Premium Member NineOhTheRino Posted May 21, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm watching a funeral on TNT. Kenny's not joking and Smiling. Reggie doesn't know what to say. Ernie is trying to get these guys to perk up. Somebody just passed Ernie some talking points. Kenny has tears in his eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted May 21, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 great win but it's only one game. i doubt the puppetmaster allows magic to take the series. No way... but I love seeing queen James squirm on the floor like a worm. More of that would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 WOW...that Rashard Lewis can play some ball! I finally see what 17 mill will get you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrReality Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 And why in the world did James mope around on the court after the game with an injury? Why oh why wasn't he in the locker room instead of in front of the camera??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye242424 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 WOW...that Rashard Lewis can play some ball! Amazing what a little coaching can do. Orlando was terrible offensively in the first half, save Howard. I know Cleveland plays terrific Half court D, but.....Van Gundy made a simple adjustment. Let's try something else!!! Wow....genius! Simple pick and pop with Rashard, easy buckets. Cleveland had no answer, Orlando got back in the game, eventually won. Take notes Woody! Something isn't working, you make adjustments. Proof was in the pudding last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny but I've seen Woody out coach Van Gundy on numerous occasions. Yes Woody needs to be better at making in game adjustments but last night just proved that it's more about the personnel than it is about the coaches with winning in this league. It's amazing what having a healthy roster can do for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing what having a healthy roster can do for you. I think this is a 1st but I actually agree with you. I'd rather have good players any day. Funny how the top 4 teams each have at least 1 HOF type player. How many future HOF players on the Hawks roster?

I don't think Van Gundy is the second coming of Red Auerbach or anything...but he saw something in the defense that allowed him to make adjustments, and it worked. I just want to see the Hawks mix it up, try different things if it's not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) On a side not. Did anyone else think the Cavs had the win when Howard got that bogus 6th foul call on Lebron's and 1 ? I personally thought that call was ridiculous. Howard was standing completely still, jumped straight up and came straight down as Lebron barrelled into him. To me that is a no call. If you feel you must blow the whistle it was more of an offensive foul then a defensive foul IF YOU LIKE TO GO BY THE ACTUAL RULE BOOK. Props to the Magic for not only beating he Cavs but beating Stern and the Ref's attempt to influence the outcome of the game. Thank goodness for 3 point shooting ! One thing the refs cannot take away from you. Clutch shot by Rashard Lewis ! Hedo Turkelough played great on some iso's to close out the game too.

NJHAWK Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hawks gotta get a big. Cavs have no answer for Howard. We can get a big but we arent getting anyone anywhere near Dwight Howards level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that foul, it was like you could read Lebron's mind. His body language said: "I'm going to go low and run into the first guy I see and win it at the foul line.". It was a horrible call and worst, Lebron expected to get the call when he got the ball in his hands. However, Howard was the victim of about 4 bad calls. He was also the victim of about 4 no calls. How many times did Howard get fouled and no call? I am so happy that Rashard Lewis was so clutch!!!! Good win Orlando!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could live with Orlando even if they ousted us out of the playoffs. I cant take the Lebron ayss kissin circus and all their laughing and jumping showing up other teams.

I cant take the Lebron ayss kissin circus and all their laughing and jumping showing up other teams. Howard platooned the sideline like a basketball player is supposed to. He encouraged. He was serious. He sparked his teammates. I noticed in the first quarter the Hi Jinx crew of Cleveland was still there. I was so freakin happen when Lewis busted that 3 all over their collected faces!!! You damn right I want Orlando to win. Denver too. 23 vs. 24 can be done at home somewhere. Maybe Kobe can pull up in a Limo into french lick where Lebron is practicing and they can play 23 vs. 24 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAWKSFAN89 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Now THAT was a damn good basketball game. Mental toughness fellas... that's how they won. Oh, and damn good coaching. Orlando is solid and comes through in the clutch, and have been doing it all postseason. They got key guys and great role players. Both of these Conference Finals series are gonna be good.
