Who compared him to David Robinson and Hakeem? I don't agree with that but Howard is far more athletic than Mutombo ever was.

If Dwight ever gets a mid range jumper, he'd be an absolute terror.

And a 85% free thrower..his game is filled with flaws.

Orlando up 2-1 AND they swept the Lakers during the regular season... interesting.

Uh-oh Cavs fans, looks like that walk-over sweep that turned to a 4-1 series win after that "lucky" win by the Magic must now have turned into a 4-2 win for those mighty Cavs, huh?

Dare I say it?

The Magic appear to be the better team.

:rolleyes: It's all about mismatches and hitting their shots. Dwight Howard making his free throws..give me a break.

its crazy to think the Magic are 1 second away from being 3-0. Cavs still got this. No way Stern doesnt get his BronvsKobe show on.

P.S. That was a clean block by Howard on Lebron.

Don't flatter yourself. Magic are playing better RIGHT NOW. Cavs are stone-cold and that layoff is really hurting their production. I've never seen them play this flat and dependant on LeBron so much. It's a matter of making shots and Magic are just the hotter team right now...

Only if they didn't sweep two series in a row:rolleyes:

Maybe Bron Bron can get his buddy Stern to postpone until they get their heads right.

LeBron and that group of bums he carries better stop believing their hype and buckle down before they are sent home.

Those "bums" helped the Cavs acheive the best record in the NBA and sweep the first two series. They are just stone cold right now and not hitting their shots. It's really that simple. Let them heat up and get into sync.

The Cavs haven't played a good team in the playoffs till this series, the Hawks and the Pistons?

They're running out of time to get in sync... If they don't do it next game this series is basically over.

Hell this was their 3rd game in 6 days, it shouldn't take that long.

And? What does that have to do with hitting your shots? They are getting the EXACT same looks they were getting against the Hawks and Pistons. Only difference was that the ball went into the hoop. Delonte, Mo and Z are on EPIC shooting slumps.

Truth.

Z is shooting 38.2% on 34 shot attempts in the series, Delonte is shooting 41.9% on 31 attempts, Mo is shooting 32.1% on 56 attempts.

LeBron is getting 0 help. But all it takes is one big game from Mo to get his confidence back, and the series could dramatically shift if that happens.

Cavs were 0-2 vs Lakers, 1-2 vs Celtics and 1-2 vs Magic in the regular season. Those role players were top notch when the competition was in awe of James, but when playing the elite squads, not so much. Pressure is on now, so those rims are not as big for those guys. If they lose this series, you may want to start thinking about buying a King James Knicks uniform come summer of 2010.
