Yeah that sentence wasn't polite.I just had a bad day,that's all.And i like Orlando Magic much.That wasn't a post to start a fan vs fan war.Sorry guys.How can i hate a player,when i do not know him personally? When you hate(!) a player because of his gamestyle,then it's plain stupid.

We were this (---------------------) fucking close to winning.

Great effort by the Magic though.

This is far from over.

looks like LA got this. I don't see LA losing 4 out of the next 5 possible games. Unless they go 3-0 at home, which I doubt. They have a slim chance though, but need Howard to score 20+ points to have a chance.

It was somewhat failing for the Magic not being able to take more control in the paint. Bynum kept picking up bad fouls and was in foul trouble almost all night long. Lukily, it turned out to be a good thing for the Lakers, since Odom was great on both ends of the floor. The game I thought was not too entertaining with so many crappy plays from both teams especially when you consider this is the finals.

Lee had the chance to redeem himself but he missed point-blank ! He ain't got no D and can't deliver a game-winner lay-in beautifully set by Stan . Shame :shake:

Don't be sure about this .

Welcome back Axel, Pdub's looking for you.

Not every rookie in the NBA playing in the Finals is named Magic Johnson you know.



Jack Nicholson's happy again.
Good effort on the part of the Magic. At least Kobe didn't drop 40 on them while only having one three-point attempt like he did in game one.

Wow, I admire Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu, you can't really leave them wide open unlike LeBron James or Sasha Vujacic.

What a miss by Lee. It's a shame really, this series could have went 1-1. Gotta give Lee a break though, he's still a rookie and a lot of pressure was on him on that play. It wasn't an easy alley-oop to sink either, his body was swinging behind the backboard but I think veterans in the NBA will be able to make that play. Experience is all this is about. Lee's inexperience caused him and the Magics that play.

Lewis seems to be extremely clutch with those turnaround threes. He's been hitting that shot in a lot of games lately.

It was a tight game but the Lakers got sort of lucky on this one. Still, a win is a win. (Y)

Goaltend that is.

Anyway that play was either done well that Lee just missed the bank or the Lakers read the offense poorly.

And there was another one earlier in the game that should have been called against Howard. Where his hand went up through the basket to block the shot. So the calls were a wash.

zzzz we should just start Odom....Bynum can come in as a sub for Gasol/Odom and dominate the Magic second unit instead of getting stupid fouls defending Dwight =.= Pau and Odom can do a good job on Howard so no problems there
