Is Orlando A Lock Tonight?

[Sekrah]

Cleveland.

Easy decision to play them here.

[iMxth3xbossx5000]

Gotta go with Cleveland

[tbond10]

I'm on Magic -1 2units

[redbull]

Superman will whack Superboy , Cav rules the key area. I play Cav -1 and Most 3 pts Orlando - 0.5

[SpartyPt11]

Im a huge Cavs fan.. Im from Ohio... I was at the Cavs vs. Bulls game this year... THE CAVS ARE NOT THE SAME TEAM AS LAST YEAR... THEY ARE TERRIBLE (compared to last year).. Everyone remember the game last year when orlando won by 30... they win by 20+ this time also... most of you are look at Lebron James.. he cant do it all. This is the easiest NBA game of the year.. easier then the Cavs at home vs Boston.... I will bet all my SBR points!! I want Orlando.. if you want it set up the challenge!

[og4667]

orlando is missing key players tonight. No rashard lewis and no ryan anderson and carter is playing back2backs on his bum ankle. Maybe if magic were at full strength but cavs win tonight.

[Scorpion]

love orlando tonight

they have won something like 10 of the last 12 vs clev
3 unit play for me

[williams22]

4 of Orlando's top 6 players against Cleveland in the playoff will not be playing tonight (Hedo, Rashard, Rafer Alston, and Courtney Lee). These 4 guys combined for over 55 PPG, 16 RPG, and 13 APG.

[pavyracer]

This is the mother of all locks.

[og4667]

williams is right! magic could be very depleted tonight. on top of being a differnt team from last year, they are missing a ryan anderson and carter could be a bit slow tonight.

[williams22]

This is the mother of all locks.

I love super-informative posts like this one. At least give some reasoning.

[Razz_Donkey]

Playing the Cavs myself. See my blog if you care to.

[pavyracer]

If you noticed how Magic play at home and how Cavs play on the road you should know the answer williams.

Oversimplifying a little bit don't you think? How about analyzing the matchups?

[pavyracer]

What matchups? Cleveland has Lebron and Magic has Howard. If you think Howard will let his team lose at home to a team they own you are mistaken. Cleveland starting five, except Lebron, shouldn't be starters for any other NBA team. You basically have 4 bench warmers surrounding Lebron.

pacers game (-5), over in that game...over in suns game....suns-6 and clippers -2 and over in that game!

Thanks for you opinion, void of relevant information.

Cavs big play for me.

[SmackdownV]

You guys need to look at your history.

Orlando got WAY BETTER
Cavs got WAY WORSE.

Orlando scores 120 tonight and DESTROYS the Cavs.

I said it here first.

GL.

Play Orlando and the Over.

Parlay that shit.

Make some Coin on the King getting slapped around like a little ho tonight.

WOW. Do you watch the NBA? First of all, Dwight Howard doesn't really carry the Magic. There is no other superstar in the league that has as many off nights as him. There is no reason he should ever have a game with under 10 rebounds, yet it happens all the time. Hedo used to be the heart and soul of that team. This year they are still searching for an identity.

To say Lebron is surrounded by benchwarmers is an absurd statement. Mo Williams is an All-Star and could be a 20 ppg scorer on a different team. Shaq is older now, sure, but he's still a force down low. Delonte, Parker, Z, and Varejao could all be starters for most teams in the league.

To even approach a Cavs/Magic game and say matchups aren't important is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Matchups are the only reason the Magic beat the Cavs in the playoffs last year. The Cavs, Celtics, and Lakers were all better teams.

[james4512]

isnt jameer nelson out? looked at the injurey report and he was doubtful wasnt he?

First reasonably intelligent post I've seen on this thread (besides my own of course).

Cleveland are way better than they were last year with Anthony Parker added to the lineup and Z able to stay rested with Shaq getting minutes.

Cleveland got a couple bad games where they are getting used to their new teammates and people are overreacting. They will get rolling and challenge Boston for the #1 seed come April.

Orlando, still without Shard Lewis and on back to back here after a road game and Cleveland rested. Anyone taking the Magic here are attempting suicide with their dollars.

[hanco21]

Love Cleveland in this spot, They will get revenge from knocking them out last season.

Wow, you're telling me there are actually people on this forum that watch the games and see what is really going on rather than overreacting to final scores of games?!

Anthony Parker is a great addition for the Cavs. Not to mention Boobie is now healthy and has his 3 back. Plus Hickson worked out hard all summer with Lebron and is much improved...he just needs to settle down some.

[daggerkobe]

No one mentioned this but Cavs have been off since Friday, resting for 4 days, while Magic have been on the road the past 3 days playing 2 games.

Cavs should be rusty early on but Magic will start to feel the fatigue in the 4th. Plus this is why the Cavs got Snaq O'Meal...... to stop or at least slow down Howard.

[tltaylor89]

Gotta give Clevland the slight edge .But their was more value in the Bulls +200

[SpartyPt11]

Thanks for you opinion, void of relevant information.

Cavs big play for me.

Ok here is relevant info.. The Cavs cant run like the magic.. they are a half court team. This year they have tried to avoid the 5 min stretchs where lebron is the only one who touches the ball. Have you seen the Cavs play when Lebron is on the bench? about as good as the knicks. Shaq is slow along with Z. howard will destory them, this isnt the 01 Shaq... shaqs new TV show should be Shaq vs........ AN NBA CENTER.. becasue he would need a handicap in that one to win. Mo Williams is a average PG, A Parker is old and slow and can only hit a shot when his feet are set and no one is around him, Andy can hit fade away 2s but cant dunk or make a layup. Cavs bench is awful, boobie is desent.... The cavs need to trade for stephen jackson (yeah that is sad!!) the Cavs got older and slower in the off season.. mix that with a team that has only played 7 games together. they are in trouble. When the Chicago Bulls can dominate you in the post with Shaq Z and andy you arent very good. BOL to you but the Magic with howard, nelson, and 1/2 VC is better then the cavs.

[Spoon]

The Cavs are a complete mess at this stage. While they have some talented players, their chemistry is off at the moment.

Magic should take this game.

[HustleGetPaid]

Cleveland wins by 8-12 points. The King will not disappoint tonight!!!

Spoon you from or in Tally?

[SpartyPt11]

And whoever said AP was a great addition for the Cavs is nuts.. Thats like saying J Moon is a stud! The Cavs will be a better them when powe gets into the lineup

Lots of opinion mixed in with bad information in there.

And they seem to be running the court pretty good to me.
