I think it would look a little fishy if all a sudden the Magic Collaspsed and lost 3 in a row after being so dominant in the first four games. I mean come on, the Cavs reach the Finals after being down 3-1?

Oh please. Orlando lives and dies by the three. If they are hot, they win, if they are not, they lose. It's that simple.

I think that the way the series has gone, if Clevland win game 6 and 7 they fully deserve it without the right of feeling it has been staged.

Cavs were at home, yet Orlando shot 41 FT's compared to the Cavs 34, and the fouls were almost dead even, 27-25 w/Orlando having 2 more.

Still not feeling real good about the Cavaliers chances of coming back to win the series, but w/LBJ on our side, they've got a shot.

And I'd like to personally thank Mike Brown for finally making an adjustment this series and having Lebron guard Hedo in the 4th quarter, notice Hedo was much more tentative and not as effective offensively. It's totally baffled me this entire series that we have our best defender guard Orlando's worst offensive player on the floor when Hedo & Lewis have been killing them. Please Mike Brown, I plead w/you, keep Lebron on one of those two the rest of the series!!!

Anyone who watches the Cavs-Magic series and thinks a Cleveland comeback is a product of an NBA conspiracy...........knows little or nothing about basketball.

Hardly, Orlando shot 41 FT's last night to the Cavs 34, and the fouls were almost even: 27-25 w/Orlando having 2 more - and this was in Cleveland and w/Lebron attacking the entire 4th quarter, not to mention, Orlando was fouling purposely in the final 2 minutes to try and prolong the game.

If the Cavs reach the finals after being down 3-1, it will be b/c of one Lebron James refusing to let his team lose like he did last night, not sure he can do it 2 more times, but last night offered a glimmer of hope.

I think it will have more to do with Lebron getting some help, namely from Mo, Delonte, and Z. Those three combined for 53 points last night, far better than they played in the first 3 games. Mo was 6-9 from 3 point territory, and had 24 points. If those three continue to play well, the Cavs will win.

Looks like you were wrong, Cleveland won in a close one.

Orlando fans are getting their excuses ready just in case they lose to the Cavs.
