g, that Dwight Howard sure is overrated.

winning 3 straight is gonna be near impossible but if Lebron really wants to take on that mantle of being "The Chosen One", then he needs to be able to will his teams to victory when they're down in a series just like Jordan used to be able to do... don't recall if MJ ever brought his teams back from a 3-1 deficit in a 7 game series or not tho... winning it all next year will be CLE's only chance of keeping Lebron in CLE if he gets eliminated by the Magic this year.

how can people say the refs are working this one for the Cavs when we have yet another game howard should've fouled out before the 4th ended.

The noncall on him pushing that Cavs guard to the ground while going for the loose ball with 4 seconds left followed by the moving pick to free Lewis for the 3 on the ensuing play was refs got paid officiating at its finest.

Howard was already screening Varajeo and then he sticks out his leg and trips up Ben Wallace to free up Lewis, and right in front of the ref...it was a great shot by Lewis but it was an awful (by awful I mean extremely biased) job of officiating in the Magic's favor.

do not listen to mck1's propaganda...he rocks a wallyz4life tattoo on his neck...

LET’S DO THIS ON THURSDAY NIGHT

Whew!!!!!! Are ya’ll as exhausted as I am after that killer game? That was a gut-check of all gut-check games for us and the Magic came through again? What are they gonna say now?

We’re so, so close to playing for that championship in the Finals, but now is no time to celebrate because really we haven’t done anything yet. We’ve won three games, but you don’t get anything for that. If you think winning last night was hard, t rying to close out the Cavs at The Q will be super hard and we know it. That’s a good team that won 66 games and they aren’t going down without a fight.


Speaking of fighting, how about those tackles that Varejao put on me a couple of times during the game??? And I’m the one who gets the technical foul!!!! I was just playing with emotion. You get in the game and you score a big bucket, you let your emotions take over. I wasn’t taunting Varejao or anything. My thing was, it was a tough play, he grabbed me around the neck and I made the shot, so hopefully they will look at it.

And on that final lob play, he rode me out of bounds, but there was nothing called. I just feel like if that had been a certain guy on the other team, the whistle would have been blowing.

This thing with the T’s is bugging me pretty bad right no w, but I can’t let it take me away from my focus on helping us get the job done. I can’t believe that I’ve had six of them called on me so far, and some of them have just been crazy. I’m not a dirty player, I don’t talk a lot of trash and I don’t curse the officials, so I can’t figure out why I keep getting them again and again.

Hopefully, the league office will look at this one and realize it was just the heat of the game. There was no taunting. I’ve already had to miss one game because of my elbows, and I made a promise to myself that I’d never have that happen again with my elbows. The thought of me having to miss another game is killing me, so I’ve got to keep my mouth shut and my elbows down.

We’re getting contributions from so many guys now – Shard, Turk, MP, C-Lee and my man Skip to My Lou. That wasn’t Rafer Alston out there tonight, that was professional street baler, Skip To My Lou!!!!

We just feel like when we’re playing like we did last night, getting help from everybody, moving the ball, running and playing defense, that we can beat anybody.

We’ve got to close this baby out now. It won’t be easy, but we feel we can get it done against anybody if we just play our game.

I’ll be ready and my guys will be ready, so let’s go do this.

Holla. — DWIGHT
