Rashard Lewis clearly traveled on that last fastbreak dunk.

[KidCongo]

That is Z's range.

[crc21209]

Turkoglu reverting back to his old-suckage self. :lol

[TheProfessor]

Now this is the Hedo I'm used to.

[KidCongo]

That's like the 10th time in the Playoffs that I've seen Z shoot a 3...and miss. Dunno why they keep going to that...maybe he makes all of them in practice or something.

Yeh he makes them at practice regularly, Brown finally started to let Z shoot them but he'd rather him round the basket getting tip ins.

[NewJerSpur]

Whistles tightening up....Hedo pushes off and gets the call, LOL.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

FT PARADE for both teams
:pctoss

CRawford needs to be FIRED

[crc21209]

Hedo....with another miss!

[TampaDude]

With Joey Crawford reffing, you know there will be some "interesting" calls. :lol

[KidCongo]

Boobie, that would been a dagger.

[NewJerSpur]

:tu Magic stop shooting jumpers, get to the rim!! Nice.

[TheProfessor]

Magic finally adjusting and getting to the hoop.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Boobie, that would been a dagger.

Where is this kid at ??? Was Cleveland really that bad that he had to start in the Finals two years ago??

[KidCongo]

3 pt special from the Cavs here I hope.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:tu Magic stop shooting jumpers, get to the rim!! Nice.

GORTAT >>>> D. Howard

[Lebron4MVP]

Fucking pathetic. We couldnt take advantage with Howard in foul trouble. Our bench fucking blows. This just isnt a championship team if we have to rely on our starters this much.

[Jacko]

ORL is fine.

All they had to do was play even while D12 sat with F/T.

[NewJerSpur]

Note to Hedo: you're being guarded by Delonte West, not Hakeem Olajuwon. A left handed finger role?

[pauls931]

This sucks with howard having so many fouls. He's not going to be able to be as aggresive on D making them more vulnerable to the drive. I hope he gets to play more than 5 minutes in the 3rd quarter.

[ffadicted]

Gortat make your free throws :depressed

[KidCongo]

Where is this kid at ??? Was Cleveland really that bad that he had to start in the Finals two years ago??

In the offseason he put on 10-15 pounds I think, muscle not fat. Then he apparently worked on his PG game and finishing around the hoop. He had a good floater at the start of the season but has been suffering from injuries all season and he can't shake them. His confidence is down and hardly plays anymore.

I hope he gets back his shooting stroke in the off-season.

[TampaDude]

Just turned the game on a few minutes ago. WTF was Howard doing on the fucking bench? How many fouls does he have???

[NewJerSpur]

GORTAT >>>> D. Howard

:lol

The real DPOY? Seriously though, Gortat has saved the Magic from a Denver like implosion. Nice blocks on LeBron. Props to the Cavs for mountaing a comeback.

[Lebron4MVP]

The Cavs bench SUCKS! :depressed

[tso & lo Cavfanatic]

Cavs are shooting 37,8% fg and 18.2 from the 3pt line and they are still only one point behind. That's a good sign.

[NewJerSpur]

Just turned the game on a few minutes ago. WTF was Howard doing on the fucking bench? How many fouls does he have???

3....the last one was questionable, but Gortat has filled in well.

Hopefully he gets the benefit of the doubt in the 2nd half.

[pauls931]

Just turned the game on a few minutes ago. WTF was Howard doing on the fucking bench? How many fouls does he have???

3 I believe, he picked up on foul and two touch fouls.

[TampaDude]

3 I believe, he picked up on foul and two touch fouls.

Joey C in full effect... :lol

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

3....the last one was questionable, but Gortat has filled in well.

Gortat filled in very well, I like that kid, nice size and upside.

[NewJerSpur]

Gortat filled in very well, I like that kid, nice size and upside.

His shot blocking is very impressive as well.

[TampaDude]

Gortat filled in very well, I like that kid, nice size and upside.

+1 Gortat has impressed me so far this series.

[tso & lo Cavfanatic]

Plus he is a free agent. He would better go in a team where he could play more time.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic just aren't exploiting the mismatches enough. Hedo does not like posting up on smaller players for some reason.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

In the offseason he put on 10-15 pounds I think, muscle not fat. Then he apparently worked on his PG game and finishing around the hoop. He had a good floater at the start of the season but has been suffering from injuries all season and he can't shake them. His confidence is down and hardly plays anymore.

I hope he gets back his shooting stroke in the off-season.

Ah Okay I was wondering why the coach hasn't been using him...normally he would have buried that three pointer. I know he's not afraid of the playoffs from that Detroit Series in 2007.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

+1 Gortat has impressed me so far this series.

How come WE CANT GET THESE KIND OF BIG MEN TO PUT BESIDE OR BACKUP TIMMY??

[NewJerSpur]

Magic better establish Howard early in the 3rd, get some easy buckets, and get the crowd back into it.

[Lebron4MVP]

Cavs are shooting 37,8% fg and 18.2 from the 3pt line and they are still only one point behind. That's a good sign.

And Dwight Howard has been in foul trouble and yet they lead by 1.

[Jacko]

Don't worry guys.

Once D12 gets back into the game the Magic will be able to get on a run. If the refs keep calling phantom fouls on him though then it's time to worry.

Magic better establish Howard early in the 3rd, get some easy buckets, and get the crowd back into it.

+1

Amen to that. If D12 comes out flat and gets another quick foul, i don't know how long the magic will last

It's about time the magic start looking like they want to win a championship imo

[Armando]

Watching Collins really reach to justify the bad calls on the Magic is comical

LeBron has hit one jumper with Hedo in his face but it's not droppign tonight. Drive Bron.

[Armando]

Joe C to the other refs - Look the Cavs are behind. Next play lets send Howard to the bench with a foul.

[NewJerSpur]

Howard is beasting on Z. Keep feeding him.

Collins has integrity....a man who sticks to his initial word.
