Sadly - this is now the final episode of Inside the NBA on TNT this season.

I wish TNT had rights to the Finals.

As practically the only one that gave the Magic a chance against LeBron and saw Howard stepping up into the superstar discussion, I give Knicksfan kudos!

You go, me!

For ****s sake, why can't the Cavs lose so LeBron wont sign an extension this summer?! Well, Cavs are winning the series and title now. It's over. Fuck life.

Dude, you better be kidding because thats just silly beyond reasonable. The Cavs just won a game in the last second AT HOME against the MAGIC. They are more than vulnerable and Orlando has proved it already.

Orlando had a job: take homecourt advantage away from the Cavs and they just did and were this close to taking two.

This series is FAR from over and the Cavs, just like the Lakers, are NO lock to make it to the Finals.

Great Conference Finals right here!

Orlando can't win the series. This shot killed a lot of their momentum. They will lose a game at home and give home court back to Cleveland.

Oh they can't? Since when do series are over tied at 1 and won because of a three pointer at the buzzer? Thst is completely silly. Of course it looks like the Cavs have the momentum after that amazing shot, and they do. But one of those teams have to win 3 games now. Too much basketball to be played and its silly to overreact to a great shot in Game 2.

We'll see how the Magic react in their home court, but if the pressure is on someone its in the Cavs and they have looked more than mortals.

The Magic can definitely win this series. The Cavs know it. LeBron knows it.

You don't get my style. I did the same thing last year. I would predict the Knicks win every game in order to jinx them since was on the tank bandwagon. It worked. We won 23 games and Isiah got fired. Now LeBron is not going to the Finals. I'm a happy man.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Will it be Celtics' story all over again? In last year's finals, they were the "underdog" to the deep and talented Lakers but LA never really turned their switch on and lost.

The Magic have a very deep and talented team that can attack you consistently from the outside with their great shooters but can also murder you inside with their superstar and suddenly poised and focused Dwight Howard.

This is another series the Lakers can quickly lose if they don't turn the switch on for each game.

Go Magic!

Then root for LeBron to stain in Cleveland, man! You may be our only hope!

The Magic are a tough matchup for any team. Lewis and Hedo are 6'9" , handle the ball and hit the three. Howard dominates the paint and Gortat is a great post player. I think Magic/Lakers will be a great series.

Jalen Rose tore into him for that one & I happen to agree w/him... that was pretty classless & immature of him to do that... i doubt Dwight Howard woulda walked off the court & not congratulated Lebron if he'd lost this series... come on Lebron, u can't win them all.

Could you imagine if Kobe would have a pulled a stunt like that. He would have been persecuted to no end for being a jerk. Yet I am sure the Lebron stans will find another reason to exempt him from the act. Says a lot about character. It's easy to be jovial when everything is going good. He had no problem high fiving Joe Johnson's hand at the end of that series.

Kobe's as competitive a player as they come, but even he had enough class to shake hands w/the Celtics players & talked to the media after they lost the Finals last year, & he did it while he was literally in tears... ur supposed to show respect to the other team & to your teammates after a hard fought series, not walk off the court w/o acknowledging them for the effort they put forth... that was really disappointing from Lebron.

& i didn't catch it but did Melo pull the same thing after they got eliminated by the Lakers or no? i saw him walking off the court real fast after the game.

Melo shook hands and hugged Kobe. You can tell how painful it was for him but he made sure to shake those hands. All the Nuggets made the rounds more so than any other team. Even Breen, JVG and Jackson commented about the sportsmanship and being part of the NBA family. Lebron is in rare company with this action.
