Cavs will come back and win the series, and then the Championship. The NBA couldn't have Cleveland coasting through the entire playoffs. There had to be SOME drama. Watch the Cavs win the next two, close out Orlando, and then move on to the Finals. Watch it.....
I was thinking about this, too, while watching the game tonight. Orlando has totally outplayed Cleveland this series, and deserves to win it. If the Cavs somehow find a way, they will probably find some help along the way.
I hate conspiracy theories. If you want a conspiracy theory, look at Rafer Alston and ask 1. Why was he in the game in crunch-time? 2. Why was he continuing to shoot crappy shots in a fairly close game when he's 1-7? Answer: He's an idiot. If Nelson was playing, they probably would've swept.
I don't get this though, where did the NBA create drama here? The Cavs played no one in the first couple of rounds, then they got matched up against a team that did well against them. There hasn't been much conspiracy so far except for some of the Free Throw records being broken. The Magic played very well considering the first quarter of Game 5 they were down huge, but they do need to close out in Game 6 because they've been real up and down in these playoffs.
Because he kicked ass in the previous game, and who would you rather have in, him or Johnson? I would take him.
Johnson was outplaying him that game. Yeah Rafer did well previously, but he was absolutely forcing shots in the last half of the 4th.
