Take the shades off & look at the realism of the situation .

The Orlando Magic are a better team than the Cleveland Cavaliers . If the Cavs can lose 1 & barely pull off a win when everything is going their way , there's a huge possibility that they won't execute when they're Away .

& its not what they did in the Game 1 thread ... its about what they do to everyone else in THEIR game threads .

my fellow magic fan let us not make predictions of these games...let us only sit back and embrace the greatness that this series has shown us...

dude is 24

i grew up on mj and kobe has always been one of my favorite players, while lebron has never been my favorite player but i cant help but be a witness because what he does just doesnt make sense, like this past game when he basically dunked from the freethrow line which had me jump out my seat.

wait till more players take pay cuts to play with him and he starts to rack up some jewlery because he sure as hell doesnt have a pippen or a shaq.


did i mention dude was 24????


I got a serious question. First, I am from Akron.. so you know where I stand already with LeBron. Is it the pride issue for you guys, not wanting admit that he's headed down the road of being the best, and or one of the best to ever play the game. What's against this man besides the lack of a chip? He has lived up to the hype, and gone past that.. we all knew he was going to be a very solid player, but his dominance is unquestionable. I understand the issue of people slurping constantly, but I just think they all want to bask in this moment. Some of you really need to come believers on the real. 2000 500 & 500 4 years? I think Jordan did it twice? Can we at least say, (since people think he doesn't have help) he's the best player ever to do something by himself of all time?

I just want you guys to reply with a serious answer if you can.. because really, all the stats, and moments like last night, should even add up in a blind mans eyes. But people still $^&* on my homey, call him trash, say he's not worthy, not clutch, no heart, no jumper, egotistical... come on now. I know it's hard cause you all grew up with Jordan, and Kobe's careers, so it's hard to just give this fairly new guy the crown, but some of you *^%$$@ 's need to touch base with reality and the sense of now. Duke is getting better and better every year, and you are just sounding like a walking pillar of salt. Please, assist me, word to LeGawd James.

I'm from Akron too. Let's make this simple, it's responses like these that make people hate him/Cavs fans. Because everyonehere(Akron) and everyone in the media micromanages every small feat he accomplishes to make it much bigger than it is. If I were to never have watched a gamein my life and/or heard of him til I moved to NEO, I'd swear he had already won 3 or 4 rings, DPOY, multiple MVP's, etc. Bottomline is people need tostop trying to boost him to a status he's going to achieve on his own anyways. That may be the most irritating thing ever. He made a game winner last nightso now all the sudden he's more clutch than a player who has been doing it for much longer? No. He has a triple double with 40 points and he's moreskilled than Jordan?

Stupid stuff like that...on and on and onand on....then when someone points out the OBVIOUS flaws in his game...they are a hater. Uh.....no. I can't recall how many times I've heard Laker fansconstantly ridicule Kobe when he does stupid stuff during a game. But when Bron does (like dribble the clock out at the top of the key until he takes acontested 3 knowing he's not a good shooter) it's everyone else's fault but his. I haven't been to LA in a while but here inAkron/Cleveland...the most ridiculous D-riders since MJ. No one questions his dominance nor his impending takeover of the league, but when you crown him...hedang sure better have done something to warrant that crown.....especially when you compare him to those who have multiple rings and accolades.

 

[bwoodfolkgd74]

it doesnt matter if the cavs barely won one at home.

series is tied....both games were close.

Take the shades off & look at the realism of the situation .

The Orlando Magic are a better team than the Cleveland Cavaliers . If the Cavs can lose 1 & barely pull off a win when everything is going their way , there's a huge possibility that they won't execute when they're Away .

& its not what they did in the Game 1 thread ... its about what they do to everyone else in THEIR game threads .

The realism of the situation is the Magic get down early every game...(but I guess that's the refs fault too)

If that continues the happens they there is a HUGE possibility they won't win the series




and what they do in THEIR thread is "if _____ win 30 pages if_____ lose 90+ pages"

 

[abernja]

^ That's the realest talk I've ever read.


I love LeBron, but he's not at MJ status yet. I still believe Kobe is the best in the league.


I am a life long Magic fan, and I believe the Magic will beat the Cavs.

 

[TheGift23]

Wow just saw the shot he hit. Great job LBJ.

 

[mytoasterspeak]

A lot of nonsense being said in this thread. Give the Cavs credit, give the Magic credit. Mike Brown keeps making coaching mistakes. LeBron saved his $!+ lastnight. When we went small we went up 24, then he kept puttiing Varejao back in the game, and they chipped away at the lead. We have to go small 2/3 of the gameagainst them cause it's a bad match-up not to. Also, Lakers fans and LeBron haters, god bless yall who are spewing ignorance and haterism, and props tothose who are giving credit for a good game and appreciating greatness. Last second shot or 30 points, a win is a win. Series tied up, best of 5, letsGOOOOOOO!

lebron is NOWHERE near MJ status. he's not even seeing the light or close to his planet. nobody is right now. the media tends to really dothat though

but lebron IS the best player in the L today though.

for the magic to beat the cavs, they have to stop avoiding to early deficits. if they do, they have a great chance. but the cavs have to eventually learn howto hold on to those leads v. orlando right?

