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….

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.

Shaq actually fits our offense well, much better then on the Suns. But, I never like the idea of picking up people at the bottom of their careers.

JJ Hickson would have looked real good on the floor when Anderson fouled out. Z is just too old and slow now.

kobe is a punk…but he’s a ridiculously talented punk…smug arrogance and all he has pure skill…the magic seem to be a team based on a pure gimmick. they can shoot 3s and have one big guy who can dunk…oh boy…they’re a good team but i dont want that game formula to win them a championship

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.

by Chief WaDrew on May 30, 2009 10:09 PM CDT up reply actions

I, frankly have no interest in watching it.

Though Derek Fisher on Rafer Alston will be an interesting matchup of who can take the stupidest shots over the course of seven games.

In case you were wondering, the Magic have taken 179 free throws for the series and Cleveland has taken 168.

I better not hear anybody talking about Stern wanting the Cavs in the finals anymore.

by Chemo on May 30, 2009 10:06 PM CDT reply actions

wasn't it the Cav's strategy to foul Dwight at the games before? Of course they'd get more freethrows

And I’m not into conspiracy theories.

sorry

a good buddy of mine that grew up in Shaker Heights was telling me the other day that he can’t even comprise a top ten sports moments list from the Cavs, Browns, and Indians – and he’s 35.

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.
