ONE GOAL! 2009 Eastern Conference Finals Game #6 - Cleveland Cavaliers at Orlando Magic

Cleveland Cavaliers at Orlando Magic, May 30, 2009 7:30 PM CDT


Daniel Gibson needs his shooting touch tonight in Orlando

Magic Coverage -- Third Quarter Collapse
Probable starters:
Rafer Alston PG Mo Williams
Courtney Lee SG Delonte West
Hedo Turkoglu SF LeBron James
Rashard Lewis PF Anderson Varejao
Dwight Howard C Zydrunas Ilgauskas


It's do-or-die time for the Cavaliers...again.  I win tonight would mean the greatest moment in sports - a Game 7.  The Cavaliers busted their butts for 81 games this season to get that game in Cleveland.  To take advantage, however, they have to win a huge road game tonight in a place that hasn't been too kind to them recently.

The Cavs have been a one-game-at-a-time team all season, never looking too far ahead, never looking to far behind.  That mentality should help them as they try and climb their biggest hill of the season.  The Wine and Gold have answered every challenge put in front of them.  Win or Lose, I have a feeling the Cavs are going to make it very, very difficult for the Magic to get that 4th win.

Windhorst's thoughts on tonight's officials

Officials: Steve Javie, Bennett Salvatore, Derrick Stafford

Javie is one of the top 5 officials in the league and is known for taking absolutely no complaints and will make any call at any time. Since he’s the lead official, this could be good for the Cavs because the Magic are going to try to work the officials and keep Howard out of foul trouble. To me, it seems that Salvatore at times can be emotional and sometimes makes calls out of emotion so we’ll see about that one. Stafford is solid but you don’t see him doing many games this late in the season.

I pray the Magic listen to Barkley

and go zone against the 1-4 set. If they do, Boobie and Wally will LIGHT THEM UP.

I also hope Mike Brown isn't in love with his new offense

he should stick to the transition and 1st half offense he ran in Game 5, only going to the 1-4 if the Cavs get down double digits or late in the 4th.

But I’m going have to say, this is purely hypothetical, if Orlando were to (lets pretend) end up in the Finals, I would BADLY want them to beat the Lakers!

Unfortunately, their offense doesn’t match up with L.A. (hypothetical) nearly as lop sided as it does for us.
