I think we're going to come out on fire Friday night. I expect the supporting cast for Cleveland to take a lot more shots and make a lot more shots, but if I've said it once I've said it 1,000 times, we're the better team. If we bring it, we'll win. Period.

THAT'S HOW YOU COMEBACK FROM A BAD HALF AND HORRIBLE OFFICIATING THROUGHOUT TO KNOCK OFF THE KING!!! :D

59 2nd half points is massive.

Loved Stan's press conference.

Sweet Lew came up clutch.

THAT'S HOW HEDO NEEDS TO PLAY. If the shot isn't falling, distribute.

Skip and Old Man River both brought good contributions.

Tony and Marcin did well.

Peaches has been fantastic throughout the playoffs.

Lee doing well with the few touches he gets.


Looks like LeBron was suffering from cramps.

Friday night is an even taller task, trying to take a 2-0 lead and winning both games at the Q, but lets aim high. If we could some how pull that off.....OH MAN!!!!

I wonder if the Cavs will put LeBron on Rashard Lewis. They don't have anyone else who can guard him.

I think we all need to take a moment and reflect on the magnitude of what just happened:

We could not get a call in this game (especially in the 1st half)

LeBron basically drops half a hundred on us, mainly from jumpers

They hit a longer than half court buzzer beater to close the half and get a 15 point lead in a building where they had lost one meaningful game there all season long. They lost ONE GAME there all year that mattered.

You can't say enough about this win. I think we're going to get their best shot in Game 2 and I expect the supporting cast to do a lot more offensively. But the question is, will it matter? They shot the lights out tonight for them. They aren't an offensive powerhouse to begin with and they sure as heck can't guard us.

I'm so ready for Friday. I really think we learned our lesson from Boston. We have to go for the throat, because it is there.

Magic bench outscored Cavs bench 25-5! Wow, I remember the announcers saying that Cavs bench had 5 points sometime in the 3rd quarter and they finished with only 5!

I've got to get up at 6 in the morning for work, but right now I could care less. I'm watching NBA Fastbreak on ESPN and don't plan on getting any sleep for a while.

The Refs handed this game to the Cavs. We beat the Refs and the Cavs tonight.

The problem with the Cavs and their bench players is when they expect a fo-fo-fo season, they mistakely overlook that the Magic is standing right in front of them.

I am still speechless after that game. All im gonna say is that game was all mental toughness and the 1st qtr and a half was some of the most bs non calls i ever saw in my life. There were atleast 10 pts scored by the cavs off non foul calls on dwight and rashard. We still one though and might just be getting into the cavs heads but cant get too cocky. We gotta come out big time next game and not be happy with the split.
