Magic have dominated this entire game and are leading 61-50 at the half. This is going to be a very interesting second half, hopefully the Magic won't blow this lead and can prevent the Lakers from going on a big run.
Kobe vs Tmac matchup isn't even close. Tmac has 21 and Kobe has 1. ZAZA played a min! Hopefully we will put him in more the 2nd half, who better to gain experience against, then Shaq? Juwan's played great 14 pts on 6-8 shooting. I'm still sticking by my prediction of Lakers winning by 20, because we normally collapse. We're not going to shoot 57% the whole game.
3rd quarter is over, Magic are still dominating 88-73. T-Mac can taste this win, I truly believe the Magic will be able to hang on in the 4th quarter and just remain constant by trading bucket for bucket and pull off a W.
The 4th quarter is going to be interesting because Phil Jackson has finally decided to let Kobe defend Mcgrady...T-Mac has been ripping up Fox and Deavan George pretty good... Magic up by 11 with about 9 minutes left of so...
4:30 left in the game and a timeout was called. The Lakers tried to put on a run with Kobe's hot shooting, but they just CAN'T get any defensive stops, and when they do they'll give up an offensive rebound. Lakers are playing horrendous defense, Magic deserve to win this one, score is currently 100-90 and unless Kobe starts going crazy from downtown I think this one is going to the Magic...
Why the hell did Kobe wait so long before he decided he wanted to play...He has 33 in the 2nd half so far (22 in the 4th)...Lakers down 2
Wow, the Mailman just got hammered on that play, thankfully the refs are blind . Game is tied at 102 and the Magic took a timeout with 1.5 seconds left on the clock... hopefully they'll be able to pull off the win, i'm too tired to stay up for OT .
o damn, magic can't win against the big la, tied at 102... kobe and tracy play a one-on-one game tonight
OH MY GOD!!!! T-Mac just blindly threw the ball up sideways with one hand and banked it off the glass and went in, too bad it didn't count. Either way, it should have been a foul because Payton and Shaq were physically holding his arms down so he couldn't even get a clean shot off. T-Mac has 5 fouls, hopefully he'll be able to survive this OT period and not foul out.
mann..this sucks. i cant watch it...TNT bastards. they should have hosted this game instead of the sorry game warriors and spurs are giving...i cant beleive im missing one of the most exciting games of the season... Hope orlando pulls out..
Wow, what a BS ending. Score was tied at 110 with 2 minutes left, GP hit a huge 3 to put the Lakers up 113-110, each team had a couple of stops, with about 30 seconds left T-Lue lost his handle and the ball rolled out of bounds. The Magic got another stop and just couldn't hit a 3 to tie the game, Lakers win it 113-110. The Magic played so hard the entire game, this one really hurts. If it wasn't for Kobe, the Magic would have probably blown out the Lakers, yes I know it's hard to believe. I hate Kobe...

Deshawn Stevenson was awesome tonites, he created a ton of second opportunities....Howard shot the ball well too...
T-mac was fouled by kobe so many dam times in the 4th and ot it isn't even funny. The last play of the 4th qt shaq and gp are there holding down t-mac's arm in front of the ref that was BS.The magic should of had 2.5 secs instead of 1.8 at the end when t-mac hit the shot. Lue was just horrible. Oh well another loss.
Damm. i didnt watch teh game...oh well. Tmac will always be better (...he does carry his teamm..leads the nba in scoring...and does off the glass pass dunk in all star games )

He actually guarded T-Mac btw, all T-Mac guarded all game was the old G.P.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting notMuchgame:</div><div class="quote_post">Actually, he only guarded T-mac at the end of the 3rd and on....</div> Well that makes it even better for my case, McGrady tore us up in the first half, and then kind of cooled down during the 3rd.
