I think your post says it all - expect the refs to throw it for Kobe tonight. And if the Nuggets win, expect David Stern to announce that the Western Conference Finals is now a 9-game series.
That was another terrific game last night. Every one of the Eastern Conference Finals games have been really close and really entertaining so far.
I think the Magic are for real. They play solid D, and force other teams to pack it in against Howard and then can kick it out to excellent jump shooters like Rashard and Hedo.
Man, I hope the conspiracy theories aren't real. But it's a problem for the league that so many of us think they could be.
Of course Orlando is legit. I didn't see the game yesterday but they're closer than anyone to the championship. They certainly don't play like most title-winning teams but they've won too many playoff games not to be taken seriously. And while LeBron's getting his points, they have managed to keep him somewhat in check, which no one else has done. Their shooters have to keep knocking down shots down the stretch, of course, and the chance that they won't do that is probably what makes them look like they're less dangerous than they really are.
I actually agree that the Magic are legit because they have great outside scorers and a huge presence in the middle. Teams have gone all the way with less talent. But there is part of me that can't buy into a team that give p.t. to Tony Battie.
I think the series goes to show that the Cavs are basically LeBron and the 11 Dwarfs. He is scoring a ton of points, but the team is still losing because no one else is coming through. All of which leads me to think that he will be bolting Cleveland for NYC at the first possible opportunity . . .

Can the Magic be for real?

Yeah, 'cause the Knicks are loaded! Guess it'd be cool to live in New York.
