man jvg is SUCH an annoying announcer.

I actually like him at times, but his voice is very annoying- sounds like he is whining all the time.

JVG has a Walton-esque need to constantly be saying something ridiculous

Nice game by the Magic. Was Kobe limping going into the locker?

Kobe shot his wad too early in the game. Looked like he wanted to break Orlando early, but they went through that kind of situation in the Cleveland series. Orlando is a pretty resilient team, actually.

Good game by Orlando but it is still only 2-1 and the Magic played their asses off in the first half. I just wonder if Rafer will show up the next game because they need him. If Pietrus finally answers those MJ draft day comparisons in this series it will be tough. But the Magic had to win at least one for my Lakers in 5 pick. The best part no more Joey Crawford.

Shaq's 1st Finals appearance = 0 wins (& he had Penny Hardaway at his side)
Dwight's 1st Finals appearance = 1 win so far

Man, Dwight was along for the ride. Fish's boy had amazing game. Dwight should be going for the typical 30points, 20 rebounds, 8 blocks performance.

21 / 14 / 2 on 5 of 6 shooting & made 11 of 16 FT's... that's a pretty efficient output for any bigman... not exactly going along for the ride like you're putting it dude... stop hatin'... LOL @ your 30 / 20 / 8 expectations for this guy... he's 23 years old & just got done helping his team beat Lebron & his Cavs... this guy's career is just beginning, if he keeps improving he's gonna be a HOF bigman w/o question... this series could very easily be 2-1 in the Magic's favor right now too... i said it before & i'll say it again, i think Dwight will win a championship before Lebron does.

I just going with Briggs' theory that he already surpass Ewing. Ewing put up those type of playoff numbers. So maybe I shouldn't be holding him to that standard but I at least he should be in 95 Shaq type territory at this point.

i think it's unfair to hold Dwight to Shaq's standard... the kid came straight outta HS & is basically learning on the fly in the NBA... i think he's done a terrific job up to this point & is already the best C in the NBA right now IMHO... that says alot about his work ethic & desire to get better... i think he's gonna be a special player before it's all said & done... i would have zero problem taking him over just about any player in the NBA right now w/the possible exception of Lebron if i had to start an NBA franchise, & that's only because Lebron brings so much more marketing appeal... a lotta great championship teams had a great C anchoring it, & i think Dwight can be one if he keeps working hard at improving his game, which i have no doubt he'll continue to do.

Ewing maybe had those numbers a couple of times, but he definitely didn't average that. Who averages 30-20-8?

Yes, he'll definitely continue improving and as soon as he clinches that post-game it's a wrapski. He has a good head on his shoulders, and while I would not choose him over Lebron if starting an NBA franchise, I would definitely choose him if Lebron was unavailable due to a career ending injury or something. As far as championship teams, the finals are long from over and I think the magic definitely have a shot at winning this series. So that tells you something about him to begin with, he's in the finals and he's only 23.

agreed - he is such a likable guy and seems to have the work ethic to get it done - can you imagine him in 5-7 yrs.....my lord he's gonna ROCK

LOL I was wondering if anyone would make the connection.

I actually don't like it a lot and was about to delete mine but lately has been a nice networking tool so if it keeps connecting me to the right people professionally, it will live a little more.
