Dwight Howard 6 blocks already!!!
The problem is that they are allowing the Bobcats to drive, the problem for the Cats is that they dont have people to get up and correctly challenge Howard.
Vs the Cavs many of those blocks in the hole would be fouls due to James ability to get up so high.
And as long as the Magic allow teams to attack Howard, he will be in foul problems through out the game.
Like most teams the Bobcats dont have the personnel to deal with Horward and the Magic.
Jameer is unconscious!!! buzzer beating three-pointer to end the half!
looks like Cap'n Jack is gonna be watchin the second half from the locker room.

The Reports of Jameer Nelson Demise are False ask Felton..... Funny thing is I've played pickup with both these guys and i'm telling you Jameer is way better than felton......Jameer a lot better than most people realize Believe That.....Just like the pickup game jameer is killin it.
Yeah Turk ain't do nothing for the raptors
Jackson still hurt, but playing
Jackson still hurt, but playing
He's playing worse than he usually does this game. Hopefully he'll bounce back, we need him stepping up.

Jameer feeds off of teams that has to collapse down low on Howard, but when teams are able to play him strait up, he is less than effective. Just look at the Laker games, and the time when the Cavs played with Shaq (when he was not hampered by foul problems).
The problems with the Cats vs the Magic stems from their inability to deal with Howard, you can see this as soon as he hits the bench!
This is the Achilles heel of the Magic.
Cat you are talking about the magic weakness all the damn time.......last year when howard was not allowed to play in game 6 vs the sixers we elimated them without HOWARD............Trust the magic are more than howard.......shoot he only got 3 points tonight........Trust after we dominate the Bobcats and Hawks like we done all year......we matchup well with either boston or the cavs!!
Notice how poorly Neslon looks once Howard hit the bench! VS Clevland this is going to be the norm, cause with James, Jamison, Hickson, Shaq and Verajo always twisting turning moving and driving and fighting, Howard is going to either have to tone down his aggression or constantly find himself in foul problems, once this happens the Magic flaws will come out!
what he said. Felton improved this year. Last year I think he struggles had something to do with DJ many people thought DJ made Felton expendable.
I think he has confidence issues which is strange considering his college career.
He always has to deal with people mentioning Paul and D Williams and how they are all stars. Similar with Marvin Williams.
I still like Felton and this is the bobcats first playoff series and now have MJ as an owner. Things will go up.
The 6ers suck, worse than the Bobcats, there are only two maybe three teams that are equipt to take advantage of the Magic weaknesses, and the Cavs are the biggest problems for them.
DUDE THE CAVS ARE NOT A PROBLEM FOR THE MAGIC....WE HAVE DOMINATED THE CAVS THE LAST 3 YEARS........DUDE THE CAVS ARE TRYING TO CATCH THE MAGIC......EVERY MOVE THE CAVS MAKE IS GEARED TOWARD BEATING THE MAGIC......EVERYBODY KNOWS AFTER LAST YEAR THE CAVS HAVE TO BEAT THE MAGIC THIS YEAR. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT CAVS.
Dude while you was applauding Nelsin play I was the only one that called it right, he was feeding off of the Bobcats collapsing on Howard, just like they did when the Cavs had to do the same thine. What Howard on the bench is exposing, is that half of your team is garbage when team play them strait up.
And unlike most guys that pop shit here, I called this before all of this happen, while Nelsin was lighting them up.
Trust me if they play the Cavs, Howard will have three fouls in the 2nd quarter, then the Cavs will feast!

