I know it's a Tall Order to Fill, But do the Magic have a Shot to Beat the Cavs ?

[DesertDevil]

Same offer to you WCCOACH....We could settle either way when you make your trip down here to Orlando

Thanks for the offer, but as a rule I try to refrain from placing friendly person to person wagers.

Its no fun taking someone elses money. I would much prefer to do business with a book where it is less personal when I win. :toast:

The only way the Magic have a chance to beat the Cavaliers is if Lebron James gets injured and is out for the series. Otherwise, they have little to no shot. The Magic defense is too porous, even with Howard and their offense will struggle against the Cavalier team defense.

Well, I'm a life-long Cavs fans and when the odds for the series came out, I was shocked. I thought they would be along the lines of -300. And it's been bet up at the Greek already. Started at -600 and is up to -650.
The Cavs have had trouble with big front lines this season, but they've rarely had their big men healthy at the same time. But I think the x-factor
here with the Magic is that they seem to live or die with the 3. Who knows how well they'll shoot the 3's during this season.

Orlando sixth in NBA defense this season and allowing just 90.0 per game so far in 13 postseason tilts.

They played Philadelphia and an injury plagued Boston team in the playoffs. Not exactly offensive juggernauts. The regular season stats mean little at this point.

 

[STACKSONDECK]

it's the nba and the magic have already proven to be one of the top 4 teams in the league. of course they have a chance.

go magic!

i guess you can give them the 4th spot with a healthy boston team they are third best team in the east. so i guess the argument is do you think the magic are better then the rockets and nuggets.

Cavs will not break a sweat ! Magic beat a old Boston team that had lost it's top player and they still barely won that series. Besides the NBA wants LeBron/Kobe and that says it all !

 

[FuriousDrew]

I want to say it will be a good, tight, exciting series but honestly can't see the Magic winning more than 1 or 2 games of the series.

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

The odds say that the bookmakers think no....but at plus money I think they have a good shot...

 

[Romanowski]

Orlando has the worst backcourt of a 59 regular season win team ever

make matter worse their starting PG is out for the season

2% chance

 

[barman]

Dropped a big $30 on Magic +520 and if they lose Game 1 I'm going to drop another $20 on the Adjusted Series Price tomorrow

 

[EasyMoney]

I don't know whos going to win but I can say that I'll be at game 3 in Orlando on Sunday night. To be honest I don't like or dislike either team. I'm just looking forward to seeing Lebron play in person.

107-106...gm 1

[MinnesotaEconMajor]

And the Magic steal the 1st game! :cripwalk:

 

[PokerBookie]

What a game, how about lebron getting 49 pts. Sick perfomance by one player.

:anichamp4:nosepicki:tongue:k::shootbb::thumbsup2:

 

[Betallsports]

They are on a roll no doubt but are and should be huge dogs to beat a rested and very talented Cav team. Just do not see them winning a game in Cleveland unless some unforseen events such as LeBron blowing out a knee occurs (hope that does not happen).

Personally I hope it is a good series and the Magic surprise all and hold service at home to force a game seven.



wil.

No Knee had to be Blown...:grandmais:grandmais:grandmais

 

[RobFunk]

Rashard Lewis, go ahead 3.

Orlando Magic love that shot.

Cleveland better learn to defend it.
