So sick of the talk from the Media about how the Magic are up on the Cavs 3-1. Orlando is a good team, yeah the Cavs defense hasnt been the greatest and the rest of the team didnt do much in games 1-3, however, the Cavs did not crack under heavy pressure all year. I have faith in them, and they will pull it together and take the series.

History is not on the Cavs side unfortunately. In the NBA's 62 year postseason history 190 teams have taken a 3-1 lead in a series and 182 of them have went on to finish the series.
The Magic are clearly more dominant with height, depth, and speed. The Cavs are gonna have to pull out all the stops on this one and its gonna take more than LBJ scoring 40 some odd points.

It has nothing to do with height, and speed. The Magic count on their 3 ball to win games. Look at their shooting % of lost games in the playoffs, its terrible, and thats why they lose. If they dont hit the 3 ball, they arent a very good team. They can only post up one player and thats Howard, which is a good athlete, I will give it to him, however, I am sick of hearing how dominant he is all around. Are you kidding me? The guy never even takes a jump shot because he knows he cant make one. He is a great player hands down, however he is only dominant in the low post, thats it.
You might as well mark the number up to 183 for a 3-1 come back, because after Cleveland wins tonight, the pressure is on Orlando for game 6, not on Cleveland.

Yeah we dropped game 6, damn coaching was terrible.
Atleast the NBA admitted early this morning that the calls were not fair for both teams and that next years referee's will be under strict watch. They are talking about suspending ref's next year for game(s) for terrible calls, etc if need be.
Cant blame it on the ref's that game, but the oficiating was terrible.

Bottom line, they were outplayed by the more athletic team. They didn't have an answer for Lewis and Alston. If you tried to match up with those guys and defend the perimeter, they'd find a way to get it to Howard down low. Double team Howard? Dump it back outside to Hedo or Lewis. That was the difference in this series, defensive matchups and the 3ball.
Lebron did more than his part in this series with averages of 38.5 ppg, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists or somewhere close to that. The man needs help and his teammates need to realize the sense of urgency in clutch situations where its do or die. If he didn't hit the game winner shot in game 2 this series would have been over already. The Cavs are a big man away from having their team. They're close right now, but obviously not close enough.
