I know LBJ gets a ton of protection from the officials, but 37/14/12 in an elimination game, now at 36/9/7 for the playoffs...damn. I can't help it, this guy just amazes me.

As good as Bron's been so far I think Magic will win game 6 and make the finals. Just too much depth and firepower to lose at home. Rashard Lewis was terrible tonight and both Dwight and Turk will be much more dangerous at home.

They're playing great, no question. To take a punch like they did early and make a game of it -- much respect. If we had half their grit, we'd already be planning the parade.

Plus, we'll have homecourt.

I'll settle for lack of talent over home court any time and the Magic really know how to win on the road. Guys like Delonte West & the Cavs' offensive short comings will be severely exposed against us.

I called Cavs in 7 the moment they went down 3-1, no way LeBron is being denied. If Cavs wins game 6, there is no way they will not win the series.

I agree. I can't help but see a Game 7 in Cleveland this season. I know it won't happen against us, because I have no problem believing that we can take them in a seven game series. Lamar's getting healthier by the day, and Kobe's getting hungrier. I can only hope that Leonidas surges through the hearts of every Laker tonight so we can make this a reality.

he's been huge in the playoffs nonetheless

Perhaps the best player in the playoffs this year

I know he's been playing both ends of the floor

But I agree w/ Charles Barkley; Lebron might want to guard Hedo/Lewis instead of Alston.


I saw the highlights of Lebron's 4th quarter takeover... why wasn't he doubled?

Bad defense?


Good thing I'm a Lakers fan first.

Lebronze, (yes third place again without Kobe 8-) )needs to learn not to make the mistakes that the Lkaers made 2 years ago. I blame his coach for not forcing the issue that basketball is a team game. the Cavs certantly have the peices to win a championship they are just relying way too much on Lebron.

The King is getting a royal beat down in Orlando. If we can win our home games the 3 game home stretch would be a difficult one to win out for Orlando.

Cleveland aren't even running an offensive scheme for most of the game. That Coach of the Year is looking absurd now.

Dear Lebron,

Damn you. You were suppose to be in the Finals.

But my plan B is that you get to NEW YORK.

Furthermore...

D-Wade and D'White are out of my doghouse now.

It's about time.


I think they're on my top 5 list now as well.
