Wow, what thievery! It is getting to be clear that the NBA wants to make more money on this series, though Orlando is clearly the better team.

What BS first they give Lebron the call and let side show bob run howard off the alley oop

Dwight tried pulling him down I believe to sell it. That was a foul if I have ever seen one. If they are going to bail out lecrab then they have to be consistant

Howard was all tangled up in Bob there too.  I think that was an ok no call.


Back to wanting Joe fired.

Looking again with tivo, seriously dudes, the whole play was a no-holds barred cluster f**k with fouls all over the place, ot was the only decent way to go.

Pretty impressive stuff by Howard in the OT so far.
Yup

if the fix is in, the baseline ref didn't get the memo, buh-bye sideshow  8)

Not a call you make to decide it, not when howard has sideshow bob's arm pinned under his and is yanking down.

heck of a game though. I really can't stand both these teams. It is sorta nice to just be able to watch a good basketball game without taking years off my life with every  possession though :D

Still give my right eye to be playing CLEV right now though, they look soft. we could have taken this team.

Thats fine but dont put lebron at the line for tripping over his own feet. THis has been officiated one way tonight, how conveinient that this series could be prolonged. Orlando's at home and they cant even get the benefit of the doubt. This league is as corrupt as a Micheal Jackson day care.

That would erode the NBA's integrity, if it had any, and if Stern weren't commissar.

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, LeBron, it's all the same to him.

Oh and the last play... you've got to be kidding me.

The NBA... where joke leagues happen.

for all the talk of danny ferry being an awesome gm and building around lebron, a whole bunch of cavs players on the floor want absolutly nothing to do with the ball.

james has tried to get mo involved about 3 times now, and mo gives it right back like its a hot patato hehe.

why in the heck do you guys want orlando to win.  I don't understand that AT ALL.  Do you like their garbage style of jacking up threes and using some juicing freak to dunk a bunch?  I don't understand you people.

not really, they dont have a chance in hell without him. wallace can't defend the pick and roll to save his life at this stage in his career, and the magic will ruin the cavs off it.

I don't care one way or the other, as long as the winner beats the lakers if denver lets me down.

i really can't see Orlando giving the Lakers any trouble at all.  And if they do... I can't think of a more obnoxious champion than Dwight Howard.
