2009 Eastern Conference Finals Game #6 -- 2nd half Thread

No shame losing this time of year…and with James, the Cavaliers will always be sniffing a title…….There will be plenty of time to talk about that, however….

Two options: try to get everyone involved in a great team fourth quarter.

or

Live and die by the LBJ show.

I think option number two will be our choice.

I think it’s a matchup problem that has no remedy in a seven game series. Cleveland matches up against almost every other team in the East save the one team they need to beat to get to the finals.

Regardless of how poorly Cleveland has played

I remain suspicious of the potential Finals outcome.

Orlando and LA are the two cities with gigantic Disney resorts.

ABC is owned by Disney.

ABC has rights to the NBA Finals.

LA is the 2nd largest TV market in the country.

Based on that you’ll get high ratings and a ton of tourists headed for Disney. More than usual.

Not as an excuse for Cleveland’s performance, but I think that’s what the NBA (and Disney) desires more than LeBron vs. Kobe.

Sure they’ve can. They beat them twice. They lost two other games by fluke last-second three-pointers. They lost a game 3 where the officials completely took over the game and made it pointless.

I think if they restarted the series tomorrow, the Cavs would be better than even money to win it.

I thought they fouled Dwight very hard earlier in the series

And it helped frustrate him some. But, at the same time, Cleveland doesn’t have an answer for him. Nobody to check him or anything. No shadow or anything.

It would be similar to a D’Antoni team winning it all. When it’s all said and done I don’t think there are enough facets in their game to pull out a victory in the finals over a team which is more talented. The Lakers match up better with the Magic than the Cavs to boot.

even though i’m a Knicks fan, i’m one of the few that actually believes LeBron won’t leave Cleveland until he wins a championship there. even if that happens, maybe it’s a pipe dream that he comes to resurrect my pathetic team anyway.

just wanted to say good season and sorry it didn’t happen for you.
