GO Magic, make a series of this.
Hey, The Pens did the same thing to the Wings.

WOW!!! Did not see the game. According to i2onnel Kobe does not miss when the games on the line, only King James.

Rafer played awesome! i knew that Orlando would wake up once they got their point guard situation handled. if i were Orlando in the off season i would trade Jameer Nelson to the Knicks and get kryptonate!!!!!! Howard and Nate are already buddies and Jameer would help the knicks tremendously. Rafer is here to stay for Orlando.

i find watching games a little stressful these days. I think the refs are just plain incompetent. There's no consistency whatsoever.

A ref that's assigned in the baseline of team A, will cover the 3pt line on the other end of the floor. So if he calls it a little tight, and then his counter part (who's assigned in the baseline of Team B and 3pt line of team A) lets the players bang, there's the problem right there.

Slashing players are being bailed out (Kobe, LBJ, Wade), while big men have a hard time protecting the rim on defense, and being called for offensive fouls on offense.

Thank you....remember Van Gundy (Jeff) getting fined I think 25k?? for complaining Yao gets all these fouls and non-calls just cause he's a big guy??

Bebot · 11 June 2009, 06:49 AM

This is why I think LA Lakers are 0-7 on the road in their last 7 games of the finals. They don't have the ref's on their side.

tszyu#1 · 12 June 2009, 07:03 AM

Orlando giving 2 tonight, -130....I'm predicting a 15-18 pt blowout...Howard will come to life as well as Hedo

cowincanada · 12 June 2009, 01:51 PM

this game is gonna give me a heart attack!

Bebot · 12 June 2009, 02:02 PM

I am not an Orlanda fan, I just don't want Lakers to win. I want Orlando players to win, but the Orlando coaching staff doesn't desrve to win this game. They have the players but they are not being coached well.

Bebot · 12 June 2009, 02:03 PM

Why is Nelson in the game and what was he thinking? Fisher can't make that shot. DUM! Very DUM.

cowincanada · 12 June 2009, 02:07 PM

dwight only needed 1 ft to win the game for orlando in regulation

Now I remember why I go in phases on watching the NBA.
I HATE the officiating. Both ways.
How can a player ( Kobe ) throw an elbow like that near the end of overtime , NO CALL, and it really cost the Magic the game , and possibly the series.
This isn't the first time.
Just about every other contact sport ( hockey etc) head shots are a no no, but BB, go away & smake the other dude with you elbow ( aka UFC) and it's okay.
That's it for me for a few more years.
oh, and Part II, the announcers are ALWAY so pro LA, they could be down by 30 & all you hear about is how awesome they are.

Maybe because it will be a crucial call. No wait a minute, maybe because it's Kobe Bryant and they (ref's) are afraid to make the call.

I don't why Nelson is in the game to begin with and then I have no idea what he was thinking being inside the 3 point line.

I think the officiating is horrendous in these finals and many fouls were not called on either team during the game. I go back to my earlier statement that the game is fixed!!!

I agree.

Orlando had like 14 free throws in the 4th.

Lakers had zero.

I agree.

NBA wants to fix this series and make it a long series.

The mighty Lakers are prevailing and showing fans that good conquers evil.

Love them Lakers.

It was Nelson who shoved his face at Kobe's elbow! Not intentional at all! What about the flagrant foul commited by Pietrus against Gasol? He should be suspended for this!

Yeah, Lakers wanted more than the Magic to win the Finals.

Omega_Precision · 12 June 2009, 02:40 PM

That was a very dangerous play.

Pau could have been seriously hurt....thank goodness he held the rim.

They should suspend the rest of the series and just give the Lakers those rings.

Yeah, I did not like that play. Even though I don't like the Lakers, Pau could have gotten hurt on that.

Reason why Orlando Magic doesn't deserve in any way to get a championship ring! Howard going gay on Kobe by hugging him!
