Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-0) This would have been a different game if we had made free throws.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-0) ^ Yeah I know. Could have possibly been an easy win.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-0) sure as shit looks like so, but do not turn TVs off until there's less than 0.4 to play
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-0) 0.2 - Fisher must be 2 times faster than years ago
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-0) Lakers would need to do, imo, have a guy at the top of the key, throw it up, and have a guy (probably Gasol) do a volleyball set, and hope you get fouled and it goes in.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-0) What was that? We had three chances to tie it up. FREE THROWS. Hm... whatever, would have been stunned if we had won. Lets get the next one.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-0) Man this one tonight hurt. Lakers definately lost this game as opposed to the Magic winning it. But cheer up, the Melanie Collins thread is still up for viewing. I'll be hangin out there if anyone needs me.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-0) Lakers winning game 4, Magic can't even beat us when they're playing good. Kobe missing FT's? You know he's going to come back the next game and tourch them. Not worried at all. Let the Magic fans celebrate a win.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-1) Magic played their best today, could barely beat us. Lakers did everything they could to lose this one. Kobe was horrible down the stretch, and his free throw shooting was an anomaly. Lakers haven't even practiced since Game 2, so that probably effected the way they played. I'm disappointed, but at the same time, keeping it all in perspective, I didn't expect a sweep. All I want is for us to win 1 on the road, and that's definitely do-able. Can't wait for Game 4.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-1) Shaq must be pissed that Dwight has achieved more in his first finals trip than he did.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-1) I expected a 6 game series before it all began. Thought Orlando was our toughest matchup, but game 1 made me change my mind. Game 2 was eh, but never did I expect us to sweep the series. Again, we did our part. We won 2 at home. Now all we have to do is win one in Orlando and we accomplish our goal. Bring the series back home and win it there. Obviously finish them off as quickly as possible, but I'm not too worried. Disappointed by the loss? Yeah. But it took their best effort, and one of our worst for them to barely squeak by with a win. Not worried.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-1) Orlando shot extremely well (62.5 to our 51.3%), moved the ball more (23 to 16), and we were horrendous from the line (ehem ehem Kobe 5-10), yet we just lost by a nail... We should get game 4.
Re: NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Magic (Lakers lead 2-1) Probably not. His 2nd,3rd and 4th trips went pretty well. 75% in first 4. 66% overall is nice. He can rest on that nicely.
