I was hoping for cavalier vs nuggets cause i don't like the lakers and for some reason don't like the magic either.
But if i had to choose from the two, i'd want Magic to win. For the simple fact that Kobe needs to realize that Shaq was the backbone of the team when they won 3 rings and not him.

My sentiments, exactly. I told my husband as much this evening while we were watching the game and he gives me this "what the frig" look. I can't stand the guy. Kobe, that is. I loves me hubbie.

Lakers games are rigged. The hoops are actually current-carrying wire loops which are intermittently turned on and off when the ball comes close. This creates a magnetic field, which...
...no, the refs definitely call in favor of the Lakers though. Gasol and Bryant get way too many freebies.
On a side note, anyone else notice Bryant's new "intense" look? The one with the protruding lower jawline? Lol.

The Magic are frighteningly underrated. Casual fans who underrate the Magic are delusional.

i am rooting for the magic as well.
but the excess of foul calls in the NBA is very frustrating. the constant whistle-blowing kills the game for me. i would like to see much fewer foul calls.
and i am sick to death of people intentionally drawing fouls. i guess it is how good players win games, but to me it's bullshit. i am watching because i want to see people play basketball and win through skill, not this childish foul-drawing shit.

This is why college ball is so much more exciting to watch. Winning isn't about a paycheck; it's all about glory.

Van Dumby is a horrible coach. Why the guy who's drawing a double team everytime he catches the ball doesn't touch the ball for the last 3 mins of OT is beyond me...

Yeah, Courtney Lee blew 2 layups down the stretch in the 4th quarter. One of them (the one at the buzzer) was a lot easier than the other one (over Odom). But hey, the last possession the Lakers had in the 4th, they could have won the game if Kobe had kicked it out to a wide-open Trevor Ariza after being double-teamed. But instead Bryant decided to shoot and was stuffed by Turkoglu.
So while someone could have said the Magic could have won if Lee made his layup, it's also true the Lakers could have won if Kobe passed the ball out to Ariza.
Interesting . . . So you're equating the difficulty of finishing an open layup to that of making three point shot with someone closing out on you? There's a reason why you awarded three points for one shot and two for the other.
I have a saying: The road untaken is the road unknown. In other words, there are a lot of ifs with regard to Kobe making a pass in that situation. However, there's only two variables that I'm aware of with regard to the rookie making an open layup from a distance of about six inches.
