May 4, 201016 yr Most disgraceful game I've ever seen. The Celtics are playing extremely well but LeBron is playing gutless basketball. If you're that hurt....go get surgery. I'm not worried as a Cavs fan, I just realize they don't have what it takes. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think I am. DWill is playing with countless injuries, Kobe has been banged up all year....Andrew Bynum has a torn knee ligament... I get that LeBron is hurt, but who isn't right now? It's just sickening to see this kind of garbage from a player of that caliber. It was just one game. I wouldn't write them off just yet...I'll be surprised if they don't win one in Boston. I expect this one to come down to a best of three. I think Orlando will dominate Atlanta. The Magic are the team I'd least want to play right now...I have to give them credit. I thought they made a mistake letting replacing Turkoglu with Carter, but they're looking really good when it matters most. I think the Lakers will beat Utah, but the Jazz are always tough at home. I wouldn't be surprised to see it go the distance. And, I think Phoenix and San Antonio will go seven.
May 4, 201016 yr Author Saying the Celtics struggled at home this year is being kind, I don't think either team wins both games in Boston. This will likely come down to the big swing Game 5 in Cleveland.

LeBron acting like he's injured when the going gets tough is what bothers me. You'd never see any other player of that caliber do that.
May 4, 201016 yr I don't doubt he's hurt, but he's using it as an excuse. When things are going good he can tough it out. It's just sickening. He's on the floor, so he's got to just play it out. It's disgusting watching this crap. :puke: I agree with you. I am not buying the injury is a bad as he is trying to make us all believe. Obviously we are not in his head nor truly feel the extent of the injury, but I think he is trying to alleviate all the pressure put on himself. They are the clear favorites and he is the best player. I am just not sure he has fully developed that killer mentality yet.
May 4, 201016 yr I kind of agree w/ you, but he was 7-15. That isn't bad for most humans. I think he's a little banged up and he hasn't played through a lot of injuries before. I think we'll see a different player in game 3. How terrible was the officiating though? It's hard to watch games where the officials are so one sided. Even they couldn't give the Cavs a game 2 win. If I'm the Celtics officiating is my biggest concern by far going forward. Officials were pretty awful no doubt, I agree 7-15 isn't all that bad but he just didn't seem into the game. Lots of careless turnovers and wasn't very aggressive until it was to late.
May 5, 201016 yr Author While we all could agree that Orlando would take care of the Hawks without much trouble, could anybody really have expected the Magic to be up FOURTY in the third quarter??????? :scared::scared:
May 5, 201016 yr While the Hawks are probably easily the worst team left in the playoffs (atleast IMO), this was an impressive beat down. Magic made a huge statement tonight.
May 5, 201016 yr I honestly cannot understand how anyone can look at Orlando and not concede they're the best team in the league. They have no weaknesses.
May 5, 201016 yr Author Just makes you wonder how much different the Finals would have been last year with a healthy Jameer, it's a rematch I would love to see this year.
May 5, 201016 yr I honestly cannot understand how anyone can look at Orlando and not concede they're the best team in the league. They have no weaknesses. They have to beat the Lakers first. They have yet to play a team that could find or exploit any of their weaknesses though I think you do have to admit that. Watching LA now, I don't know if anyone has an answer for their 3 guys inside.
