The Official Cavs vs. Magic thread
- Thread starter Desert Eagle
- Start date
I think he's trying too Hard.
don't you mean 6 points instead of 9?
and for cranrab, how many of those misses by LeBron were rebounded by the Magic?
you're correct.
it WOULD be different.
for the very reason that you chose NOT to address.
tobe IS that volume shooter whose missed FGAs leads to a higher rate of conversion for the other team.
but i already stated that lebron james shot poorly by his own standards. i didn't think that was a point of contention.
what should be a primary point of contention is the poor guard play (ball economy) by delonte west and mo williams TONIGHT.
what should be a secondary point of contention is the poor shooting by mo williams.
as i've pointed out already, the orlando magic were able to convert only 5 of lebron james' 17 misses.
what you should also note is that the orlando magic were able to convert 4 of mo williams' 11 misses.
EDIT: and not for nothing, but the actual point value would be 9.036 so even had lebron james shot for average, it still wouldn't have been enough tonight.

Kidd is a free agent now
oh didn't know that...I wonder how much cap room the Cavs have for this offseason...
The amount of foul calls isn't the problem I have...It's the timing/degree of foul calls I have a problem with...The ones I don't like the most are fouls called post-shot attempt and charge/block call consistency...
LS rounded up to try and make his reach stretch all the way.
and damn, y'all are some demanding m.f.s
but in the interest of good basketball discusison, i'll give you the info you wanted.
orlando magic players rebounded 9 of lebron james' missed FGAs.
orlando magic team also got 2 additional team rebounds off of lebron james' missed FGAs.
thanks 4 the info
and even though LBJ missed those 17 FGAs, he still had 24 FTAs...24. And at least he was able to shoot near his percentage...
Just got in from a lasagna bar to check this thread and the fucking game ended on page 38 and 11 pages later y'all muhfukas on some back and forth Skip Bayless analysis shit 
WTF
Fuck all that shit, I have nothing but unfounded irrational uncorroborated pure uncut hate for the Cavs.
This shit could easily be 3-0 series and a fucking sweep!
CAVS SUCK TERMITE TESTICLES!!!

Anybody with a pulse can see the refs favored Cleveland(minus cav fans). It's not just about fouls. It's about how they officiate the game in general. Blown calls. Obvious goaltending calls that are missed and phantom fouls called against Orlando that could possibly alter the outcome of the game.
Goodnite Cav fans. Guard your grills
did you photoshop the blood in?
Nah, that's the original
Lebron is averaging 42 points 7 boards and 5 assists on 55 percent shooting this series while leading his team in scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals
Wasnt Kobe doing the same shit a couple years ago after Shaq left and ninjas on here talkin bout he wasnt making his teammates better?
Relax Cav fans....right now,David Stern is talking to the game 4 officials.
Of course the officials can't put the ball in the basket for NoMo Williams.

not to belabor the obvious... but wtf is a lasagna bar?
on the real, that sound like some homo shit.... do they served tossed salads at this lasagna bar???
I've been saying that since before the series started. Pic your poison... and I would pic Howard.
Skip Bayless is going the fuck off on LeBrick this AM. I am LMAO!

