1. Lakers are a better road team than the Cavs
2. Bryant had 32, lebron had 49 shooting way better
3. Lakers are a better team than the cavs and could overcome a 8 point loss at home

I want to see what you say after the Cavs win the next four!!!! You prob won't show.

LeBron has the best game possible at home and you still lose.

wow

While the original poster is clearly a small-penised douchebag, I don't like this match-up for Cleveland. In fact, though Lebron is obviously the best player in the world, the Cavs might just be the 4th best team left in these playoffs. We'll see.

You mean outside of LeBron scoring 49 points and losing and having several guys for Orlando go absolutely nuts last night as the team shot 55% from the floor on the road?

She was asked, "Why will Orlando win?", and she gave a valid answer.

Some of you, for whatever reason, have an inherent bias against her that is so strong that you refuse to acknowledge a valid point.

And again, people were raging on her because she said the Magic matchup better against the cavs than the 76ers, which is malarky. People weren't on her for saying the Magic might win.

It's not her statement, it's your attitudes toward her. Go back and read that pile of shite of a thread.

And her comment was valid, when taken in context.

Again, here is the context:

Question: Orlando can beat Cleveland because …

Scoop Jackson: … LeBron James could get hurt, and just maybe Jameer Nelson will have the most miraculous recovery in the history of modern medicine. Those things aside, I really can't see the Magic getting past the Cavs. The Cavs are too focused -- they are playing like they are on a mission, but not looking past any one game or any one opponent. The Magic, much like the Lakers, seem too inconsistent to really believe in or fall in love with. But here's the deal: If the Magic can find a way to get LeBron in foul trouble in one of the games in Cleveland that isn't Game 7 -- reducing his minutes and his intensity on the court, making him play passively because he doesn't want to pick up fouls -- while at the same time shooting over 50 percent from downtown in that same game … then and only then will they have a chance. I'm just not sure God is feeling the Magic like that, though.

Jemele Hill: … the Magic have figured out some of the Cavs' key weaknesses. I know the regular season is punted once the playoffs begin, but certain trends have become obvious. The Cavs are not an overwhelming offensive team. Their defense fuels a lot of their offense. LeBron James and Mo Williams will get theirs, of course. But Bron still is prone to overdribbling and settling for fadeaway jumpers. Zydrunas Ilgauskas can't do anything to stop Dwight Howard on defense, and the Cavaliers better hope Z can use his jumper on offense to pull Howard out of the paint. Rafer Alston averaged 18 points and 6 assists against the Cavaliers in the regular season. As ridiculous as this may sound -- especially with the way the Cavs have been shredding teams -- the Cavs are a much easier matchup for the Magic than the Celtics or Sixers. I'm not ready to nosedive off the limb and call the upset, but I fully expect this series to go the distance.

Read the ENTIRE RESPONSE to the question, and take the sentence that BEGINS WITH THE PHRASE "as ridiculous as this may sound" in its proper context. If you do that rationally and objectively, then you wouldn't call her statement "idiotic".

You need to develop some gray matter between your ears, but that's beside the point.

It's one thing to disagree with a writer. What took place on that thread was uncalled for on so many levels, not the least of them being that what she wrote was not out of line.

LeBron played great but West and Williams shot a combined

10 of 32.

NOT GOOD!

again, bye bye cavs
