Re: Series could easily be 3-1 Magic...
C'mon Flamingo, you gonna let your Lakers homerism blind you?
Good example of why I'm not a Lakers fan, the fans are blinded by homerism.. Like in the Kings series back in the day, can't find one Laker fan who admitted that series was fixed even though it was the most obvious shit in decades.

Re: Series could easily be 3-1 Magic...
they wasted a few opportunities....but that is what makes the lakers championship calibur....you give them a window and they take advantage of it.....cleveland had the same chances, but instead they gave games away to the magic.
talent wise, not much separation in these teams....but this is the same thing they said about jordan, he was a competitor and made his team win every time...
...don't be fooled, jordan was THE MAN, but it wasn't him that made the big shots (there was one that they keep showing where he jumps and pumps fist vs. Jazz)....it was the Steve Kerr, BJ Armstrong, Tony Kukoc, Craig Hodges and such making the big ones....Jordan was the competitor that put them in position to win and made sure they seized the moment....kind of like Kobe

Just like it could easily be Lakers 3-1 which it is. The better team wins those games, and that's what has happened..

Could be 3-1...at the same time if Kobe doesn't miss half his FTs in game 3 it could be over right now.

Gyno is right. 2 OT games and Lakers win them both. A split there and it is 2-2. I have the Lakers for the finals but had Orlando last night agaisnt the world. 87-82 orlando LATE and they blew it. It does often come down to making plays. Lakers have and orlando has not.

Did the scorekeeper mess up? How did the better team not win?
It's the NBA. It comes down the last couple mins and who steps up and makes the big plays. Just because the Magic had the nice lead at halftime doesn't make them the better team.

Good points VD
Bottom line is they have played 4--games & Lakers have won (3) does not matter how, why, if this, if that, bottom line is 3 of 4 went to the Lakers, as SICK as that game last night made me . . . MAGIC had the same 5 mins of Opportunity to win in OT or Perhaps MAKE a FT
Can assure you "WE" were pulling for MAGIC as much as anyone Last night but bottom line/score = 99-91 LAK

Re: Series could easily be 3-1 Magic...
a lot of laker homers/backers on this site have a really hard time with hypotheticals.
magic should be up 3 games to 1 right now. two bad bounces of the ball are the difference in the series (lee's miss in g2 and dwight's ft falling off the rim last night). two bad bounces/rolls, that's the difference.
the lakers are not clearly the better team and/or clearly deserving of the wins they got. anybody that seriously says such a thing is a fucking dolt.

Re: Series could easily be 3-1 Magic...
Exactly. i couldnt careless about these two teams but if people couldn't see the one sided calls against the Lakers last night then they are not looking close enuf. These two teams are head and shoulders different in talent. Orlando could be the dumbest team in the history of sports with that jackass center leading the pack. How many times is he gonna goaltend till he realizes it is goaltending? How many times will he block a shot out of bounds instead of to a teammate? How many times is this jackass gonna get the ball low and refuse to go up and slam it but dick around with it and lose it? How many times when he has a slam he lays up one of his bricks? I said he was overrated in the beginning of the playoff and then slacked off a bit but he is way to overrated for my taste. Maybe he needs to forget about the slamdunk contest and use this time working on his game. Ewing should be fired because if u are there to teach someone and the guy u are teaching makes mistake after mistake, then u need to go. all u need is a decent big guy against him and he is neutralized. These rat fukin refs won't even let Bynum play because they know Howard will play even worse. I wasn't a big fan of Shaq and thought he got away with murder down low but at least Shaq worked on his game. This nitwit makes the same mistake over and over again. Somebody for goodness sakes bring him in the film room and point this stuff out. It is embarrassing. This team is lucky to have one win.

