Magic @ Cavs, Game 5: 2nd Half Open Thread
NBA May 28th. 2009, 10:20pm
Will the Cavs be able to hang on after coughing up a 63-point lead?
Who is your favorite Cav not named Hot Rod Williams?
Is Mark Price’s knee brace in attendance?
Is Penny Hardaway watching with ‘Lil Penny doing the one-man wave on his lap?
If you slept in a cigar room for 16 consecutive weeks, it would still be difficult to look like this bad, wouldn’t it?

I miss those old jerseys. Gotta go back to those full time.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
I can’t help but think how epically uncreative it is that his nickname is “big z”
May 28th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Tyrone Hill. Man, that is bad. good rebounder, tho
May 28th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
You’re a rock star, Hernia. Thanks for the new, easy to scroll thread.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
wow lebron was up that court in about 2 seconds flat
May 28th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
I think the NBA may need to work on that “continuation” rule.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
i enjoy your enthusiam spencer
May 28th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
I gotta say, I want Cleveland to take this series because I want Kobe-Lebron, but at this point, I’m just praying for at least a game 5 victory for spencer.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
Awesome.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
is turkoglu the ultimate “hate him unless hes on my team” guy?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
that’s a trick question, isn’t it? He’s from Louisiana and is Tulane’s only good NBA player.
Larry Nance, if I was such a homer.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
just in case you have missed the news.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
What is with this crowd? How do corpses have money for playoff tickets?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
BSSM- No way… you’ve got Noah, Rondo, Varejao, etc.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
was-wasn’t
May 28th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
All ugly hero.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Aaaand that free throw just went in.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Ok, last one, but Kaman, Muresan and Popeye Jones are all part of the original.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Dwight Howard is so smiley.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
that’s a trick question, isn’t it? He’s from Louisiana and is Tulane’s only good NBA player.
also the only guy who went to college in Louisiana named John Williams that was actually a good NBA player.
/Hot Plate’d
No second team is complete without A.C. Green (during the first half of his career)

May 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
gotta cancel out noah and varejao…they arent really any good..rondo works
May 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I wish I sucked enough at my job to become an NBA ref.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Wasn’t Popeye Jones pretty ugly?
By the way, I started All-Ugly team with currents in mind. So in that case, here’s what we’ve got…
PG- Rondo (fucking female alien, google it)
SG - Delonte West (mullato ginger with herpes mouth and bad tats)
SF - (FILL IN BLANK - Charlie V and his hairless body??)
PF - Joakim Noah (my precious)
C - (FILL IN BLANK)
May 28th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
UNO’s best player. I was a student there a year after he left. He had to be at least 25-26 years old at the time..
May 28th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
might as well throw in big country bryant reeves if your gonna use ostertag
May 28th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
when is the NBA going to start T’ing guys up for flopping?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Chris Kaman, Ndub
May 28th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I think Robert Swift is pretty ugly.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Good point; they’re pesky fuckers, though.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Going back to this AUT thing, does Jaric get a pass because he planted his seed in Lima’s belly?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
we need photographic evidence, gentlemen.
Chris Caveman is a leading candidate for center. Who’s this Robert Swift guy… oH GOOD LORD I JUST GOOGLED HIM. Another fucking ginger. Looks like that Flying Tomato Fag Shawn White. Swift has my vote. But is he still in the league?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
that chick in land of the lost is a grade a smokeshow
May 28th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Robert Swift, ladies and gentlemen. (DISCLAIMER: Make sure your mouth is not full of food or beverage).

alright folks im gonna shut the puter down for the night i am sad that i wont be here to ridicule sa after the game with my witty remarks. later folks.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
have we mentioned adam morrison yet for ugliness?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Looks like Sarah Jessica Parker in her prime…
May 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I thought that dude from Blind Melon killed himself.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Jersey - I think so. His eyes are too close together. I think he’s a “other vote getter” or second-teamer.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Sheldon Williams is not from this earth. I don’t care if he’s not a great player, he deserves a slot. He looks like Steve Francis with an unwelcome forhead extension.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
BSSM - I think he’s up there, especially with that gross hair. It’s him or Charlie V for SF right now.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
You know what? Yes he does. That is not only playing above the rim, but reaching heights most thought untouchable. Congrats to him.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
You are totally right. We have a log jam at C with him, Swift and Chris Caveman. What dya’ll think? We need to get this starting five assembled.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
have we mentioned adam morrison yet for ugliness?
