they don’t match up that well. what i’m seeing is that ORL is a pretty tough matchup for pretty much everybody. the magic are still getting wide open shots, they’re just missing the ones that feel when they played the cavs.

if courtney lee hits that lob last night, no one’s talking about outcoaching.

has never out coached anyone ever!

Starting with the fact the Cavs had not played in over a week before game one. Plus, a stop here, a basket there, a bounce here, etc. and the Magic could have lost the series just as easily. The Cavs may have been out-played and to a certain extent, out-coached, but it still could have gone either way.

no way you can put it on loose ball fouls, and it’s ridiculous to say that LeBron is a magnet of erroneous calls. that’s just silly. as for luck, i won’t call it that, but the magic were historically hot in this series. let’s not ignore that.

but, as we’ve said here ad nauseum, if 2 plays go differently in this series, out of the hundreds of plays that were contested (and let’s assume that every other play went exactly the same), the cavs win 4-1. if delonte west hits that 3 from the corner in game 1, and if he manages to corral that rebound w/ 6 seconds left in game 5, the magic are fishing.

and then are we talking about the cavs getting outcoached and outplayed? i actually tend to agree w/ the outcoached, but it wasn’t exactly a wide margin.

and here I thought Manu Ginobli sucked those all up

admittedly, i’ve watched very limited action in these finals, so take this w/ a grain of salt…but it appears to me that the lakers are sending a double-team pretty often, and that the shooters are now missing more often than they did against the cavs.

I think its fairly apparent that Gasol and Bynum are tougher for Howard to manhandle than Ben Wallace and Andy V were. Look, through 2 games he has just one dunk! Seems like he a had a dozen every game against us.

LA has better personel and the results show. I don’t think we are going to see any 40 point games from “bonecrusher” this series. He’s getting alot of boards but, he’s just a one trick pony so far.
