  • Thank you Eddie!
Is this what hell is like?  The most insufferable city in the world with its team of fakers walks to a title thanks to Stern secretly moving Gasol to LA last year and strange injuries and chokes taking out three better teams?  I'd take the Lebron/Kobe hype any day of the week if it meant that those phonies in LA didn't get a title.

Well I'm pretty convinced the Lakers are winning the chip this year.

Too bad.

Quickly now, on the top of everyone's head, Is there any team in recent NBA Finals history under the 2-3-2 format that a team leading 2-0 with HC advantage still managed to lose in 7 game series?......Im trying to think of one but can't.

HA HA.....ooops, my bad that was just 3 yrs ago, guess I wasn't paying much attention to that Finals series .

So I guess everthings not lost yet for these Magic, as I have yet to see the self proclaimed Superman D. Howard go off in this series so there is still hope I guess but if they lose game 3, then it is definitley over...If the Magic can somehow win all three in Orlando, then I can still say they can beat the Fakers in Staples center...Its difficult but doable.

Very frustrating loss for Orlando... Lee missed two key layups at the end of regulation and then the turnovers killed the Magic in overtime. 20 turnovers for a game won't help you to win the game... too bad even their hot shooting (which was finally back) didn't help them to get the win. Rashard Lewis was great.

Now Orlando has to win the 3 next games at home in order to win the championship. It will be tough and it would have been way better to come up in Orlando tied 1-1 but these Finals are far from over and I still like the Magic chances.

Can someone answer this?  Where the heck was Anthony Johnson? And how come Reddick got run over him?  :-\ Johnson played so well, even at times better than Rafer, earlier in the playoffs.

I think it was for defensive purposes. I don't think Van Gundy liked how Raefer/Jameer were playing defense. We all saw Redick playing some solid D during the C's series. Plus he has better size than any of the Orlando point guards.

Johnson was completely cold since he hasn't been playing much, so I don't think Van Gundy wanted to put him in at that spot.

The Magic don't have DWade and all his phantom fouls to bail them out.  The Magic got hot at just the right time to knowck out the Celtics and the Cavs and are now playing more like they should have been throughout the playoffs