 

[neptunebeats187]

no, where are you?

because on Earth, Lebron is not clutch. That's one of the main knocks on him, is that he doesn't have that "killer instinct" like Kobe.

do you even watch basketball?

Neptune....Turk is more clutch than Bron. He's BEEN doing stuff like that. If I were a Cavs fan I can't say I'd be too confident heading into ORL....especially given how they played at home. I'm glad Bron hit that shot though...Akron would have went up in flames if he hadn't. And all the bars were nuts afterwards. Great basketball being played on both sides



Don't get me wrong.. I guess my first comment did kinda downplay turk.. I know he's a good role player, a good key player. But, Isuppose for me, clutch means so much more than hitting the big shot at the end of the game.

I HIGHLY doubt that the Cavs would have gotten swept

Orlando is really dominate at home. But i really see Orlando in 6

Ok, I feel you.. really. But, I guess I am looking at the bigger picture.. Like, a large domino effect in his favor. Getting better in every aspect of hisgame every year. As you stated, "he's a bad" shooter ... yes I can look at games where he's had a terrible night shooting wise (Maybe yearsago), but he'll work all summer to get better and better, and start doing things the next season such as.. going 7/8 from downtown, or like in game 1 theother night, hit like 6 or 7 jumpers in a row. Seeing those shots would instantly make me argue that statement. I also agree on the dribbling at the top ofthe key bull... running down the damn clock, and just dishing it off to someone in hopes for shot clock beater. That offense is so frustraiting, seeing otherjust stand around and not move while he proceeds to just pull up a rhythm J. But hey, often times more than not.. it goes in.

I am in no way saying he's better than Jordan, or that he's more clutch than he is. Even tho, Bron has surpassed him in various ways, and/or tends tofall in the same category when filling up the stat sheet. All I am basically saying is, what will be said when he wins a championship and has a ring? Yougoing to say, "get more rings, and then we'll talk" or something? Probably. JsindaA you are from Akron, so I mean, you alreadyknow how big this is for us, and props to you for still being a Lakers fan and such. But I am not coming outright and saying Lebron the best of the best, butmore so he's definitely headed down that road. Kobe scored 81, and that was instantly a moment when a lot of others were calling him the best of all time. Even tho it was actually harder to achieve than Wilt's 100.. do to size, and the actual skill of the league nowadays, even tho he was playing the raptors.

I wish I could be on the outside looking in, as to say, if I wasn't from Akron and from NY like my other fam. I'd probably want him to come to NY, andI probably would think Wade or Melo was best in the league, who knows. I honestly think I'd believe that he's the best in the league right now. But Ican't, so that's why I wanted to ask that serious question to get a solid answer from you folks.. thanks.

 

[hueyp in louiev]

Y'all must have been too young to remember the MJ lovefest before he ever won a chip.

"His Airness", "God in Basketball shoes", etc. etc. etc. ..... it was so bad that his peers froze him out of the All-Star game his rookieseason.

You have to expect people to rightfully revel in the moment. Y'all are just haters.

Bron numbers are in the Jordan and Oscar Robertson circle already and past them in certain aspects....He has already been to the Finals with one of the weakestteams I have ever seen reach that far, and the Cavs had one of the best home records in NBA history this year, with only a slightly better team.....you thinkpeople aren't going to give him praise?

Seriously, that above is one of THE worst comments I've seen in the sports forum.

 

[eneyekayee]

^ If the dude was serious, he should off himself...he probably has no life & was just trying to rile up CAVS/LBJ fans...& it backfired for the mostpart.

 

[neptunebeats187]

Hands down, that just defines hater

I seriously hope he was joking.

 

[milbert]

Who else is going to game 3? Will be sitting behind the cavs bench and we will definitely take pics.

Talbert

 

[eneyekayee]

^ Post 'em in the G3 thread...

...good lookin' out.

 

[Betonblck]

Alot of ya'll are just haters.

35 points per game, 9 rebounds per game, 7 assists, and shooting 55% from the floor. When was the last time somebody put up numbers like that.

And making the game winning 3 point shot from nearly 5 feet beyond the 3 point line. But I thought "he couldn't shoot"? LeBron not even supposedto be a 3point shooter, are you kidding me?

Just alot of salt in here. That was a Reggie Miller moment by a guy who most people said can't even shoot.

 

[eagle 0n]

Besides Lebron.

Mick Boogie's musical selection is the best thing about watching a Cavs game.
