Sadly, they *did* follow the game 1-2 blueprint and after getting that huge early lead, they let Orlando get right back into it...again.  The scary part was how easy it was for Orlando to close the deficit and take the lead.  If I recall correctly, in 17 minutes of game time, Orlando went from a 22-point deficit to an 8-point lead.  That's a 30-point swing that should've been made a LOT harder by Cleveland.

They got bailed out by some favorable officiating and it helped that they remained aggressive (that timeout call early in the 3rd was critical) and they absolutely NEEDED those huge 3s from Williams and Gibson. 

But one of the things I heard last night on the radio really tells the story, though: Orlando did almost everything possible to lose a game they didn't have to win and they STILL almost won. 

From a fan perspective, it would be nice to get two Game 7s in the conference finals, but Cleveland has a lot of work today and will have to play flawlessly to bring the series back home. 





actually...the refs have a lot of work to insure howard is in foul trouble by the 4th Q again...so the middle is open for #23 to become the King.  oh...brother!.  that dumb sh#t barkley, miller and kenny were talking about in the post game.  lebron = athletic version of a 24 yr old shaq = that's it.

have to agree that kobe is the better but the nba aint letting that ride because of the colorado BS.  image is everything in a bookie runned league

man those refs have been terrible.

lebron barrels into a retreating defender and gets free throws to go to overtime.

then dwight howard gets shoved outta bounds and no whistle.  if you're gonna give 1 superstar the calls, give them to howard too.

2nd best ever behind Wilt Chamberlin..... 50 points and 25 rebounds a game average in a single season.

Case closed.

He also lead the league in assists one year.

Doesnt mean anything, pratically every team back then had a guy who avged at least 15 rebounds, today 14rpg wins you best rbounder in the league.Pace of the game back then was about 30% more possessions, so add that to the scoring,teams were taking almost 120 shots per game and shooting under 40% from the field,Wilt himself was shooting 40 TIMES A GAME!no 3 seconds in the key, players didnt jump to block on defense (seriously), no boxing out,league was also full of white stiffs, no defensive schemes etc etc.Put a prime Shaq back then and he'd probably avg 80ppg on 70%fg, Saying Wilt is great for those stats is like saying your local ymca hero is the best player who ever played because he plays with retards with special rules.

I am forced to concede that your statistics are true.

Well put my friend.

That is a different argument. He is the best that i saw play but remember Oscar Robinson, Dr. J, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlin, George Gervin, Charles Barkley, Dominique Wilkins and many more.



        Dominique Wilkins and Dr. J are my 2 favorite players ever, and I hate Jordan. But there is no way you can say either was ever the all around player that Jordan was when the Bulls were winning rings. Neither had an outside shot as good as him, or played defense like Michael. But as far as taking it to the hoop, there was nothing Jordan could do that they couldn't.

       If not for Dr J. and David Thompson, there would never have been an Air Jordan!

      He patterned his game after thes guys, as well as Dominique, who came in a year earlier than Jordan. But nobody threw it down with as much authority as Wilkins. I would say he was the best dunker of all time in games, better than the Doctor or Jordan.

       As for best player ever, one could make a case for Jordan, Wilt , Oscar or even Magic. Magic was one of the best passers and most vesatile player ever. He could literally play any position on the floor, and proved it his rookie year. As he was forced to play center in the NBA finals, and the Lakers won. If his career was not cut short, he would probaly be considered the best guard ever, and maybe the best player.
