LAKERtown!!!!

Yes, it should be. Maybe the Magic will find some rhythm. I lost all confidence in them winning the series (haha, that was quick.. here's to being afairweather fan! woo hoo!) - but I'd like to see them at least when a few games!

And the back peddling begins..... Are you sure you aren't a cowboys fan??? <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_biglaugh.gif">

lol..im a laker hater, but also realistic (unless it comes to the Nuggs..lol) !

Congrats to the Magicfans. They played a great game. 75% shooting in the half, nice record!

That was a crazy half.. its amazing they shot that well, and still only barely had a lead.. Kobe for sure kept them in the game the first half!

And then he proceeded to kill them in the 2nd half. Worst 1/2 right behind the best 1/2 he's had this season. Sad really, but the Magic won. See yaThursday, and I don't think Kobe has another game that bad, Orlando can't top the last game, and that means.....

Orlando can't top that game? The only thing that Orlando had going for them was their shooting percentage and the fact that both teams had 13 turnoversinstead of the 20 vs. 12 (Magic and Lakers respectively) in game 2. The rest of the box score shows that Orlandos' numbers weren't all that great, andin some cases, even lower than their game 2 loss numbers.<br><br>Obviously it will be near impossible for Orlando to top that shooting percentage, but they can certainly do better in the rebounding and on the defensive end.Kobe had 31, in a poor performance, but the rest of the team played pretty well. They shot almost 6% better than they did in game 2.<br><br>As a side note, I think Van Gundy will be making a mistake if he tries to incorporate Nelson in to the game much more than he has. Alston got you to this pointafter performing quite nicely while Nelson was injured. Why mess with the chemistry? Nelson and Alston had the same number of turnovers, but Alston played 26more minutes and overall, looked a lot more confident.<br><br>A missed layup is the only thing for the Lakers being 1-2.<br><br>Mike<br>HWsMinis

Yup, gotta hand it to 'em - extremely well-played game! And the series is going exactly as I predicted so far - Lakers in first two, then Magic in theirfirst home game, then the Lakers to take the next two and the Championship. Kobe won't have another night like last night... And do you realize that hismissed FT's were the difference in the game? I think that's why he was hangin' his head so low afterwards...

Ya know you always hear that missed free throw by a star as the missing piece of the puzzle...... How many dunks, three point, lay ups and 10-foot shots weremissed by the Lakers and they were STILLthiscloseattheend? If they had made every shot, the Lakers would have had 220 points!! The Lakers ALWAYS go soft on thefirst away game, they ARE playing the Eastern Conference Champions and I didn't expect a sweep!!!!<br><br>I want this to go SEVEN because when it's over?? All I have to look forward to is the drone of baseball and my talk radio interrupted by some insipid fivehour game that ends 1-0........

Probably the deepest thought I'd ever seen from Chugger.<br>Has baseball started yet? Oh yeah, it has, I forgot I was offered tickets to the A's game on Memorial Day Weekend and passed before the question wascompleted...YAWWWWWWWWWWWN...<br>Last weekend I was channel surfing and there was a game on TV in the 18th inning...I'd rather be waterboarded than be at that train wreck...<br>
