magic need to embarrass the cavs on national tv

but of course i think they'll be embarrassed

cavs came off of a bad loss against the bulls at home, i think they come out with fire

key to the game is:

Hoopshype says that Jameer is returning to the SL tonight. Also, Lebron has been experiencing back spasms, but he will still play

The Cavs are really not that good so we should win this. If we come out the same intensity as we did against New Orleans even despite the rebounding we will kill the cavs.

I think the Magic will struggle again.

Cleveland 106
Magic 99.

The recent lack of continuity is maybe becoming a factor. Plus, with nothing really to play for (barring a collapse) other teams are going to be hungrier for a while.

I hope I'm wrong.

Where is all this lack of continuity coming from? And cleveland is in the same boat as us of having nothing to play for. The likilehood of them dropping to the 5th seed is low.

Does anyone have a intrawebs location for an animated visual depiction of this game?

Mainly Nelson.

Orlando is upstairs...Cleveland is downstairs.

This time of year, that's usually motivation enough.

true. But you know how our team was always screaming about not getting respect from Media and them by passing us to include cleveland? this is a good place to earn some of that respect. I'd say SVG had them relatively motivated against the spurs and new orleans. They competed a lot better than i thought, if they weren't motivated i'd hate to see this team motivated.

^^^ There have been a couple of articles lately, specially today about the Magic players saying this game is a chance to get respect. Lets see if they really do mean it or if its just talk.

Oh boy, another nationally televised game.

Can't wait to here the ESPN crew talk about non-stop LeBron and not manage to compliment the Magic once.

3:00 start time. Nice.

Lebron with back spasms? Hmm he'd have a nice game. And ESPN will go on and on by saying how he's doing all of this with pain in his back. Just preparing you guys.

lol i can hear hubie now "well you gotta understand, Lebron plays with immense pain all the time and still.....still raises himself to another level that other players cannot do" rick barry chimes in "yea Lebron and the Cavs are just ready to explode into another level come playoff time and Lebron will be ready to lead them"

All the while we will be winning durin this time :wink:

Another statement game, and this time it's on ESPN so that makes it twice as important as the game in Orlando.

Unlike the Hornets game, we need a team effort on the boards. Cleveland is one of the better rebounding teams in the league.

I call a LeBron triple-double.

lol then they'll tack on some flu like symptoms and start claiming it's a mj like performance

This may be the most pumped up i've been before a game this entire season.

We need a big statement win today.
