Finally!!!!
The Finalists
Orlando Magic
Truth be told, the Magic have exceeded all expectations. Regardless of what happens in the finals this has been a very….very successful season. They seamlessly weathered the loss of their all star point guard and rode superman all the way to the finals rolling over the favored Cleveland Cavaliers. It remains to be seen how the Lakers Big men handle the beast that is Dwight Howard. Plus having a reputation as being soft doesnt help against the most dominant center in the game today. My problem with the Magc is that they live and die by the 3. They have lived so far, no point changing what has worked for you so far.
Magic one win away from finals
It was raining 3’s in this game with Rafer Alston setting a career playoff record of 3’s mad with 6 on his way to a 26 point burst for him, another career playoff record. But Dwight was the star tonight finishing with a dominant 27pts 14rbds with 7 of 9 free throws made. He took [...]

Kobe takes a beating but pulls out the win in Denver!
The Lakers matched the intensity of the Nuggets in every quarter for the full 48 minutes with controlled and decisive plays that may not have been pretty but they counted.
Hard fouls and hustle plays were abundant in this game and with both teams finding it hard to get into any real rhythm offensively the game [...]

Melo Leads Nuggets past Lakers
Carmelo Anthony Has played like a Man amongst boys so far this series, and this time, the Nuggets made sure they finished off the game well down the stretch. A complete flipside from game 1, it was the nuggets hitting clutch free throws and making smart plays, while it was the Lakers missing free throws [...]
