What A Game!

That really could apply to any of the Conference Final games so far, huh?

We caught the end of the 3rd and all of the 4th of Magic/Cavs Game 2 at the sushi place tonight. The place went a little nutty when the Magic took the lead with one tick left on the clock and then lost their collective shit when King James sunk the 3 to take the win.

Now, don't get me wrong - it was a great shot under pressure.

But really?

REALLY?!

What kind of mental/defensive breakdown does a team have to have to let that situation unfold?

Up by two. One second left on the clock. There's only one thing you don't want - a three pointer. And there's only one person you don't want shooting it.

And who was shooting? Exactly.

How the hell does that even happen? Hell, a five on one cover of James to let anyone else in the team shoot would have been a better idea than that. I can't believe they didn't at least put two guys on him to prevent the ball from getting in his hands.

Alas, they didn't and the series is tied.

But is it just me or does anyone else find their big celebration on the floor a bit... well, dumb?

Why give your opponents any more motivation to drill your asses through the floor in Game 3? And shit, it's not like you've won anything yet. Save that shit for a parade if you make it that far.

Here's hoping Dwight Howard goes for 40/20 in Game 3 and throws down a dunk that shatters the glass.

The more important Game 3 is tomorrow though. Cross your fingers - it's gonna be a rough one.
