OT: Lets Go Orlando

[Newskoolbulls]

Come on guys help cheer on the Orland Magic. Right now they have a four point lead.

Dwight picked up that 5th foul with 8 left... lets hope they can hold on with this nice lead. Hedo has been very impressive tonight- he's like a white Paul Pierce.

This lead is safe (I hope). Hedo is coming into a big payday. Right now its a 19 pt lead. I am happy Orlando is going as I see them as a better team to upset the Cavs over the Celtics. Orlando has many weapons that they can throw at the Cavs.

It should be a fun matchup with the cavs. I just don't see the Cavs losing, I don't see a game 7 either. You think Hedo is going to resign?

I really dont think they will have the resources to give him the money, Hedo is going to be looking for atleast 40 million. Also I do think that Orlando can make it to a game seven with the Cavs.

Man, what could have been had the Bulls been able to score a few more points in that Game 7 2nd quarter. I'm never quite sure whether to root against the guys that knocked my team out or hope they win it all so the loss was to the eventual champs.

Orlando certainly deserves the W for how they've played tonight, though.

Lead down to 12 with a little under five to go. OH NO.

Game 7? The way Lebron is playing at the moment, they'll be lucky to make it to a game 5.

Hahhahahah FU Rondo, Peirce, KG, Doc, Ray.

Cavs have no one to stop Dwight and Lewis and Hedo will give them trouble as the Cavs dont have anyone besides Lebron to defend them.

TAKE THAT CELTICS!! I think the next series goes Cavs in 6, but it might get interesting...

Cavs in six or seven.

I was rooting for the Celtics in the "if we played the Celtics tougher than Orlando did then it means something good about us" kind of way. Not that I was really moved to care strongly one way or the other though.

I was cheering for the Celtics for that very reason. If they beat us they better beat Orlando because I thought we could've beat Orlando, but now it looks like Orlando is the better team. Which they probably are but that is just my thinking. I want the team that we took to the wire to win it all so we could say that we played the best team really tough and almost won. Oh well either team would lose to Cleveland so I think it didn't really matter, it will be an interesting series with Howard down there. I think Howard is the only guy in the league who can really knock Lebron around. (Shaq still can but he isn't in the playoffs)

Cavs in 5 games.

I been saying all season that the Cavs will win the title.

I think the Lakers are gonna get spanked in the finals.

lebron has a tough time against dwight howard and shot blocking centers. i duno, andrew bynum isn't play defense.

So far this playoffs Lebron has a PER is 41.8. To put that in perspective, nobody else playing more than 300 playoff minutes has put up a PER higher than 33.6. Hence my (rather tongue in cheek) suggestion Orlando would be lucky to make it to game 5.

Of course Orlando should present more competition than he's had so far, so it'll be interesting how far that number comes down. He's making it harder and harder to argue he's not having the greatest individual season ever though.
