Not surprised the Magic beat the Cavs at home at all. Not too surprised the Magic won the series. Not surprised the Cavs had no answer for Dwight Howard in the paint, which led to the Magic lighting it up from 3 point land.
I am surprised the Magic bench dominated the Cav’s bench throughout the entire series. I am surprised Mo Williams didn’t torch the Magic guards like all guards have done this season. I’m surprised Stan Van Gundy made as many good adjustments as he did during the series.
But what really surprised me was how classless Lebron James was after it was all over. No shaking hands, no comments and no press conference. What a little bitch. I LIKED Lebron too and still think he’s an awesome player, but that was bad for the NBA and especially bad for all kids that look at Lebron James as a role model, which up until this point I thought he was doing very well. Sorry to say, but Lebron James is just like every other superstar when things don’t go his way. It had the same effect as John McConroe, but Lebron did it by not saying a word. It was something I expect from Stephon Marbury, Isiah Thomas or Kobe Bryant, but not Lebron. Even in the most brutal, mean, nasty, hateful playoffs on earth, the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, the players always shake hands at center ice.
I’m sure in a few days Lebron will come and out try to control the damage. Maybe Nike can do another stupid puppet commercial were Lebron puppet throws baby powder in the air and apologizes to NBA fans, Orlando Magic and to all the kids that look up to him.
Enough of Lebron, he’s gone and been put to the curb like the bitch he is. It’s time to focus on Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. I’ll say it now, I think the Magic will walk away with the title and be NBA champs, but I also think Kobe has much more desire to win than Lebron. You may laugh, but you’re probably the same fans that thought they would lose to the Cavs and how did that work out for you.
