[Hotdiggity11]

[jjgold]

Why is it a pick??

[HustleGetPaid]

Who is out for Orlando??

Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu are out for the Magic.

Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu are out for the Magic.

The Turk is now a craptor, Lewis is out. Still not impressed with the cavs either bet Orlando or leave it alone. Orlando has plenty of snipers to fill in for Lewis, cavs team chemistry is horrible. Shaq is a plague clogs the lane for Lebron and less touches for Mo and West. I wouldn't spend a dime on the cavs till they prove Shaq was a good fit, look what the suns have done w/o "the big stub" clogging the lane. And when Z and shaq are on the floor proper ball movement will lead to wide open three's, this is the biggest joke move to try and get Lebron a ring.

Cavs roll in this one, they are rested and need to make a statement. After all, this match-up is the reason they got Shaq in the first place. My Cleveland LeBron's roll tonight boys ...

What makes you think that Orlando doesnt need to make a statement? Lebrons a beast but he cant win the game by himself.

[Buckeye]

What scares me about this game is it seems to good to be true. I know that the Cav's have had three days off but they just don't impress me to this point and guys are still not stepping up (Verajao, Williams and West - head case) and Illgauskas looks to be finished. I admit Shaq can play at moments but I think Howard should take him to school. That leaves Lebron trying to do everything, which spells trouble for Cleveland!

How many games do we see where a team needs to make a statement, or needs to win this game. There's a good reason they need to make a statement here, they weren't good enough in last years finals, they haven't been good (at all) this year.

Winning form is good form, and what have the magic been doing? winning!

I may be biased, I got burned big time with the Cav's againt the Bulls, but screw the cavs, until they proove that they can win, not just that they should win, or need to win.

[SportsTerminator]

I'm pretty sure Orlando wins, but I'm staying away...

[Wrigley]

STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME!

[redbull]

Superman will whack Superboy
magic struggle when meet good big man
shaq a good bigman? okay his era already pass , but this match , meet the team who beat cav at playoff last year , he extra motivated to show why the cav not wrong pick him.

[Spoon]

Magic should handle their business tonight.

FYI, Hedo no longer plays for the Magic.

[HustleGetPaid]

Let's go Cavs!!!

[D. Brackets]

Heather Cox needs to eat more meat

[R3Sports]

Here we go!

[TheAccountant]

I lost interest when someone said Hedo was out for the Magic. I don't think he's going to be in any time soon since he doesn't play for them anymore..

I stayed off this game though - the ESPN games like this always burn me.

Who is on who?

The Squares are on the Magic
The Sharps are on Cavs.

Not very complicated.

[williams22]

I'm on the Cavs, duh.

The Lebron and Mo screen game is scary when they attack the hoop. I hope they do more of than this year rather than the passive screen and pop they usually run.

squares?
sharps?

[HustleGetPaid]

LeBron and Mo looking good early on, let's attack with Dwight on the bench!

[SportsTerminator]

Cavs looking sharp. And I'm not surprise that Dwight is in foul trouble.

[williams22]

squares? sharps?

Welcome to gambling.

[Dark Horse]

Refs tag Howard with two quick fouls, after he was fined for criticizing the zebras... Forget it. Game over. Cavs win.

Zebraz rule.

I don't care how big Shaq is, you're not allowed to hang on him.
