Here we go Game 1 Magic vs Cavs

[lefty]

i think orlandos game plan is just let lebron go off but hold everyone else. lebron's supporting cast played horrible. same for the cavs. seems like they let howard get his own and they try to hold everyone else. only thing is lewis is too quick for varajao

+1

And we saw how bad they sucked when LBJ was on the bench

You got it reversed man. The Lakers personify the Soviet Union and Ivan Drago (Pop himself made the comparison). Cavs are Rocky Balboa.

LOL I thought of the Lakers as more of a Bull Hurley.

Can someone tell me has Kobe ever had 49, 7, 8 in any playoff game from 2005-2007 when he had about the same help Lebron James had.

You can even include 2008 as well if you want.

[NewJerSpur]

1. Cavs' role players (Williams, West, Z/bench) play terrible and miss shots they normally make.
2. Cavs play no defense sans the first quarter.
3. Cavs get outrebounded.
4. Magic go 9-20 from threes.

And Orlando only wins by 1....Cavs should be fine. I will start to take Orlando seriously if they win Game 2.

I especially like the rebounding part, but take them seriously now, they took homecourt from one of the GREATEST HCA's EVER going in to the playoffs.

They should offcially change it to the Cleveland lebrons cuz i think Mike Brown just tells his players to let lebron do eveything & u guys just stand around & watch. Pretty sad cuz you can just tell lebron was dying in the inside..he looks more tired then ive ever seen him

No, he usually quits before it gets to that point.

& Props to Orl..That in team has been gutting it out in there last few games..I respect that & D-12, Rashard, & Turk are much better then a team that just has 1 good scorer & a bunch of scrub role players

[BandWagon Cavs Fan]

RUN AWAY PUSSY. Talk all that trash and run away at end.

uhhhh i would talk about ur team but that aint wut this threads about, the games over and i said props u ass clown. dont have time to make excuses or n e thing

Lebron scores 50 on near perfect shooting from outside and they still lose?

I think the Cavs have more to worry about than the Magic.

Especially considering the Cavs haven't come close to winning in ORL.

good call on that one..both were double digit losses.

[Jacko]

The Magic got great production from all their players.

The Cavs got great production from one player.

And somehow the Magic are in trouble?

[peskypesky]

Lol @ SVG saying basically, "I don't know what to do about LeBron."

SVG knows that he doesn't necessarily have to have a plan for dealing with Lebron. Why? Because one man cannot often beat a team. No matter how great he is. That's why a player is freakishly dominant as Wilt Chamberlain only managed to win 2 rings.

yeah, Lebron was shooting the lights out from the perimeter...all to no avail. i doubt he'll shoot that well in the next game, so won't Cleveland be even worse off?

[iggypop123]

the bigger problem is mo williams. he choked big time

[E20]

No the problem is that the rest of the Cavs team didn't show up. Resulting in Lebron taking in the load like he did the previous two years.

I mean if your next best player in the game was Anderson Varejao then you're ed.

Mo, West, and Z (to an extent) need to nut up and show up.

My head is still dizzy.. didnt think we'd win!!

My head is still dizzy.. didnt think we'd win!!

Great gutsy win by the Magic today!

Nothing personal but I hope the Magic lose the series.

[Jacob1983]

Props to the Magic but it's only one game. If the Cavs lose game 2, then they're in trouble. I do think that Lebron missing those 4 free throws cost the Cavs the game. You gotta make your free throws if you're considered a great player and the MVP of the league.

Congrats Magic fan.

[NewJerSpur]

This series isn't over by any stretch, but people need to stop looking at this win as a small thing in that is incomplete without a Game 2 win....they beat a team with one of the strongest HCA's in the HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE IN GAME 1.

Yea i thought that would be the problem and downfall for Dwight in the playoffs but he only shot 2 this game and made both......however hopefully someone other than lebron show up...Great game Magic, nice heart and they were the better team tonight......PEACE

[tomtom]

about time d ho showed up

Thats true Son, this isnt a small win however if Magic win game 2 then im really worried. This is what Cavs needed though to realize that their not invisible....

[NewJerSpur]

Howard did his usual deed. He saved the Magic from the brink in Game 6 of the last series....hopefully he won't be calling out his coach anytime soon.

Agreed.
