I'm not sure they can.  IF they do, then they will take the series cause I don't see them losing at home.  Magic is more comfortable playing at home with their crowd as we've seen.  It will be a close game but if they can't stop Howard from driving to the hole or Petrice from shooting the three's then it's going to be a blowout.  

If LeBron, Mo, West, Ilgauskas, Verajoa and the rookie Gibson, all show up, then they have a great chance.  But seriously guys 8 teams in the 63 years of the NBA being founded have done this.  1946 until 2009, 8!!!  That means once every 7.8 yrs this happens.  The last time it happened was in 06 when the Suns came back on the Laker's and won.

Not to likely but anything is possible in the NBA :D

Cavs in some ways were lucky to win this one tonight, in spite of the final score.

For you who think they can win game six, rationally tell me why.

First, Cleveland has to play better defense, especially covering the 3 point shot. It seems if Howard doesn't shoot, then the shot is a 3 pointer. Orlando doesn't have a mid-range game. Maybe let Howard get his points, but if Orlando shoots 35% or better from 3, forget it. Find a way to get Howard in foul trouble, which basically limits Orlando's offense. Lebron is Cleveland's best defender, hence he has to guard either Lewis or Turkoglu. Except for Howard, Orlando is a finesse team. Put some bodies on Orlando. Let them know how difficult it will be close out a team.

Lebron, especially in the 4th quarter, is playing like Kobe when both don't get help from the supporting cast. But that takes a lot out of player, even Lebron. I doubt he can control the 4th quarter for 3 consecutive games.

the 3 pointers. The problem is Orlando has so many 3 point shooters, they probably all won't be cold at the same time.                                

Cavs have serious match-up problems; Lewis and Turkoglu are big and can shoot the 3. Frenchy Pietrus shoots the 3 and plays tough D on King James.

Cavs can win if Alston has a lousy game 6 as he did in game 5.  



First thing is that the Magic are listed as a 1.5 or 2 point favorite, so winning the game is not much of a stretch.  Second is when LeBron is on the floor, you will always have a chance.  

Finally I am pretty sure that David Stern is hoping for Lebron vs Kobe :)   Don't be surprised if calls for the Cavs way in a competitive game.  Orlando probably needs to be 10 points better to win.

Like I said Orlando may need to be 10 points better to get it done.   If a team is better, then they are better, but with a game close the calls will favor Cleveland.  

How much better were the Pacers than the Knicks....a TON better, but the barely got by. :)

I read it and was like LMAO.  I so can't wait to post it.  And you happen to leave the door open hehehehhee.  But I agree with you completely.