Did he ever actually take the court in an NBA game?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
this cleveland crowd is pathetic
May 28th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Morrison is just a guy with great Laker seats.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Jaric is in this man’s company when it comes to pure game. I mean, really. Do these women not know who they are?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
I would pay 20 grand to be in Sabathia’s suite right now.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
The guy might win a ring before LeBron!!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
I think Lima got hypnotized when she tried looking into his eyes. How do you not get cross-eyed?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Not really ugly, but Kenny Walker’s hair deserves a spot on the team.
/I love the 80’s’d
May 28th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
They should give Nicholson a ring before Morrison.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Mike Brown is 3/4 hippo.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
You gotta give it to Kaman, since he’s the better player. Those other guys did bring the ugly, but not the stats to back it up.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
And 1/4 goldfish.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Can someone explain the correlation between Mo Williams and the Godfather theme? Why the fuck do they play it when he hits shots?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Boobie actually made a good play in these playoffs!! good for him!
May 28th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
I wonder if Jordan Farmar fucks with Adam Morrison during practice and makes him cry.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Why do they play the Godfather music for Mo Williams? Moe Greene, I assume, but he gets iced in the first one, so what is it they are going for there?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
wow the magic have missed 12 free throws and are only down 1 point?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Polish hammering Lebron’s shot!
May 28th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
The local radio hosts in LA says Farmar is a little bitch. He’ll try to bitch at teammates, but back down quick. He’s kind of a little punk.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Why is everyone waving jizz rags?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Boobie is alive!
May 28th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
If Gibson hits that shot in the 4th it’s on to Orlando.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
i get the feeling lebron could have goten off alot better of a shot than that flip over the back, but he wanted to look fancy
May 28th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Bron Bron trip doub
May 28th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Mo Williams loves Mafia movies, especially the Godfather.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
lady who plays the closer= blonde lady puppet from team america
May 28th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
His nickname is Mo Gotti. Yes it’s stupid, but what do you expect from Cleveland?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Perhaps he should start watching these.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
lady who plays the closer= blonde lady puppet from team america
She’s probably been “Baconated” one too many times.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Could Lebron guard Dwight in the post?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Why did cleveland start jacking up threes?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
While I think AV is a total douche, Mo Williams is easily the guy on the Cavs that I hate the most.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Fred McGriff does not endorse those videos.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
ZING!!!

@MikeNYC - I have Extra Innings on Time Warner in NYC
Every game is not in HD. They have a “Game HD” network that will show one of the games per night in HD.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
OK - I’m going to actually watch the rest of this game. I quickly turned it off when it was 32-10 figuring Orlando would eventually make it back.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
damn im bummed about that howard foul…that was about to be an epic throwdown
May 28th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
I don’t understand why Howard isn’t a better FT shooter - his form isn’t that bad.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Not sure that was a fould on Pietris.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
pietrus is fucking deadly
May 28th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
is that 5 on Howard? Orlando could be fucked.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Big foul on Dwight - Number 5
May 28th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Since no one else will say it:
MARV!
May 28th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
gibson is saving cleveland
May 28th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Gibson is a joke. Quit smiling and get back on defense.
What a band of retards Ferry has put around this guy….
