Ok it takes a big man to admit when he's wrong....and I am not that man. But I will change my predictions and you can infer from that what you will.

Magic in 6

Lakers in 7

With the Lakers winning the whole thing...

Grumble grumble...Lousy Cleveland...cockteases....overrated...no good outside shooting wooses...

Haha darkllighter.

I remember the Cavs whining before the All-Star game about Mo' Williams not being named as part of it. He eventually was named to the All-Star, and yet he hasn't played like one so far this series. Even Mickael Pietrus coming off the bench for the Magic has played alot better.

[AYHJA]

Man, the only think that I could think about while watching the Cavs this year has been the Houston Rockets...I remember last season, they were playing better than anybody at the end of the year...What'd they win, like 23 straight or some shit..? Got to the playoffs and ran out of gas...With the exception of LeBron, who really isn't even that huge of an exception to be honest, the Cavs have run out of gas...They needed a last second shot to beat Orlando...By any count, this should be a 3-0 series...

I don't know how Cleveland can rebound...Unlike the Cavs, the Magic don't need their big name guys to score tons of points...Turk had 1 field goal last game, and it wasn't until the 4th quarter...On what could be considered an off night, the Magic won by double digits...Shit, if they didn't have to go back to Cleveland, I'd call this one 4-1...

[Habib]

OK wow what a loss by the Lakers...you aren't supposed to be losing by 19 in the playoffs with that kind of caliber.

[AYHJA]

I think the refs may have blew the fucking silver off those whistles..!

[Habib]

I kind of noticed that too. What's up with Dahntay Jones tripping Kobe Bryant and then they don't call it? It's not the first time in this series that he has done it.

The Nuggets went to the free throw line 49 times -- a large disparity compared to the Lakers 35.

Oh well, next game.

Today the Magic and Cavs are playing. The Cavs lose this game and they have pretty much lost this series and can start preparing to start having fun golfing.

[AYHJA]

The NBA should be reviewing this shit, and sending up some suspensions...The Nugs play dirty all the time...Kenyon Martin tried to break Gasol's arm last night, and they were up double digits...He didn't even let go when the the ref came...

[Habib]

...The Nugs play dirty all the time...

No wonder Mark Cuban called them the "Denver Thug-gets." They are way too dirty, and by the way K-Mart's body is just fucking disgusting (sorry I just had to throw this one out).

Cavs are 1 loss away from calling it a season. The Magic are really doing a good job.

[AYHJA]

Just to think, if LeBron doesn't hit that shot, this is a sweep...

[Habib]

Magic vs. Cavs tonight.

The Magic has to go in and treat this as if it was a Game 7 so that they can close this baby out for good and send the Cavs on to an early summer.

Go Orlando!
