Reminds me a bit of the 2006 WCF. Wouldn't surprise me if the Cavs still won this in 6.

There's no way the Cavs are losing this series.

Hedo is mad underrated. 12 and 13 assists in his last two.

He's great. I think he's a perfect fit on this Orlando team with its roster and offensive system.

Was anyone else surprised that Lebron's blood was not silver or blue or something?

I was watching the game at home and my wife, who doesn't watch any sports, walked in just as the Cavs-Magic game ended and saw Lebron surronded by people on the court. And here's how our conversation went:
Wife,"What happened to him?"
Me,"He's being a baby."
Wife,"Huh? He's having a baby?"
Me, after LOL,"No, he's being a baby."

It's also funny how Denver is finally missing free throws, three pointers and a wimpy center is dominating them.
Had the Mav's won game 3, it would have turned out to be a different series...

clutching, grabbing, lane violations...doing things other that would be considered cheating if a Maverick uniform were involved...what a way to win a basketball game.

Ha! That's hilarious.
Way to go, Nugs. Damn thing should be 2-0 right now. I thought from the very beginning that the Nuggets would handle up on the Lakers. I may have been overly optimistic, but I still think they will win in six.

In the NBA. In the Olympics he was awesome.
And in that same vein...Melo's defense is also overrated.

I agree. Melo has abused Kobe when Kobe tries to guard him. I actually think Melo's D is underrated. Before the playoffs he had a rap as a BAD defender and he's been pretty dang good, even on Kobe.

Mo Williams threw the ball at Dwight Howard and no technical foul was called.
Stern. Your league is a pathetic joke.

I had to watch that about 40 times before I believed what I saw. I know a lot of you think Lebron is over hyped but damn...I jumped right off the couch for that one. That was incredible.

I wonder how many people were halfway to their cars after Hedo plus a tv timeout. It would suck to miss something like that.

Yep...I think that was about the clutchest thing I've ever seen in the NBA. I mean...down 0-2 on your own court is downright nasty (the Mavs and Houston notwithstanding). One point oh remaining. Down to a sliver of a chance--IF that. And then swoops in the guy on the white horse. That was absolutely legendary.
Oh...and there is no way Lebron is overhyped. When he retires, I'm sure he will be regarded as the best to ever play the game.
Good kid, too.

It was just a lucky prayer IMO. His career 3pt% is just 0.32. I wouldn´t expect him to hit that shot at a high rate.
Anyways it will be considered a legendary shot. I just hate the LeBron hype. And it will only get bigger now.
BUT LeBron is a good kid. How he mentioned Hedo in the interview and gave him credit is just typical for him. I disagree though about the greatest ever thing. He won´t surpass MJ.
