Agree on many points, but it's more of Cavs performing

under pressure, instead of Magic performing bad. They did score 102 points, which is a lot for this Magic team.

Rafer was cold for sure, but he's just option No. 4 or 5. His career FG% is below 40%, so after the game 4 hot shooting, it's normal to have an off night for him. Lewis was cold tonight as well, but given his big shots after big shots in the playoffs, nothing really that surprising, and he wasn't forcing it either.

Hedu actually had a great all around game with 10-18 shooting and 7-9 free throws. Lee was contributing and Pietrus is very impressive as usual. DH12 is delivering, although his running hook is actually running 5 steps and throwing up an ugly hook prayer, he did make his presence felt inside. Yes, he could have got the ball more, but foul trouble stopped him being a big factor in the 4th.

There are questionable calls at both sides. I wouldn't say all the fouls on James were phantom calls. DH12 was complaining, but he never jumps straight up with arms straight. Reggie Miller was on and on about Verajao's acting, but DH12 did stick out his elbow. Look how he used his left arm fully extended out to hold Verajao back from fronting, do you think refs would let Yao do the same thing?

It's playoffs, as you said. Two teams are getting at each other. Magic does have better overall talent and much more balanced team. But Cavs are at home and they have LeBron. For the first time in the series, he got lots of support from other players, even from the bench. So it's more of Cavs beating the Magic, instead of Magic playing bad or Rafer killing them.

I am too tired of the non-stop King or Chosen One or Witness reference shoving down my throat by the bangwagoner media. But I just have respect for LeBron, as a player. He is special and amazing.