Regardless of what mofos want to say about Jameer. That mofo can ball. And I know the trailblazers and the heat are still kicking themselves for not drafting him (really...sebastian telfair..really portland...lol) I wonder if that dude the heat drafted over him is even still on their roster..
Hey he is right. The Cavs when they make moves are not moves to win championships but to beat a specific team.
When they lost to the Spurs and Boston began to rise and they saw how they stood against them they made the move for West Ben Wallace and Wally.
After losing in the second round Cleveland felt Lebron needed help and a scoring point guard. Enter Mo Williams.
After losing to the Magic they sign Shaq to counter Dwight.
They tried their best to get Stephen Jackson for Kobe but they didn't want to give up Z. Jamison is to answer Lewis.
No more Anderson or Ben Wallace guarding him. Someone that can actually keep up with him.
Only problem I see with the Magic is they have the deepest bench in the East but Stan Van Gundy refused to give Bass mins (he even asked Otis to trade him. Otis said "Hell no. Sit on that bench and collect NBA checks.") Gortat never wanted to come back he wanted a bigger role and knows that won't come in Orlando. (Otis said "Sit your ass on that bench and you will come in to give Superman a break.")
My problem is Bass can help them in the playoffs but he has admitted not playing has hurt his confidence as his game.
Otis has let it be known he will not resign JJ come off season.
"Let someone else over pay his ass."Hey he is right. The Cavs when they make moves are not moves to win championships but to beat a specific team.

COSIGN MY GOD FINALLY SOMEONE WHO WATCHES BASKETBALL!!!
this why the cavs are a team built for now not the future.....The Orlando magic are good for 5 years or more.......Brandon bass needs to play more cat can straight up play ball!!!! Otis smith best GM in basketball
COSIGN MY GOD FINALLY SOMEONE WHO WATCHES BASKETBALL!!!
Whats wrong with that assessment is that the Cavs are not trying to attack Howard with Shaq, but rather by causing the Magic to play one on one vs the Cavs, no more doubling up on James. And once you isolate Howard, you can then attack him in the paint, causing him to pick up fouls.
Meanwhile the Cavs do not have to double up on Howard, Shaq never doubles up on him, thereby the rest of the team is able to play strait up ball vs Orlando.
remember this is a team sport, not to mention the Cavs depth can allow them to play dirty and hard, vs Howard, sure they will pick up a ton of fouls, but Howard would more than likely pick up his share, trying to fight them off. The difference is the Cavs have 24 vs 5 to play with.
Last year the Magic was able to collaps on James in the paint, this year with Jamison, Hickson, Shaq, Powe, Moon, and Parker, it will be almost impossible to do the same, leaving only Howard left to defend him in the paint. Between the rotation of centers and James attacking, Howard will have a hard time not fouling out of the games.
that's what I said. Shaq is to counter Dwight. Remember last year the Cavs had to double Dwight and at the same time that left people open but as many people pointed out on the offensive end of Cleveland you never had no one really attack Dwight. He was basically helping out his teammates when ever someone droved to the basket.
The games Cleveland beat the Magic. Shaq was aggressive with Howard. Had him in foul trouble early.
Cleveland is good but Danny moves are always to please Lebron which they should but they are narrow visions. As shown a team he never counted on beats him. In 2007-08 season they were so worried about the Spurs they didn't factor the C's until the trade deadline.
In 2008-09 they were so focus on the C's they didn't think about the Magic and Dwight.
I like Cleveland chances but if they don't win now. You have to look at it like this what else will they have to do? Move Delonte or Mo?
Orlando core is young exception of VC and he comes off the books next year. Cavs are 35 over the cap. Their time is now.
Orlando if this year doesn't work they have so many bargain chips I can see them retooling again.
I agree to a certain extent, but if I was a GM, I would not want any of the Magic players other than Lewis and Howard, the rest of them are overated befitting from playing along side of Howard. The Cavs do have a bunch of young players that are developing, Verejo, Williams, Hickson, and Gibson and if you take away Shaq contract, Jamison, and they should be fee to retool a bit.
Your Assessment is right except for one fact the CAVS had the same amount of Fouls last year.....anderson and z and ben wallace were all there. You can HACK HOWARD that is FINE......then orlando will play small and beat shaq and Z down the court......Either way big or small orlando can play.....u act like anderson,gortat,bass, and lewis all over 6'10 my man. Your cavs aint the only team with DEPTH my man that all i'm saying
last year the Cavs had only one decant center that was Big Z, so he was not able to foul out or get into any foul problems. This year they have four guys to play center, that 26 fouls vs 6. Do the math! Plus last year they was able to collapse on James, with no other scores other than Williams, this year they have a ton of scores especially player who can attack the hole, this will put even more pressure on Howard.
