[joshman]

i was watchin the end and they were talkin bout the magics changes of winning the series and skip said 40%, justin tuck said 60%(god bless him), and the hoe aka jamelle hill person said 20%. lmao she must really hate our organization. i mean come on. we are the 3rd seed, have home court, have great confidence after game 4 and she says we only have a 20% chance of winning. lmao she is smart

i cant stand her voice, face or anything about her..

Jemele Hill is a dimwit and a terrible writer. The fact she is employed further proves there is little justice in the world.

[G-Heel]

20% of winning this series? Is she smoking weed? She must did a lot of *blow*out to still have a job.

[N4U|Redux]

Why do we have "great confidence" exactly? We blew a 10 point lead in a few minutes and narrowly escaped with a W. I'm still frustrated by this team's performance, if they gained "confidence" from last nights victory they're an odd bunch.

[UCFJayBird]

My main concern is that we really don't seem to have that...extra hustle, or urgency. I'm watching all the others games, especially Portland/Houston and Boston/Chicago, and their guys are busting their butts down the floor, diving for loose balls, hustling on every play. Philly's players do that, ours don't. I think our guys gotta come with more effort, last night that effort was there, but we just couldn't run a good play at the end of the game (looking at you SVG, run a play for Dwight).

Other than that though, I think everyone just severely underestimated this Philly team and we didn't realize how much their athleticism and speed was going to effect our offense.

And Jemele Hill is a dumbass, what do you expect. It boggles my mind sometimes how some of these people get jobs at ESPN (not saying I should, i definitely shouldn't, but there's gotta be more qualified sports writers in this country).

what happened to woody paige?

[Pancho_Pantera]

Um, they are right. Why should they feel confident about us winning when we keep blowing away big leads and suck at closing out games.

what happened to woody paige?

He is only on Around the Horn now. I remember when he was on First and 10 and would argue with Skip Bayless. That was quality television lol.

Were you not watching games 1, 2, 3 , and 4 of this series??? Why would they show any confidence in this team.. We havent put together a complete game yet this series...
And who the hell cares who has confidence in our team or not.. Or thinks what, and yada yada... Game 1 is exactly why we still get no respect around the league, or hype, or whatever some of guys want...

Yeah, but even ignoring game five - 20%?

20% is a ridiculous estimate in a tied series.

[Idunkonyou2]

This just goes to show how stupid analysts are or should I say how homerish they are. Now I wonder what their percentage is for the Magic to win the series? I guess they don't understand that the only Magic home loss in this series was a complete fluke. This series should be over if not for the never will happen again quarter the 76ers had.

what happened to woody paige?

He went back to the Denver Post and is no longer in New York.
