See this is why the lakers and celtics are overhyped. Orlando is playing like the defending champion, not the team losing to inferior opponents and giving up huge leads. Elite teams are the buzzsaws which just rip through teams not ready to play in the finals.

Edit: The leads cut to 40!

Hm, the way the Cavs have looked I think Orlando would demolish them too, unless the Shaq vs. Howard plan actually works out or Lebron can foul out Howard. Boston is a very good fit vs. them but still be very unlikely to win. Howard has looked so unbelievable on D.

oh no doubt in my mind that orlando will go to the finals again but to say boston and LA are over-hyped because orlando is stomping atlanta is ridiculous.

Atlanta is just an entirely different team on the road. You look at their series with Boston, where they took it to 7 against the world champions, even though the team itself is different, they are consistent like that. They are trash on the road, and had no "chance" of winning even though they did last 7 games just because of the proportion they lost their away games.

I hate the inconsistency of the Hawks; frankly, it disgusts me. I hope Orlando advances.

Yep. Once again if Orlando made it against LA they'd get rubbed out.

So if the Hawks can beat the bucks by 30 and the Magic can beat the Hawks by 30...

I am almost glad that my Bucks let the Hawks beat them and saved themselves an embarrassing four games.....
