Is it just me, or is this a different Orlando Magic team that played the Cavs?

They just don't have the energy they did last week. Heck, Lewis, Pietrus, Alston and Turkolu were shooting the lights out, while Howard was just bullying the Cavs inside. What happened to that team?:wtf:

Orlando is getting just as many open looks as they did against Cleveland. They just arent hitting them. Also, don't count on one guy going 60% from the 3 for a series ever again.

TigerCoach,

Don't count out the Magic. Let's not forget this team bested defending champion Boston and reached their peak by turning back Cleveland. They are on the ultimate high but it will show Tuesday night when they return to Orlando.

The Lakers are a team that knows what it is like to lose in the finals and they are a very determined bunch of guys to not let that happen again this year.Their big men also are much better than the Cavs big men especially on offense.Gasol and Odom are head and shoulders above Z and Wallace for the Cavs.They match up better as a team against Orlando than the Cavs did.Orlando has cooled off a bit and they are not hitting open shots.Courtney Lee had 2 shots that could have won game 2,in regulation,for Orlando but he missed them both.
Watch out for Orlando in game 3.It is a must win for them and they should be able to figure out a way to get that victory.If not get out the brooms........
37 of 38 teams have gone on to win in the NBA playoffs,when leading 2 games to 0.It doesn`t look good for Orlando this series but they are not DEAD yet.

Lakers big men are more athletic and quicker than the Cavs. The head coach at LA is much better at finding weaknesses and exploiting them. And I don't think coach Jackson would let LeBron stand at the top of the key and dribble for 20 seconds while the other 4 players stand and watch.

Cavs cant compete with either of these teams and a series with Denver would not have been easy either...........

The Lakers and Orlando have better TEAMS than the Cavs......thats the bottom line.....the cavs need to get better.....Boston has one or two more good years left in them also........

Lakers ARE different and they will take the crown..It will be interesting to see what the Cav's do in the off season.

Orlando shot 76% from the field in the 1st half, shot great all game and barely won the game. Kobe Bryant missed 5 free throws and some shots he normally drains! Good win for Orlando last night but they overall do not match up well with LA. Ariza, Walton, and Odem are playing great defense on the perimeter this series.

LA in 6 maybe 5 depending on what happens Thursday! if LA wins its over in 5, if orlando wins--I give them 6 games before going home.

DAWGH8R,

You at Mike Tyson's wedding...best man? Interesting.........

...anyway, I think the L.A. Lakers are going to be in a fight against the Magic. I can't see Orlando going quietly. Look for game 4 to be a barnburner.
