The Orlando Magic handed the Cleveland Cavaliers its first loss of the postseason and third loss at home this season in game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals; the Magic won 107-106. MVP Lebron James may be the best player in the league, but last night's loss to the Magic proves that even a King needs some support.James scored 49 of the Cavaliers 106 points, approximately 46 percent of the team's total points.

Will the Cavs win this series? I don't know. Though they had the best record in ...

The Debacle at the Q: ECF Game 1
As I literally floated down the steps from my seat at the Q, moments after Mo Williams swished a shot from the opposite 3 point line to beat the halftime buzzer, I had one thought in my head, which I should've known was the thought of doom:"I've never seen my team catch the breaks like this. I think we may be destined this year. (3 long buzzer beaters so far in the ...
