OPEN THREAD: EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS - Game 2

 

Now before we get into Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, certainly we should do last night's matchup a little credit with a few words. Namely:

HOW 'BOUT THEM NUGGETS?!

Denver's starting five with 'Melo takin it to the hole...

Well okay, it wasn't exactly a blowout - but one thing is for sure, Melo v Bryant is a fun thing to watch. I, for one, wouldn't mind watching this series go to game 7.

But let's not forget the action on the other side of the basketball universe. Tonight the Cavs and the Magic meet up again in Cleveland in the 2nd game of the Eastern Finals. And after last game, you better believe LeBron is pissed.

JUMP!!

Orlando Magic @ Cleveland Cavaliers

Tip-Off: 5:30 PDT

TV: TNT

Las Vegas Say: Cavs favored by 9

 

What can I say? I really believe that the Cavs are not going to let Orlando sneak another one away from them in Cleveland. If Game 1 taught us anything, however, it's that the Magic are not to be trifled with. Their ability to consistently hit the long bomb makes them a very tough team to stop offensively.

In the endCavs have the right components to dispatch with the Magic with the exception of one, thanks to Wednesday's game. That is, of course, confidence.

Tonight they take that back.

My pick: Cavs

Perhaps the long layoff for the Cavs affected their gameplay in game 1, which doesn’t make sense because they played so well in the 1st half. Whatever the reason, the Magic may have discovered a weakness in the Cavs. If they can stop everyone else and make Lebron wear himself out being the only scorer, the Magic could win the series.

Nevertheless, I pick the Cavs to make a comeback in the 2nd game.

George Karl should post that pic in their locker room

to remind his players to surround the basket to get the rebound, though one of those nuggets is in danger of getting a basket interference call.

thanks

though ffgolden beat me to it first. The sad part is that most people who have worked with Ridder praise him for being a hard working guy. Plus he married a Warriors Girl, so how cool is that?

But what he did is completely wrong. It’s like a company posting fake reviews for their products. I usually don’t follow management stories because I’m here for the basketball action, but this story pissed me off.

Nuggets should be up 2-0

I’m glad melo was honest and said they gave away game 1.

Oh my

there’s a chance the Magic will go up 2-0 over the Cavs

Even though I'm cheering for the Magic to win the title

I do tip my hat off to Lebron. Towards crunch time, he wasn’t getting away with anything. 2 offensive foul calls and a travelling violation, and he still came through. Kobe on the other hand, he would cheat with the game on the line and win it that way, and get away with it.
