regular season might not count for much but orlando handed the lakers a couple of loses. i'd rather see cleveland

yeah there aren't a lot of guys in the league who have the combo of speed, size and shooting ability of turkoglu and lewis. to have two of those guys on the floor at the same time presumably drives opposing defenses a little wacky.

(Though by posting this I've probably jinxed them)

Yeah don't get all Tracy McGrady now. Orlando's blown a few of these things ya know.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 17:34 (fifteen years ago) link
BTW I will totally eat crow now cuz Ben Wallace and Szerbiak (amongst others) are completely freakin' useless. Cleveland would be so better off with Antawn Jamison right now it's not even funny. They should have taken the payroll hit and pulled the trigger, team chem be damned.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 17:35 (fifteen years ago) link
the cavs need more bodies to throw at howard. z can't guard him. for some reason joe smith only played 4 minutes. varejao does his best but he's just one guy. too bad j.j. hickson is hurt--he's at least big and young.

Maybe, but who guards Howard?

More importantly, who will score points when Lebron is off his game
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Wednesday, 27 May 2009 17:50 (fifteen years ago) link
But more bodies isn't really the problem. I mean it's not like any of them can guard him one-on-one and once they collapse on him Orlando is just killing them from the wings. Maybe another dude to match up with Turk or Lewis who wasn't a waste of space offensively.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 17:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Er wait, I guess that's the point of getting Jamison, doh
I mean you can't guard Howard. The only lucky thing for the rest of the league is that Howard hasn't yet figured out how to have a more complete offensive game. Once that happens dude could end up being pretty close to O'Neal good for the next ten or so years.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 17:51 (fifteen years ago) link
Howard picked up his 6th technical, 1 more and he's suspended for a game. David Stern conspiracy theory: T him up next game, Cavs win, Howard suspended for Game 6, Cavs win, setting up a Game 7 in Cleveland. Bring back Donaghy to make sure it happens
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Wednesday, 27 May 2009 17:56 (fifteen years ago) link
i think you can make some headway against howard with the right guys. philly had tons of young big guys to throw at him. perk did an admirable job. this is a problem unique to cleveland--Z is useless on both ends of the floor right now and has no chance of stopping howard, and wallace isn't much better. bringing help plays right into orlando's hands, so you have to have somebody, anybody, who can hang with him one on one more than half the time.

My palms kinda get sweaty when I think about what Dwight could be with Hakeem as his personal coach, instead of that sweaty paper bag of a man Ewing

"i think you can make some headway against howard with the right guys."
Cleveland doesn't have those guys.

alex it helps when you read the rest of the post--we agree on this point :)
― Is because I think a lot of the music you like is flowery? (call all destroyer), Wednesday, 27 May 2009 18:03 (fifteen years ago) link
I know, I know. I'm just saying that's why it doesn't matter if you play Joe Smith more on the defensive end cuz Joe Smith is not going to do any better than these other guys (well maybe than Wallace who looks just plain awful.)
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 18:06 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i mean joe smith just for the sake of getting a fresh body in there maybe.....who is darnell jackson? is he good for anything? the fatal flaw i didn't see in cleveland's front line is that it's made up of old motherfuckers who are too slow to guard howard.
― Is because I think a lot of the music you like is flowery? (call all destroyer), Wednesday, 27 May 2009 18:08 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm thinking Lakers in 6. Or 7. I don't think the Nuggz can pull 2 out of 3.
Magic in 6, and I believe this will be the final motivation for LeBron to assume his highest power level, and just DECIMATE the league like no other next year. I predict he avgs 33+ next year.

league rescinded that sixth tech on howard

it's just so they can give him a double tech next game. conspiracies!

Yeah Denver's in big trouble. Still rather be them than the Cavs though.

I still feel the Cavs are more likely to make the Finals than Denver.
― collardio gelatinous, Thursday, 28 May 2009 19:32 (fifteen years ago) link
yea xp i went from thinking the cavs were basically a sure thing to like wtf?!?! after the last two games. don't wanna say it won't happen but it's pretty unlikely. bummer, i totally thought this was our year, was looking soo good. tho i can at least still happily say that they still have a chance
― mark cl, Thursday, 28 May 2009 19:35 (fifteen years ago) link
xp on paper maybe, but watching the games it seems hard to believe that the Cavs can win three straight against an Orlando team that has been basically owning them for the entire series (albeit not by a huge margin), year, last couple of years.