By Chris Broussard | ESPN The Magazine
ORLANDO -- His nickname is Mo Gotti, and now the Cleveland Cavaliers' point guard actually looks like someone who's been involved in mafia business.
The wrong side of mafia business.
Midway through the second quarter, Orlando's Anthony Johnson drove down the right side of the lane with Mo Williams hounding him tightly. A referee whistled Williams for a foul, and Johnson went into shooting motion -- a strange, unorthodox shooting motion, one that saw him violently raise his left elbow and smack Williams in the eye.
Williams hit the deck immediately and when he got up several minutes later, he had boxing gashes above and beneath his left eye. He continued to play, logging more than 41 minutes, but not without the aid of four stitches -- three to close the upper cut and one glue stitch to shut the lower one.
At the postgame press conference, Williams, looking like someone who'd been roughed up by some wise guys, didn't mince words. Asked if he thought Johnson nailed him with a cheap shot, he said, "Most definitely.''
Then he talked about how Johnson hit him in Game 2, when they both flew into the front row at Quicken Loans Arena while going for a loose ball. "This is the second time,'' Williams said. "He gave me the elbow then.''
Johnson, who received a flagrant foul 1 on the play, disagreed wholeheartedly, and said he was surprised by the call.
"It was just a weird play and I hit him in the face,'' Johnson said. "There was no intention of trying to hit him or anything like that. My intention was, upon hearing the whistle, I tried to get the ball up to the rim just to get the two free throw shots.
"I'm not a dirty player. I just tried to get two free throws. It kind of threw me out of my game a little bit because in no way was it a malicious play.''
Williams said it didn't throw him off his game. But his game is still clearly off.
A first-time All-Star who averaged 17.8 points on 46.7 percent shooting this season, Williams had his third straight subpar game Sunday, missing 11 of 16 shots and committing five turnovers.
His 15 points and three assists left him with series averages of 17 points and 4.3 assists, but he's shooting a measly 32 percent from the floor.
He's not the only Cav who's struggling. In fact, every Cleveland player not named LeBron James is being outplayed severely by their Magic counterpart.
"It's amazing how we're still in games at times,'' Williams said. "And I think y'all know why -- its No. 23.''
It's doubtful that James, No. 23, can carry the Cavs past Orlando by himself. Even though he's averaging 41.7 points, 7.3 assists and 5.7 rebounds on 53 percent shooting, he's going to need some help.
Williams, who's averaged nearly 19 shots a game in the series, said he'll stop trying to be Robin to LeBron's Batman and just play the game.
"In Game 4, it's going to have to be a collective group, not just myself,'' Williams said of James' supporting cast. "I think I'm going to have to defer a little bit, not rush shots, not force shots. It has to come from a collective group, what we've done all season, instead of having just myself being that guy.''
James, for the record, also thought Johnson's elbow was dirty.
"It was a little extra,'' he said. "The foul was called and he continued to swing his elbows. I mean, you see Mo's face. It wasn't a pretty sight. It's not called for in this game.''
Williams isn't taking any consolation in the fact that he showed major toughness. After Johnson was called for the flagrant, he was rushed out of the locker room to shoot the two free throws. If he hadn't shot them because of the injury, he would not have been able to re-enter the game.
Williams, who got his nickname from his love for mob movies, said he won't retaliate against Johnson. But in doing so, he nailed the Orlando backup with a cheap shot of the verbal variety.
"I got bigger fish to fry,'' he said. "I got to go and figure out how I can make some shots and get open looks. I couldn't care less about Anthony Johnson -- he plays 12 minutes a game. I couldn't care less.''

I like what Mo said and how he handled it,and yeah...he showed toughness,but...if he does not step up his game,he will be a major goat.
And watching the game last night...the Magic just have more players who are functioning.
The Cavs look....confused?...a step slow?...ill???...land-locked???...like damn,somebody step up.

yes, I rounded up. 2.75 = 3
I'm just fucking with barnac. Kobe never averages what Bron does on the back board, but of course he's not 6'9".
On the real, you know if Bron was 6'6" he'd maybe be Tracy Mc Lady, or perhaps a better shooting Jason Kid.
not to belabor the obvious... but wtf is a lasagna bar?

Do I know you?
Only a hybrid-CAC fluorescent fuchsia leggins wearing faggot named after a a new age faggot would "decipher" that
Muhfuka giggling like MJ, scanning through threads with 3D FTP-generating optical googles
GTFOH gimmick.

can someone translate what he just said in English?

Playoff competition in pro sports always magnifies a team's weaknesses. I wanted to believe the rag-tag group of players around LeBron could get it done, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

If the Cavs lose there is a big possiblity that Lebron James might bolt from Cleveland for a bigger market like New York.
