Game 3 Cavs at Magic - Sunday, May 24, 8:30ET on [TNT]

You all saying that Cavs shot poorly, which is true, but couldnt it be the Magics defense? Theres a reason the defensive player of the year plays for ORL.

So much for that he fouled out. Dwights gotta stop getting frustrated. thats the other teams M O throughtout the playoffs. Get under his skin and he'll flip. In this series MVP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DPOY. Thats just how the calls are gonna go. I hate it as much as anyone but the NBA will do all it can possible do to get Kobe and LeBron without making it seem too obvious.

Ya sure I mean the refs are so mean to LBJ right? Ridiculous...

No but to everyone else, then yes. Those touch fouls they call on Mo and West is what's ridiculous.

What's most curious to me is that Boston was able to effectively limit Rashard Lewis to some degree. Perhaps the fact that they were actually able to produce foul trouble on him with greater efficiency slowed him down because Scalabrine and Davis aren't better perimeter defenders than Varejao. Varejao is active and quick. Davis has no length and Scalabrine isn't athletic at all.

OT- In a hypothetical Gasol-Lewis match up it should be interesting who takes advantage best of the other's weaknesses. Gasol has guarded perimeter bigs with great success before and he does negate Lewis' post-up game almost entirely but Lewis is quick to say the least. Defensively Lewis stands little hope as Gasol can pass very effectively out of the double team by Howard to Bynum.

Tough to really call the next series if it really does happen. First we'll have to see whether Orlando can close on the deal in game 4.

Your calling the series? Uggh it looks like it's going 7 to me. BTW Pau wouldn't guard Lewis dude geez.

[Shishnizzle]

Yeh but according to you the Magic "maybe can win one game against Cleveland" so you really have no credibility. Almost everything you have said has been wrong. Your like 0 and 99.

[Gordon Bombay]

oh that was ugly

[Redphilly]

oh that was ugly

But very true

When you guys complain about the offiating, ponder this for a moment. The hand checking, body contact, etc. that you are questioning; if Lebron James was the offensive player, do you really believe that those same fouls wouldn't or don't get called? If Lebron is going around a trap and a Magic player bumps him (like the Cavs do to Hedo), that's not called? I mean, can you honestly say that Lebron doesn't get the benefit of the doubt? The Magic have more players that will draw those types of fouls than the Cavs.

Also, I'm not sure how you can cry foul when Lebron clearly charged Pietrus and clearly had his shot blocked cleanly by Howard.

If the refs want to call touch fouls on the perimeter then Im OK with that, but if they are going to do that, then they sure as hell better call fouls when LeBron gets body checked in midair by Howard every single time he drives. Thats what doesnt make sense to me.... How can you call things so extremely tight on the perimeter but then let certain people get away with murder under the basket?
