Everyone keeps saying that they can't match the shooting performance so they won't win. I don't think they have to. They just have to play better defense.

Torkoglu is a damn good player, always thought he was underrated
He quietly puts up 15-7-7 every night. Every time I watch him play I wonder why the Kings let him go.
He was a great 6th man for those good Kings teams
Torkoglu is money...love him.
yeah , surprisingly good
Not looking like it right now.
They are down by 5 in the first quarter
Laker frontcourt all in foul trouble. Very fortunate to be down 4 right now. Can't see how Orlando will lose this from here.
Close to being over this, so may the series.

its only a 7 point lead....looooong way to go
11 points now. Lakers don't have the heart imo to comeback.
If the Magic had got that shot at the end of game two they would have won the series with ease.
How many teams have blown a 2-0 lead in the finals?
Lakers down by 12 at half time.
They're just about done I say.

They seem to let their heads drop very easily. Damned shame the Magic couldn't sneak game two. This would have been over in Orlando.
Yeah I noticed v the Nuggets, they more often than not dont play to their ability, as they showed in Games 5,6 v the Nggs and Game 1 v the Magic they are a class of their own, but their second and third most importnat players Pau and Odom are fecking fickle cowards

one point in it now.
What a joke that foul call on Bynum was
refs are cnuts today , that was nothing
Howards offensive rebounds kill my nerves , and Odom should shoot from distance more often
Magic looking down and out now. Amazing how things change around.
Good God, Turkoglu.
OT. Who's got this one?
Lakers will win, Magic are choking this game. Big lead at the half, missed FTs to kill the game and then missed the chance to win in the dieing seconds.
They don't deserve to win.
They don't deserve to win.
refs a cnut for sure , was foul at kobe
yeah baby
yes like Kobe is a fecking saint...that elbow was a disgrace.
Calls were definitely going towards Orlando in that game. The Kobe elbow no call just evened things out. Orlando blew it.
Such fine margins between winning and losing with loads of 'could haves'. However, one moment does stand out for me: Howard missing those two free throws.
Magic
How do you lose that game?

Typical
Some of you in this thread have egg on your face today.
From Orlando should be up 3-1/winning the series to the possibility LAL will close it out in five or six.

LOL at Tabata for making himself look like a fool, again
You reckon Kobe just ruins himself in Game 5, just puts ut all on the line and will be tired as feck at the end.
The series is over, no way back for the Magic.
I have a taunt about Derek Fisher. It's pretty bad, like Hillsborough bad. Like worse than calling Kobe the rapist (which I do without any qualms.)
Ok, don't say I didn't warn you.
After Fisher hits a three pointer, you hold up your hand over one eye and say, "Did his daughter see it? Did his daughter see it?"
