I don't like not finishing what I have started so while I have time heres Game 6 in the Eastern Conference finals between the Magic and Cavs in what has been a great Series of games so far.

Either this Series will end tonight or we'll be heading back to Ohio to watch a Game 7 and to be honest about it this Series deserves that result as it has been action packed and dramatic viewing for all who are interested in it...

The Magic if they lose tonight will have to look back on chances lost so fat in these 5 games,Games 1 through to 4 and the Magic should have finished this Series off but now a win fro the Cavs tonight who are getting better and better with each passing game and they will have to return to Cleveland and it will not be easy to advance from there for sure,Games 4 and 5 and the Cavs have found something that challenges the Magic and that's scoring points and trying to put this Magic side under pressure,there have been so many comebacks in this series so of games so far and as such neither side is really safe in these games,the Magic have come back in every game to tie the matches up and the cavs are now doing the same,almost every game the cavs have started the better and have driven the totals up but the second halves of these games have belonged to the Magic for sure,but all that changed in Game 5 with the Cavs being the stronger in the 4th quarter this time around and even i Game 4 they managed to hang with the Magic and force the issue,so what has changed really in the last tow games,not much really apart from the fact that the Cavs are playing better and are now getting good phases of play from all their players not just Le Bron,Wiliams has come to the party,Big Z,Vearajao and Wallace have made Howards job more difficult and it is beginning to show,however both sides on their day are very hard to beat and both sides have shown an ability to get the best out of themselves and now with the Cavs lifting game after game this game tonight is by no means a done deal and the Cavs have fought hard and are now within touch of this Magic side for sure.

I'm not keen on picking a winner but I am keen again on the Total,the Magic love the 3 and as such the Cavs are never safe from them having had big leads and letting them slip time and time again so the Cavs have been doing their best to drive these totals up wards to try and put the Magic under pressure to perform and you would have to say that it is working,the last 2 games and the Magic have lost one the last one and were taken to OT in the other,the Last two games the Cavs have improved in their shooting with Game 4 in Orlando being the start of it with them shooting at 44% and now in Game 5 they had their best offensive output hitting for the field at 50% and for the first time this series making more 3 point shots than the Magic did,you can see the cavs trying to play a better offensive game and if they can keep that up I am not writing them off here in tonight's game at all.

For me the winner of this game could go either way and I am once again left thinking that the Total is the best way to go in this game,the Cavs cannot hold onto a lead and right now neither can the Magic,this game like the other 5 will be close and could go either way,what the Cavs have been doing appears to be working so expect more of the same today and look for this game to go over and for the winner to be????....Good Luck.
