The Force is strong with this one
LeBron Fucking James! Rarely does anyone or anything live up to the hype but he has and is surpassing it. For those old enought to remember, it brought back memories of Michael Jordan’s shot over Craig Ehlo in 1989 but this time in reverse. Perhaps it will be known as the “Reverse Ehlo“.
The Cavs are not in the clear. The Magic proved they are able to hang with them and they certainly weren’t intimidated by the crowd or LeBron. In fact, in the regular season they were 2-1 against the Cavs. Hopefully this dramatic loss doesn’t shake their confidence to much since it would be great to see this series go 7 games.
As for the Lakers/Nuggets, this series has the potential to be a great one as well. Kobe and Carmelo are taking turns making shots and both are playing defense, especially when they are matched up against each other. The Lakers should when since they are more talented but the play and leadership of Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony makes this anyones series.
No matter what happens, the Finals are shaping up to be very entertaining.

This whole NBA postseason has been one to remember. With the exception of the Cavs blowing right through their first two challengers, it has been an exciting and nail-biting series of games to watch.
