WilliamTell Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cle will be there, but LA won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can build a lot of hype with Lakers or nuggets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 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.

Felix Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 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.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 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.
