I believe on the Chuckster!
Refs Suck...you are allowed to play defense on everyone who's name is not LeBron. I understand superstars getting their calls but I believe we've got one of those too. Dwight gets hacked and pushed all night long but that seems to be alright. LeBron gets a little nudge (or gets blocked cleanly from behind) and that's considered a foul. Calls need to go both ways. Also, I am sick and tired of these people saying there is no conspiracy against the Magic. I'll believe it when the refs officiate properly. But it would be terrible to lose all that money if we didn't get a Cavs-Lakers Final.
Cav fans are here because they are running scared. As Barkley has said, we match up real well with the Cavs. That folks is the honest truth.Cav fans you know it too. So just start hiding under your baby blankets and suck that thumb while you rock back and forth in the fetal position! While the 2 games Orlando won against the Cavs this past season don't mean a thing now, history does repeat itself.
I love the Magic being the underdog for this playoff run. As underdogs, we can play without a whole lot of expectations from the media. The Magic will play loose with plenty of energy and determination. After all, what do they have to lose? To all the Celtic fans: suck it up. YOU LOST. See ya next year. Stop all your hate. Be a good sport and just lick your wounds. One of the best shots after Game 7 was of Ray Allen talking to Rashard Lewis. I don't know what was said but as classy as Ray Allen is, I'm sure he was telling Rashard to beat the Cavs' butts next. Cavs fans: DO NOT expect an easy series. You have not played a team that has a dominant shot blocker and presence in the middle. Dwight changes things defensively quite a bit. I know, I know, some of these bloggers (including so-called "Magic fans")have basically said we don't have answers for LeBron, Williams, or West (West?--was that for real?) but defense is a team effort. So long as the Magic play well together defensively, they have a great chance of beating the Cavs and any team representing the Western Conference in the Finals. This should be a fun series to watch. Let's go Magic!
Patrick can predict the outcome all he wants. The truth is, the players determine the outcome. The Magic is the better team physically. Mentally...well that's another story. If they don't self-destruct when Boston makes a run (see Game 6), we will see them at home on Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston has been very fortunate to "steal" Games 4 and 5. Magic needs to "punish" the Celtics in their home court and in front of their fans. As the Good Book says..."thou shalt not steal". LOL
I too am a little curious why Reddick is starting instead of Lee. Before Lee was hurt he was starting these games. Is his psyche really that fragile that he would be afraid of contact? I haven't seen that since he's been back. He still takes it to the hole and seems to defend just as well. As far as the matchup with Reddick and House, Reddick needs to close out on House faster so he doesn't get his shot off. House will not be as effective with a hand on his face. SVG cannot be too concerned with Reddick's confidence. His job is to win basketball games not to be Reddick's shrink. Sorry to see that Hedo is not the same player as last year. Many have expressed their frustrations with him taking too much time holding the ball then throwing up bricks. Hedo is a great guy but we need to have a better player with the ball in the 4th quarter. Rashard may be that man. Lewis needs to take better advantage with his match up against Davis or Scalabrine in the 4th. He can't be afraid to make contact and just make the move to the basket. Force the refs to make the calls. He and Dwight needs to stop making Davis look like an All-Star and play better defense. Dwight cannot allow a punk like Perkins to push him around in the paint. You can't tell me he can't move Perkins around. Dwight has tremendous strength and needs to utilize it wisely. I like our chances of winning game 7 even though it is in Boston. Be tough Magic men. As a team they need to not fall in love with the 3 ball when it starts stalling. The ball needs to move around and they need to get higher percentage shots. Also, they have had wonderful success when they run the ball and not allowing the Celtics to get their half court defense set.
Whether you agree with the dad or not, attacking the kid's weight and calling him names only shows how immature some of you people are. GROW UP!
