Kobe vs LeBron
Melo vs LeBron

Either one would be an awesome match-up. I just hope Orlando don't spoil the party.

Hilarious how the same people who called Melo overrated and barely a top 15 player in the last couple of years are now calling him a superstar.

But Melo didn't live up to the expectation like LeBron and Wade did. Watched him play in NCAA, he was great. But somehow he faltered in NBA in his early years. Now that he is performing, people are rightly acknowledging it.

And laughed uncontrollably when I saw this face Nene made at the end.

Hahahaha!

Not able to watch either series but hoping to see the Nuggets see Lakers off. Any one of Magic, Cavs and Denver could take the championship and I'll be happy, as long as its not the Lakers. Wish I could watch the Denver game 2 replay somewhere, sounds like a good one. Anyone know where I can catch game 3 being in UK?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Clutch as ****!!!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

El Bee Jay baby.

 

[Johnners]

Lebron!

Just said to smith on msn, have been dreading this match-up since Magic got past Philly. Thankfully LeBron is on teh Cavs side

 

[ohtani's jacket]

Unbelievable shot, but the Cavs don't look like title winners at all.

 

[Jono]

That is Godly

 

[Johnners]

Unbelievable shot, but the Cavs don't look like title winners at all.

Indeed, really need to stop giving away 20+ leads. Expect they'll get better as the series goes on though. Perhaps they were believing their own press a little too much after 2 walk-overs first up.

...and the legend grows...

..........

I could not have picked a worse time to miss the playoffs.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Melo on fireeeee.

 

[Anil]

at this point, denver has to be the favourites to take this series...

Hmmm I don't know about that. Lakers' goal is still to split the 2 games on the road. I don't think that's impossible. I see this going to a 7th game, which could be anyone's game.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah I reckon 7 games here as well.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Raining 3-balls at the moment. Huge shot from JR to end the third.

i think denver will win both home games...the lakers look rattled right now and denver looks increasingly confident...

Faltered? He's been one of the best scorers in the league since he's arrived and has led his team to the playoffs every year, something none of his draft class peers has done. Better late than never that people wake up on him though.

Nuggets are in major foul trouble in the 4th here. Worried as the last 2 4th's turned into whistle fests.

 

[Fusion]

Another close one. What a series!

 

[duffer]

Holy **** Kobe came up big there
