OF ALL TIME.
 
PERIOD.
 
ive been watching basketball for 20+ years and never...ever....have i seen a team that just drains 3's soo consistantly and so effortlessly.  Its almost annoying to watch. 
 
arent the cavs supposed to be the best defensive team in the league?  This is pathetic. 
 
What gets me even more mad...Im from boston, and probably the biggest celtics fan on planet earth.  I was actually at game 7 against orlando a few weeks ago....and i know if the celtics won that game....theyd EASILY beat this pathetic cavs team and be in the finals with the lakers where the rightfully belong.
 
and yea...im on the cavs tonight obviously....no bashing...congrats orlando backers....im just PISSED.

It pisses me off that they never miss 3's either it just seems like its a video game programmed to cheat.

I agree, its as if they are making a mockery of the game. Do they increase the size of the ring where they are shooting to.

They are comfortable making the 3's this playoffs. And they are a great shooting team.

This will continue in the NBA Finals (for people thinking it will stop.....JUST STOP IT)

This is part of their game, it has been part of their game since day 1, and people need to understand this.

easy their tex, just because they can make wide open 3's because the cavs D can't rotate fast enough don't get crazy...I know when i think of the greatest shooting team of all time I think of.....alston, turk, lewis, pietrus........on paper since the LAL give up the highest % of 3 pointers in the league you would think this would continue...personally I could care less about who wins but LAL in 5 wouldn't surprise me.

La in 6 ... i think
orlando is a fantastic three point shooting team...
 
they pretty much live n die by the three, cause i think that if they were not hitting them 3's the way they were, clevland would have won this series...
the 3's killed cavs softly

where was ray allen in that series?   thats right he could not stop being dominated by lee.....

Your celtics were  done once garnett went down.    They got every call in the world much like the early cavs games and the fact is that orlando still  won.

I kept waiting for their outside shooting to get cold so the cavs could steal a game and it never happened..... since game 6 of the celtics series, they have been shooting un-real..... they have a real punchers chance against the lakers if they keep hit threes at this rate.....

The cavs have a very good defense.....  BUT the orlando offense was better!  Their spacing and excellent ball rotation got them a ton of good looks..... and with Dwight Howards new found soft inside touch, they will continue to get wide open looks on the outside against the lakers......

By the way, Cleveland was the best defensive team in regular season defending 3's. (Opponents shot 33.3%)

Orlando n#2....and Lakers n#3.

Orlando shot 24-58 (41.4%) from 3's in regular season. So, Lakers couldn't stop them either.

NBA Finals are going to be great.

Can't wait for Thursday.

I think Magic will steal 1 game from LA of the first two home games. Here's to my wishful thinking.

Greatest shooting team of all time??  Have you ever watched the Larry Bird teams with Ainge and Paxon?  Seattle team with Dale Ellis, Xman and Tom Chambers??  And that was when they played real defense, not the flopping soccer type joke defenses they play now.
