hmm I dunno, I still think Kobe would be good... or even Odom.

actually now that I think about it, I think a good strategy vs Denver would be to play really big

Bynum Gasol Odom Ariza and Kobe playing the point. You could stick Odom on Melo (Odom is strong, large, and quick... so Carmelo couldn't easily shoot over him, overpower him, or get by him), Kobe (or Ariza) could stick Billups. Then their guys like Nene, Anderson can be guarded by Gasol/Bynum and stick the other (Ariza or Kobe) on another Denver small. That's a good strategy IMO.

IF Denver goes small, then obviously they change it. But IMO going big might be a very good idea against Denver.

Just being a sore loser here as a long time magic fan:

The missed technical when Mo threw the ball at Dwight was pretty damn important after all. As a consolation prize, the NBA will announce tomorrow that it has added a technical foul onto Williams' record for suspension purposes (since you miss a game after x technicals). That really helps a lot, thanks NBA.

GODDAMN Lebron is FILTHY

He could end up bein the best player in the history of basketball by the time his career is over.

Props to Hedo on the nice pull up but really Van Gundy should've had Pietrus guarding Lebron, he's stronger and more athletic than Turkoglu.

As I was watching the game, I started to root for Orlando just because of the calls (and non-calls) that went in favor of the Cavs.

I almost had a heart attack when they called traveling on Lebron though. I thought the world was going to end.

I think Cleveland can get by with the mismatch on the defensive end (even though they're playing shitty defense) because Cleveland is generally the better team if Orlando only gets 2/3 of their stars going off, but the Cavs won't make it if their offense continues to be so mindbogglingly bad in the 2nd half.

this is barely a blip on the radar of magic mishaps over the years.

That was fairly cold blooded. I can't even make a comeback because I kinda like the pistons. For my money, the 88-90 piston team is the greatest in NBA history.
