Mark Jackson is openly rooting for the Lakers.

yea, what's up with that?

Howards foul is clearly worse than what Fisher is called for. Just because you're 7ft doesnt mean you can push more. Fisher just looked funnier being so small.

But they do really love LA. If it was the opposite - I dont think Mark brings up that point.

Well I think thats game.  Magic can't make their free throws, and you gotta give credit to LAs defense.  It's actually doing pretty well right now.

What makes it worse is that it was Derek Fisher.  Derek Fisher is not good anymore.  He really needs to go away.  His time is up as a good starting point guard in this league.

Refs are terrible.

Game over.

Good point.  And I think I read on hoopshype today that Orlando was going to extend SVG.  At least that's good news for the Celtics...

Magic will always feel robbed from this series. Except for Game 1 - the Lakers have gotten very luck. The media will say it's experience - but that's just not true.

Magic have no one to blame but themselves for this loss.  They cost themselves a chance at a championship.  Terrible defensive decisions down the stretch of this game and just overall very relaxed type of defending on shooters from Orlando.  Not getting up on shooters, not getting hands in faces, arms down.  Not good not good.

Also, all the turnovers they had, it's really a miracle they were able to be in this game in the first place.

Finally, free throws.  This was one of the worst free throw shooting teams in the league this year and I'm pretty sure the worst in the playoffs.  It hadn't really burned them at all in these playoffs...until tonight.  It was only a matter of time.

What a painful game to watch.  Orlando had this game in hand on multiple occasions and just let it go away.

Stan Van Gundy is a fool, and Hedo and Dwight choked big time at the free throw line.  Awful, just plain awful.
Never forget the Champs of '08, or the gutsy warriors of '10.
