Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

Weekend Video Time: Long Live King James

I was at Irish Kevin's last night (a bar in Key West...for those non-Floridians) during the 4th quarter of the Cavs-Magic game.  Talk about insane!  I've been saying that Hedo Turkoglu is a clutch outside shooter and last night came as no shock to me, although the shot he hit to put the Magic up by 2 with 1.0 second left was a ridiculously lucky shot.  But the shot by LeBron was what playoff basketball is all about.  He got his separation from Hedo (not a foul, by the way), caught the ball and put it up in one motion. 

I know I said that the Lakers-Nugs series would be sick and that the Eastern Finals were a wild-card, but DAMN!!  There is some great basketball suddenly being played by the NBA's Final Four....all we had to do was get rid of the other 12 teams.  Anyway...in case you missed it, after the jump you'll find the game-winning shot by King James that tied up their series at 1. 

Hope you are all having a great holiday weekend...I'll be back on top of the Heat news when I get back to the mainland.  :o)

i haven't been watching the series

but is Turk the main defender on Lebron? if he is, why didn’t they just getter better more athletic defender for that one play. Turk did the best he could but i don’t know, but Rashard on him. taller with longer arms.

bad inbounds defense

that whole play could’ve been easily prevented.

First off, Pietrus is the main defender and hes been doing an excellent job. I would’ve kept pietrus on him.

Most of all, Rashard Lewis needs to put way more pressure on the inbounder (a la lamar odom in the lakers/nuggets games 1 and 3). That would’ve prevent the inbounds from getting to lebron anyways. Mo Williams is like 6’2 and Rashard Lewis is 6’9!

just bad defense. oh well, I still think the magic will win it.

hate to sound bitter but....

all the lebron kobe comparisons (ESPN.com went crazy today) are pissing me off. I really hate wades supporting cast right now because he remains in their class

but the magic match up too well against cleveland. It looks like its their series
