Randle P McMurphy Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Magic screwed themselves last night. Although there were still quite a few bullshit calls going to the Cavs. How in the hell do you fall behind by 20+ points in the first quarter?! To their credit though they fought back and made it close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randle P McMurphy Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Really wanted to see the Nuggets in the finals. One thing that pisses me off royally about the Magic. I'm really beginning to wonder if anyone on that team, coaching staff or players knows what the fuck an offensive rebound is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was about the best job I've seen out of them on the offensive glass. All I care is that Orlando won and hopefully they can pull it off over the Lakers. Barkley took the Magic in 7.

Inigo Montoya Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Orlando will be a tough matchup for the Lakers. Odom will be the key player and it comes down to him matching up against Lewis and Turkoglu. Howard versus Gasol should work in Orlando's favor.

It seemed the Cavs/Lakers series was almost foregone with the LeBron/Kobe starpower, but now it's a different matchup. I hope the Lakers don't win. I am tired of the whole LA thing, from TV overexposure, the anointing of Kobe Bryant as "The Next Big Thing", Phil Jackson rubbing his zen chin, the assumption that they will win no matter whom they play, all of it. I generally dislike the NBA, but go Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 The magic are 2-0 against LAL this year and might be getting Jameer Nelson back. It's looking pretty good for them i think. They need some 3's from J.J. though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sois Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Go Orlando! Dwight Howard has taken a lot of heat from Simmons for not having any low post moves. I hope he wins it and proves Simmons wrong. Either that, or him winning the title despite having no low post moves will be awesome. Plus Kobe is annoying. Another Plus: I'd like to hear a sequel to "How My Ass Taste, Kobe" by Shaq.

Inigo Montoya Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Bynum will be another key player for the Lakers. They'll need quality minutes from him matched up against Howard. Pietrus and Lee will play Kobe but he'll get his points no matter what. It'll come down to Orlando hitting threes and how well Howard can contain Gasol.

Dwight relies on dunking too much but in game 6 a lot (and in many other games the entire playoffs) he has shown a shit load of post moves. he can go left or right his biggest weakness is that instead of keeping the ball high he brings it down low too much. he is starting to get a good hook shot from either hand and he has been showing glimpses the last 2 series of using the glass better and better. plus he seems to have a much more consistent stroke from the FT line and is hitting a much better % of late too. if he continues the consistent form (which isnt bad form) he will start gaining confidence and his jumper will improve too. dwight at the beginning of the year is nothing like dwight right now.
