Think the NBA would be angry if the finals was Denver and Orlando instead of Cleveland and Los Angeles? The ratings wouldn't be as high.

I would pay to see the look on Stern's face the second either Denver or Orlando clinches. I think Cle will be there, but LA won't

A Lebron vs Carmelo Finals might be something the NBA wants.

I dont think they mind either way. They can build a lot of hype with Lakers or nuggets

The Lakers have flat nobody that can matchup with Carmelo. He's just physically man-handling anybody (including Kobe) the Lakers put on him. He might be the second toughest matchup in the NBA outside of Lebron. They already have nobody that can even bother Billups. I expect J.R. Smith and Chris Anderson to play much better at home. I fully expect Denver to win the next two games.

Not that anyone cares, but the Wolves announced the hiring of David Kahn today as their new GM. He didn't make a prediction on wins, but did say 40-50 were possible within the next few years. I struggled to not laugh in the middle of the press conference :P

yep, im surprised they made the right call......what a shot by Turkoglu....1 second left from the magic going home up 2-0....not looking good for lebron and the cavs

oh my lebron

Well, that was a kick in the balls for the Magic.

people always say michael pushed of byron russell.....watch the shove lebron gives Turkoglu

This Lebron guy might be ok.

Oh my effing God!!!

one of the top 3 buzzer beaters of all time imo

because I can't pass up the opportunity.

That's gotta suck, Orlando did everything right the first two games and are an amazing shot away from being up 2-0. Cleveland blew another big lead early and it almost cost them. They can't match up with both Lewis and Turkoglu unless they go small, which they don't do well. Still, I have to think one of these games Cleveland is going to get that big lead and hold it, Orlando has hit basically every jumper they had to just to keep it interesting.

I'm not one to easily compare a player to MJ but that buzzer beater considering the situation was downright Jordanesque...the camera angle from behind the basket reminded me of MJ's shot against Ehlo a bit.

I couldn't help but feel that this shot brought Lebron one step closer to MJ. If Lebron can improves his defense again, then it will be hard for me to seperate them.

You have to admit, LBJ has made up for all the painful Cleveland memories at the hands of MJ.

6 championships still separate them. On the other hand, Lebron is only 24, he can get there.

And he can also do that in another city too.
