Let's just say by missing 15 free throws as a team, the Magic made the advantage in foul calls mean just about nothing. It's called shooting yourself in the foot. But they're a young team and can get better. You can't just stroll into the finals and win without some heartbreak.
Orlando made a big mistake playing Jameer Nelson most of the 3rd and all of the 4th quarter of game 4. He's still not in midseason form. Why the fuck is he in there with the game on the line??? Fisher made him pay big-time for the cushions he was giving him from downtown. If Stan Van. knows what's good for him, he'll go with Rafer Alston the rest of the way, to give the Magic a shot at sending the series back to LA. If not, the Lakers will win the NBA title on Sunday (06/14/09).
My prediction was another lackluster performance by the Lakers on the road, failing to close out yet another opponent in a workmanlike fashion...they did not disappointment. I love my team, but if there is any team that could fuck this up, its them.
omg, these refs have to be the WORST ever. They are on the Magics' nuts big time. How bout that foul when D-fish hit Howard in the back, after Howard just shoved down Gasol. Where was the call on that?
The call never came, because it was in their pocket, just like the Magic and the NBA. Its about ratings and money. More people will tune in for a tightly contested 2-2 series on Sunday then will for a 3-1 series that then features the final two in LA. The refs tried to rig the Cleveland-Orlando series as well. Thank God they failed those two times.
The refs were in game 4 were totally on the Magics side.
How many times were the Magic players holding, pushing, and slapping peoples faces, and no calls less it was SO obvious.
The Lakers just do a little bump, and whistles were going off hard core!
Loved game 4, best playoff game i have seen this year.
BTW, i totaly agree, D.Howard just pushed Gasol out the way to get the position, Gasols goes flying, then when Fisher does small shove to stop Howard, pff foul.
wow you just felt what i was feeling. the magic were fouling the lakers sepecially pau and we didnt get the whistle. i think the whistles werent working when the magic were fouling. lol yeah man that was the best game
you guys are fuckin crazy. Pau, Lamar,Derek,and Jordan cant have good games when Kobe NEVER PASSES THE BALL. HE IS A BALLHOG. MAGIC WIN IT ALL. ONE MAN CANT BEAT A TEAM
Are you seriously going to say that? I mean really. If you actually watch the NBA this year, you would realize that Kobe passes the ball to his teammates a lot more than compared to a couple of years ago. I agree with the statement that when he's on fire, he's on fire. I'm also going to add that when Kobe is on fire, the remaining Lakers feed off of his intensity and play with a high level of intensity which led them to the 15th championship of the franchise. So dude get your facts straight FAG!
Actually considering the fact that averaged over 8 assists in the playoffs and finals, I would call that passing it a lot. At least for Kobe. So as to the first reply you got on here I agree with him. Because honestly you haven't been watching the NBA otherwise you would have seen that.
i knew that cuz i watched the playoffs. i think what your missing is just because a player averages a lot of assists doesnt mean they pass it a lot, it just means the few times they did pass it the person knocked down the shot. kobe still averaged 25+ shots per game
all these games have been close. its really hard to guess who is gonna win, but im choosing the lakers just because i think kobe is gonna pwn some noobs
Magic might win they've being down before. Remember The Magic shot well in game 3, I'll feel sorry for the Lakers if Orlando get their shooters heated. They 3 point for Orlando has been cold so don't count them out yet. Your talikng like this series is over, gets what it ain't over.
It's over now...thats what they get for cheating....the magic got 19 free throws in the 4th quarter and OT and the Lakers had none...it was Orlando's game to lose...they got it handed to them and still failed
What's over? Orlando beat themselves by not connecting the free throws. LA are only. Look Orlando is still a young team, everybody in the game has never been to the Finals before. I give them credit, Magic might not win this Finals but they already left a MARK against the Lakers, for most rebounds by a single player in the finals (Howard) and the Highest field goal percent in the NBA finals history. All this against the Lakers.
That's fine and dandy but that doesn't matter I'm pretty sure they would trade that in for a ring...all those records can be broken but you can't rewrite the history books of finals winners and losers. ANd that is magic. And your right the magic lost a game that was served to them on a silver platter and they failed. And that's coaching fault. You have two players that have played in the finals and on that won rings with the lakers (lue) and he sees no mins. Why is it so hard to admit the
Lakers are just better? They knew what it takes on this stage. They came out and got it done even against the worst officiating ever. I give credit to both sides. But NOBODY was gonna stop the Lakers this year on their way to their ultimate goal.
