'09 Playoffs:Sinong Manok Mo?(not the kind you like tsiken)Vol:Is King James Ready To Take It All?

No sweep! Lets hope for a close series, Have to agree with Pareng bong Cavs need more pressured pack games.
 
It's never a one man show. Even MJ had Scottie, Kerr and Paxson to bail the Bulls out in pressure situations. That's why it's a team sport. Cavsstopped playing team basketball after the first half. They will have to make major adjustments from hereon. Magic confidence is now peaking and that's thehardest thing to deal with in any competition, a confident opponent. Hope the Cavs don't lose their confidence and focus with their 1st post season andheartbreak loss.

They are 4-0 on the road in the playoffs though so I still believe they can pull this one off
 
Sorry loss for the Cavs.

Rashard though was

talk about everybody griping that the lakers have a soft front, at least they have a frontcourt that can be formidable when needed,

cavs don't have the team to surround lebron and it showed
 
LBJ did the best he could but man... what about the coach of the year huh??? 1-4 offense with shooters in both corners wasn't hard to defend at all...

yeah Delonte got it at first try... but running the same play again???

they're only down by a point and no need to gamble for a three and a bucket could win it anyway..

rather let the MVP finished it strong to the basket than passing it to the corners which is a simple drive and kick out play. sad to say but that's verypredictable, matter of fact Magic read it like a book..smh
 
Anybody here know Mike Brown's email ad?? We should forward this thread's link to him. Guy still has a lot to learn about playoff basketball LOL

the initial play was for lebron to take his man off the dribble & take it to the hoop.he did have a clear out right? pietrus slipped,slided& eventually fell in front of lebron making him adjust and thus had to kick it out.add to that the fact that bron was pretty much gassed at that point& couldn't really explode in that play.
 
magic has gotten playoff basketball right only at game six in the last series by playing hedo up top, surrounded by

lee which gives slashing and decent defense plus can shoot,

pietrus which can defend also and as seen in ECF G1, can also shoot

rashard who was just lights out and mr clutch

superman

they showed passion and they showed heart winning from 16 down, even stan wasnt as panicky as in the previous 2 series

was just wondering why he didn't pull up for the open J when pietrus slipped. :-)

exactly, it was a clear lane and Howard was not even there at all.. the shooters didn't even took a fake like what Hedo did. one dribble or an extra passcould made the difference 15sec on the clock was an eternity..
 
to me that's the difference between kobe & lebron right now.

if kobe was in that situation,he would make sure he takes the last shot,any kind of shot,no matter what.he would put the refs in the position of needing toblow the whistle & get a reputation call.if kobe doesn't get the call he would make sure the refs,the league,david stern heard about it.

lebron on the other hand would readily and willingly pass in tough spots cause i believe he's wired to always make the right team play.that's just hismake up.
 
^^^IMO, Kobe has been through a lot of playoffs and finals, while LBJ is a newbie on this. And that makes the difference in their crunch time decision.
 
Denver tied the series to 1-1. 106-103.

Billups have been missing somecrucial free throws, just like in Game 1. Before the Western Conference Finals, he's shooting 90% plus on free throw.
