Lucky day for the LeBrons.
Can you not pin everything good the Cavs do as just luck? I know you seem to hate "the LeBrons" (and erm, it's not like the rest of their team is the Oklahoma City Thunder, but w/e), but maybe they were just better that night lol. It's not like the better team (as Orlando has clearly been this series) ALWAYS wins or that their losses are because of luck. Just admit the Magic were bested, even if it was by the team you seem to despise.
History tells us that a good defense beats a good offense most of the time.
Yeah, most of the time. Not always, like you were strongly implying/basically said...

Yeah, it kind of does since the Magic have won like the last 10 of 14 against Cleveland.
Yeah, it kind of doesn't, actually. The result proves my point. Your own point should have told you that your reasoning was off...the Cavs DID win 4 out of those 14 games. Game 5 could have easily been one of them. Turns out it was.
Picking games isn't an exact science...there is a difference between disagreeing with my pick and saying it's downright wrong. You can't reasonably say that since picks are, as the name implies, just predictions. You can base it on history and all of that and be correct more often than not, but you can't just say that someone who doesn't agree is wrong, since games aren't determined on paper. On paper, a lot of people had the Cavaliers sweeping the Magic, lol.
Yeah, an Orlando/Los Angeles series would be fun. The LeBrons can play basketball since LeBron is still there. Without him the Finals would've been determined by now.
Your obvious anti-Cleveland bias aside (which as you can tell, sort of bothers me), I am excited to see how the series turns out. I find the NBA's product isn't nearly as fun to watch as the NCAA's, but I'll be watching down the stretch if the Series gets interesting. I kind of want the Lakers to win just because I'd like to see Kobe get the Shaq-less ring and to make last years finals not as miserable. I'm no Lakers fan, but Kobe probably deserves it.