May 28th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Gibson=JR Smith, think they can ball, but suck
May 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
I think Howard got away with one there.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Pump your brakes there kid… JR is a balla
May 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
See, see, see, this is fucking bullshit. LeBron James is nothing without the refs.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
And that should do it…
/flips to MLB Network
May 28th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
although he did slide into him..not sure thts a foul on howard
May 28th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
His 1 for 10 shooting last game? Is that why he is a baller.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
That’s the game. Howard gets six, Cavs go up 8 on LeBron’s lay-up +1.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
They just showed Ben Roethlesberger and he looks like he ate Hines Ward. Good luck Steelers.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
2 identical calls..good job by the refs.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Pietrus >>>> LeBron
May 28th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
That’s a foul on AV, but you can’t count the basket. You aren’t allowed to travel to complete the play.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
The 2 Super Bowl rings add about 20 pounds.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
What the fuck is this? LeBron jumps up in the air, lands, but then he is allowed to pass?
May 28th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Only took two steps.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
“Crabble dribble.”
May 28th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Let’s not get into how that is a small sample size, lets not get into how Kobe himself says that JR is legit and he needs to be guarded closely when he gets in games
May 28th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Said it with a smile on his face. He said Dahntay Jones’ trip was clean too.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
No he jumped, landed(thats already a travel), set his feet and was allowed to make a pass.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
The 2 Super Bowl rings add about 20 pounds.
Oh, maybe after his accident, he used the rings to rewire his jaw. Because his second chin is REALLY big.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
cavs played a good 4th but seriously any time Howard catches in the post he’s getting fouled…they called the one on z that he got pissed about because they let him get away with blantantly extending both arms to hold him off every time
May 29th, 2009 at 12:02 am
So Mo Williams is alive after all.
May 29th, 2009 at 12:02 am
A genuis this one is again.
/ego knows no bounds!
May 29th, 2009 at 12:08 am
Its called a jump stop. If he lands on both feet he can pass or shoot as long as he doesn’t pivot on either foot. Watch Dwayne Wade play. Its his signature move other than falling down when no one touches him.
May 29th, 2009 at 12:13 am
no props? Can I at least get the mythical title “king of the basketball experts”?
May 29th, 2009 at 12:13 am
I didn’t think Lebron played too well tonight. He can stop it up (and he’ll need to) in game 6. His effort wasn’t there on D until late.
Dwight Howard hasn’t committed a foul in this series. Just ask him.
May 29th, 2009 at 12:16 am
@Mak: I called an exact 10 point victory on twi++er.
May 29th, 2009 at 12:19 am
But I called this one, the Lakers game yesterday, and two other Cleveland-Orlando games(sort of, it was halftime both times).
May 29th, 2009 at 12:20 am
Hey Mak, mad props! You’re on a roll, King of the Basketball Experts!
May 29th, 2009 at 12:22 am
I agree with Ruck. You are a true BE.
May 29th, 2009 at 12:23 am
Jay Bruce > LeBron
May 29th, 2009 at 12:24 am
sniff… thanks guys.
May 29th, 2009 at 1:09 am
Amazing that Orlando continues to shoot more FT than the Cavs while taking more 3 pointers. On less overall shots too, has this ever happened before? Not sure the refs could have been any more friendly to the Magic tonight. Some of those hacks on LeBron where no foul was called were epic. Howard would have been called for about 5 travels in the 1st quarter if the refs had any self-respect. The refs should be embarassed for letting Howard last 37 minutes the way he was throwing elbows all game. Expect even more love for the Magic by the refs in game 6.
May 29th, 2009 at 2:51 am
Duder, as always we vehemently disagree. I thought Cavs got just about every call in the fourth (the last three fouls on Dwight were all head-scratchers).
What worries me is that the Cavs won despite the Magic shooting only 32 percent from three, while the Cavs shot 50%. Yet this was a tight game in the fourth. That doesn’t bode well. LeBron isn’t getting 19 free throws in Orlando.
That said, Cavs can still win this.
May 29th, 2009 at 2:52 am
Duder, you don’t know the rules. I’ll show you sometimes what they’re doing.
May 29th, 2009 at 8:11 am
Wake up, Duffy!
May 29th, 2009 at 8:16 am
Where’s ballin?
May 29th, 2009 at 8:30 am
is this a broken server, long holiday weekend? Or did Duffy get a real job?
