Or if Orlando didn't turn the ball over 20 times, if Rafer didn't go 1-8, shot better from 3pt land, made a couple more foul shots, orthey played better D against Odom.

You can't blame it on Lee. He had a chance to win the game, a tough shot, he missed it, but the Magic put themselves in a hole well before that.

Stan also has to figure out some better rotations out there. Gortat needs to be in the game to grab rebounds when Bynum and Gasol are in there, Dwightcan't do it alone, Pietrus needs to stay out of foul trouble, Jameer still looks uncomfortable out there at times, there's a lot of adjustments thatneed to be made at home.
 
did they ever show a replay of this dunk?

Kobe can't even see his kids without people criticizing him

his family is always there after a game.
 
Thoughts on the game: Lakers for some reason doubled more in this game than the last game and it almost cost them. Magic hit two more of those open threesduring regulation, they win. Bad decision to start doubling all of a sudden. Magic had A LOT of open shots, and if they shoot like they did against Cleveland,Lakers would've easily lost.

The officiating was absolutely atrocious on both sides. I've seen people post about Orlando going to the line about as much as the Lakers, but, be smartpeople and take off your Lakers glasses. The Lakers got favorable calls for them at CRUCIAL parts of the game. Those fouls that they called for Kobe towardsthe end of regulation were terrible calls for a finals game. There were also a few loose ball fouls against the Magic that were terrible calls. It doesn'tmatter how many free throws are shot, it's when their shot, especially if the game is close.

At some point, NBA officiating has got to be addressed cause it is downright terrible. The whistle has decided way too many games this postseason. Magic fansshould be pissed cause the refs helped decide that game. The NBA has reared its ugly head early in this series. It's not looking good for the Magic.

um, if you watch that game on replay and the last 2 quarters (4th and OT) orlando just jacked up shot after shot.. i mean some were questionablecalls in favor of the lakers but we werent settling with jumpers and attacked the basket..

orlando shot freaking 30 3 pt attempts.. cmon now.. and they still had one less attempt from the FT line ..
 
We got lucky tonight... some of the threes that Orlando took were pretty wide open (Alston).

at Kobe cursing at the post game.

Good win nevertheless

All this laker/kobe hate is just gonna make this chip that much sweeter! Sad how some wish death on another man OVER A GAME that he/she has NOTHING to do with.I'm sorry but this person should be banned or suspended from S&T for life.

I don't know about any of you guys but I'm still in disbelief over Lee's shot at the end of regulation, it feels as if the Lakers lost.

I'd be more inclined to think it was a PR move if it was done on the court or out in the open. His wife and daughters greet him in the tunnelat EVERY home game.
 
Skip needs to step up for real. Dude has been horrible. Dwight needs to get going too. Dude is a turnover waiting to happen once he catches the ball down low.

Stan needs to shore up his lineups. No excuse to have Lee and Reddick getting so many mins together in the backcourt. Get a ball handler in there.

All in all, sure, there's a lot of factors you take in any win or loss, but, the bottomline is you're just not gonna get a better look than what Leehad. ..twice

Pass was a little long, but I still can't believe dude missed it. Maybe better off not trying to use glass there, because of the pass.
