Orlando could not capitalize. Most teams with 3 or less seconds left don't have a chance to win it i.e missed shot, turnovers whatever but down by 1 is most likely a loss for them. For the Celtics this is not the case and they came thru again but with someone you would not expect. As of now Orlando just realized this and I am sure they won't make the same mistake again.
Next game thoughts
1. game 5, if Orlando has the lead after halftime they win.
2. Cavs win the series
3. Mavs win game 4
4. game 5, Kobe scores 30ish with derek back at it, lakers win |

Same thing up by 5 to even 11+ the whole game!! and then the Celtics get the lead with less than a minute left. I knew it was over from that point. :whip: :whip: :whip:
Damn Orlando does not deserve a championship this year. They don't have it yet like a true team you can depend on. MIght have a line up better than most teams but nothing you could rely on for a true winner this year unless somehow they miraculously change and win the next two games in a row. |

Consistency is key but these playoffs have been too much for me.
Who ever wins game 7 will go on:p !!!
1. Lakers are playing like the Cletics of last year in the playoffs. Showing them whos boss one night and then crying to their mommas the next! Houston is running on fumes but with a great coach and decent players that gel if they play great any team could win like that. Lakers got the great coach, the players but no gel. Just mouse or hairspary :wtf:
2. Nuggets got a great coach,a leader, decent players and a good bench and being consistent so unless a complet meltdown they should be some good competition coming for the next team.
3. Cavs..next
4. Orlando and Celtics make me sick. Orlando did not keep it close like I said this past game so that is the ticket. Up by at least 5+ with 30 secs to go. If not then Celtics will have a 99% shot at winning. Dwight got the ball so that helped. Right now Dwight is like Nate on the Knicks. Hes got all-star weekend talent but does he have playoff or maybe championship talent yet. Will see if he does it again sunday@ boston. |

I'm looking forward to watching Cavs v. Celts in the Eastern Conference Finals
I mean, Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing (who went 0-9723409720487028937 as a player with his predictins) of all people is predicting it :gsmile:

Orlando did not keep it close so that was the main factor. Reason is their 4th quarter explosion and Turkolu with the dagger 3 and 2 after that around the 4 minute mark. Orlando def has a great overall front line and ehh bench so the only way they typical lose is by giving up massive leads :whip: meaning they typical have the lead.
Barkley said Orlando over Cavs but IMO Lebron is on a mission. He took down a stong Piston team before(remember that 4th qaurter a while back he had like 29 something !!!!) and I know this Orlando team is not as good as the Pistons of a couple years ago. I hope its a good series but if orlando stays in their and controls lebron which most cannot then they might have a shot. If not then James and mo and company will be going 4-0 on thier asses.
Lakers woke up again. I think if houston gave them a run for thier money then the nuggets are going give them pain if they play right. Karl Vs Phil.
