Orlando +7.5 at Cavs - Game 5

['BusNative]

Seriously. Who set this line? Has Vegas been watching??

Cleveland was favored in both.

Oh. Well it was straight up on BP at least.

Excluding the Game 7 against against Boston, Orlando probably played their best game of the postseason, and the Cavs were close to stealing it with no one showing the ability to make big shots. The only reason West and Williams got their points is because LeBron created it for them and they are still both shooting at a poor percentage. The series is not over because if Mo or West decide to actually step up, or Mike Brown stops putting retarded lineups out there for half the game the Cavs can win. I also wouldn't mind seeing some more Boobie if Mo and Delonte fail to show up early.

Which is absolutely insane if you ask me. Betting on Orlando has been easy money in this series.

As they progressed to the 4th quarter, I had never been more certain of losing in Game 3 and 4 with the score being so close. Pushing it to OT in Game 4 gave me a glimmer of hope, but even Lebron couldn't handle the pressure and fatigue as evidence of his turnovers. After barely making his second FT shot, he looked <gasp> human - rubbing his eyes with shaky hands.

Here's hoping for the best in Game 5.

Haven't seen it posted here.

Dwight's technical foul has been rescinded.

Noooo...what happened to the conspiracy to help the Cavs get to the finals?

They probably realized that it is not happening and they do not want Howard to miss a game in the finals

Magic +7.5? This is clearly an Elitist Banker plot. All in on the magic .

It was a bull[censored] call in the first place.

Seriously, I like Howard but he needs to control his temper (and his elbows).

I agree. It's weird that he's like that because he seems like a genuinely good guy off the court.

I don't know, I think it is good for him and the team. Not getting the T's, but finally showing some damn heart. I remember laughing my ass off at Magic fans because they would down by 20 and he and Jameer would be laughing on the bench. He got a lot tougher in the past couple years and it shows.

Couldn't this be said about every game of the series so far? The Cavs have consistently failed to shoot well and the Magic have consistently shot the lights out, playing well above how they have performed in the past. The more of this series I watch, the more I just think that this really is a terrible matchup for the Cavs.
