Orlando actually won a game against the celtics w/o Dwight, you people who are saying Orlando is only winning by luck are just haters, I can say that Cleveland won by luck in game two, with that lucky three point shot Lebron made at the LAST second. Orlando is beating Cleveland right now, fair and square, get over it. The best team will win this series, it could be Cleveland and it could be Orlando.

BTW, idk why you say Disney is all orlando has to look forward too, Disney has nothing to do with the Magic, Disney world isn't even in Orlando city limits.

LOL "haters", grow up and stop being immature...

BTW, Disney is in the metro area of Orlando. Unless, wait, did it move to Miami?

This would make sense if it were true. But a lot of the shots that the Magic have made have been with a hand in their face. And it's not like the Cavs can't guard the Magic from beyond the arc, they did a good job of it in two of the three meetings during the regular season. Fact is that the Magic are hot right now.

Or just being hot at the right time. This is the same team that lost five combined playoff games to the 76ers and Celtics when they shouldn't have lost more than two.

The Celtics were not great this year, certainly not the same team they were last year. And they beat you three times without their heart and soul, Kevin Garnett.

The only reason game two was even that close is because the Magic shot out of their minds from beyond the arc, enabling them to comeback from 23 down.

The Magic may win this series, and it will be fair and square (for the most part), but they're lucky they're getting hot at the right time.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but Orlando is Disney and Disney is Orlando. The two are synonomous. Disney dominates the local economy in that metropolitan area, and I think that few would argue that had Walt chosen Miami or Tampa for the site of his new park in 1965, Orlando would be nothing like it is today. In fact, I feel confident in saying that the Magic would not even exist. It is what it is. Perhaps Orlando has diversified its economy in recent years, and I applaud it for doing so, but it would not be the city it is today without Disney.

Sorry I used the term "hater" I guess it's just a generation thing. It's just easier to say than, "someone who dislikes the magic winning therefore finds ways to put it down". Did not mean to sound immature. (that wasn't sarcasm, it was sincere)

Yes, I understand Orlando wouldn't be any bigger than a 20,000 resident town without disney world being built there in the 60s. I'm just saying that right now Orlando "the tourist attraction" and Orlando "the city", are two very different places. Disney has nothing to do with the Magic, Yes Orlando became a big enough city to have an NBA team because of its tourist industry but, Orlando is its own city now aside from disney and it definitely has more to look forward to in its future than Disney World.

(That whole Disney subject was off topic to this thread, so i apologize for bringing it up)

Go Magic! 3-1

Cavs Win!! The King & his Court send it back to Orlando... Our back's against the wall, but I think we believe we CAN win; ... and I think we will. GO CAVS!!!!

^^There's been a few good articles on that very same topic.

Here's a good one: Tara L. Conley: More Than a Game for Cleveland

[costello_musicman]

Not to mention, the TV ratings for both series are going through the roof. I bet both networks are praying for two 7-game series, even more so this year. Millions being made right on in so many places.

Cleveland metro alone has posted an ungodly 30.1 TV rating for the series. I read it somewhere this morning, and I can't seem to find my source now.

That's a nice sentiment, and thank you, but I take offense to you calling Cleveland a "dying city." Especially you being from California. We're talking about a state with problems far too numerous to list.