The problem with "HYPOTHETICALS" is this, Hypothetically speaking we should have GOT "RICH" last night as BOOKMAKERS with entire world "ON" LAKERS +2.5 LAKERS +2 LAKERS +1.5 AND yes BFC closed LAKERS +1 ..........not to mention all Moneyline Lakers AND 2nd--HF's
The problem I have with Hypotheticals, is they don't pay my Bills or my clients . . . . i AM NOT LAKERS FAN but fact Remains
LAKERS 3
MAGIC 1
If, as you say MAGIC are so much Better they will have no Problem winning next 3 games & winning the Title . . . I just do NOT see how the MAGIC can be the BETTER team . . . Better teams FIND way to WIN, MAGIC Find ways to LOSE . . . but, that's Just my Opinion, Maybe I'm one of the "Homers" you speak of above . . . .

howard was one block away from a triple-double.
and these teams are clearly *not* "head and shoulders different in talent". that's just an assinine statement. it really, really is.
posts like the one above should get someone banned quicker than pics of the shrink committing various acts of sodomy on small rodents. just a stupid post.

Re: Series could easily be 3-1 Magic...
of course they don't pay the bills you dimwit. gyno was making a very accurate comment about this series, one that i think was intended to make people re-think the escalating laker circle-jerk that is now well underway. the magic very easily could be up 3 games to 1. this is fact. this is common sense. there is no way to argue this simple statement that gyno made, one can only responsd argumentatively to it with a correlated statement but one that has no bearing whatsoever on the truth of gyno's observation.
and i haven't said the magic are "so much better". i've said they're just as talented. big difference.
wasted opportunities by the magic have cost them the series. the lakers haven't proven to me that they're clearly the better team, just that they're the luckier/more clutch team this series.

Re: Series could easily be 3-1 Magic...
did dwight not get raped when he got the ball down low? a lot of those could/should have been intentionals and they weren't called.
did kobe not throw an elbow that easily could have been called an offensive if not flagrant foul?
the magic made a clear effort to not foul the shooter in the 4th quarter. look at pietrus just keeping his hands down on that long kobe 2.
you're an idiot anyway, there's no reason to argue this with you further. dwight howard is 23, almost had a triple double, and just set the record for most blocks in a finals game. and yet you say he sucks, is overrated, etc. your opinion on this series is about as useful as the dump i just took.

Re: Series could easily be 3-1 Magic...
yeah triple doubles are not that hard to get when all three big men on the other side had five fouls and two of them had the five fouls early. Imagine that. Kinda ties ur hands on how to play. I bet Orlando last night and every time they threw it in to Howard i had to turn my head. It is flat out embarrassing the way he turns the ball over and it is the same way each and every time.

you got burned by a bad collapse and you're bitter about it. those two missed free throws by dwight had you absolutely fuming (hey, me too, but as a fan, not a bettor) and now you're venting it off in this thread.

Only 2 reasons the Lakers are the better team and will win the Championship...
Phil Jackson is the better coach...the Orlando coach has made many dumb mistakes..
Lakers have the best player on the court...Kobe Bryant
Dwight Howard needs to work on his game over the summer...he is a stud and I hope he realizes that you can't win on brute strength alone...

Re: Series could easily be 3-1 Magic...
obviously dwight needs to continue working on his game. the kid is only 23. if he ever develops half the touch of timmy duncan he'll be the best center to ever play the game (fwiw though, i don't think he will...and i say that as a huge dwight/magic fan).
what's really frustrating to watch though, as a magic fan, is that dwight's little running jump hook was very effective in the regular season. his percentage for that shot has dropped off quite a bit in the playoffs and i'm not sure why. inexperience, most likely.

Re: Series could easily be 3-1 Magic...
magic are not the better team. could they be up 3-1? of coarse, they aren't and that is why they are not the better team. better team would have come up clutch and made the plays to win. howard misses BOTH free throws that would have won the game. the guy just had to hit ONE and he couldn't. fisher has one shot to hit a deep three to tie and he makes it. that is why the lakers are better. a guy most on this board say sucks, and shouldn't even be starting comes up huge TWICE with deep threes in the finals seconds, and superman himself cant hit a damn free throw to win the game.
lakers are definitely the better team. kobe hasn't even been that good at all in this series and they are still up 3-1 and orlando has really 0 chance of winning this series.
doesn't matter what people will want to say. lakers will be the champions once again and we all know who of these two has a better chance of being back next year.
(guarantee also someone will say im a lakers fan, when just a coule weeks ago people say i was a lakers 'hater' because i say lebron is better than kobe, which he is):LMAO
