The better team won and will win this series

Facts are Facts. Orlando has to many solid players that can step up while LJ has to do all the work and everyone is watching. Ya they will have some guys step up here and there but will not be enough to beat Orlando. To much Depth IMO and this happen on their court with a 16 point lead.

It is

Cleveland cant cover Lewis or Hedo

Mike Brown is going to have to really earn that COY

May go 7 but Cavs will get it right

Not surprised with the home record. I could be wrong but most game 2s seem to be blowouts after the home team loses and based on the ridiculous home record for Cleveland its expected and I think LJ will have a lot more support for game 2. No way they go back 0-2 and LJ will be in his teams face and have them ready for Friday. I liked Orlando a lot tonight with the points especially with the lay off but I would lean towards the Cavs and lay the points in this spot. This should be a very interesting game and like rjb mentioned Magic do matchup well against them and don't really panic when they get down with the way they light up the 3 point line but the CAVS are the play here in this spot.

I agree with what your saying Bisket thats a lot of points to lay to this team but I think the Cavs will get another DD lead but LJ won't let this one get away again and wouldn't be shocked if this ends up being a 20+ blow out late as the Cavs will keep pouring it on to keep the momentum going into game 3 but still love the Magic to win this Series. I want to see RON JEREMY get a ring after Riley ****ed him.

Series will probably go 7 now. Cavs take game 2 and will get 1 in Orlando. Won't lose again in Cleveland.

I jumping on that one. Wonder what it will be after they lose game 2 and love the value on Nuggs after seeing game 1.
