Now give Lebron 5 or 6 years to work on his footwork, jumpshot, and maturity. THEN he'll be a monster. Right now he's just a young guy with an IMMENSE amount of talent and ability. If he's willing ro REALLY work at it he could someday be firmly in the middle of the argument for the best player of all time. I do think that his initial learning curve is steeper then Kobe's was though.

I DEFINITELY see Dwight playing sloppy. He keeps the ball way too low and the little guards are picking his pocket consistently. That is a MAJOR problem that needs to be addressed. I have no doubt that he'll improve that throughout his career.

I honestly expect tonight to be the one and only game that the Magic win in this series. We shall see........

Is it too selfish for me to want LA to drop 2 games in Orlando? I kind of want to be at STAPLES Center next Tuesday
for a title-clinching Game 6...

aziankingz · 06-09-2009, 06:02 PM

^ hahahaha

anyone watch the pregame national anthem from that little girl? - it was quite annoying..

ALTRNTV · 06-09-2009, 07:01 PM

Ok. With that awful national anthem and Orlando pre-game, I want a sweep.

cxlo8331 · 06-09-2009, 07:01 PM

Here we go!

I was actually on IM with my girlfriend (since AkademikONE was away - fucker) when it happened... I was HOPING she would fuck up, which she did several times. My girlfriend, half Puerto Rican and fluent in Spanish, had no retort when I opined that the little girl's first language was Spanish or Portuguese.

I laughed hard.

No more discussion of that, the Lakers have a game 3 to lose.
Yes, I am a fan, and yes I conceded 2 losses in this series.

ALTRNTV · 06-09-2009, 07:27 PM

Sorry PHLIP, I was with my other boyfriend.

With the way LA is playing so far, I'll have to hold back on the LA in 6 comments...

aziankingz · 06-09-2009, 07:39 PM

lol at that nike commercial

97nismo · 06-09-2009, 07:53 PM

Its going to be a 4 game sweep

cxlo8331 · 06-09-2009, 08:36 PM

WTF??? 75% shooting?

kobe was going off.

hopefully, the lakers can adjust and play better defense.

SimpleSexy180 · 06-09-2009, 09:57 PM

fuck. just barely.

if only gasol called a timeout instead.

oh well. game 4 thursday!

ALTRNTV · 06-09-2009, 10:01 PM

As bad as LA played, and as good as Orlando played, LA only lost by 4. I'll take that. It was LA's game to take,
but Orlando just made better plays down the stretch.

qwikspool · 06-09-2009, 10:04 PM

i knew it that magic is going to win tonight. oh well. lakers should have the win on game 4 and 5. good game.

cxlo8331 · 06-09-2009, 10:04 PM

^^ YUP
oh well, i expected orlando to win this game.
surprised they shot so well but only one by 4
lakers will still steal on in orlando
missed free throws killed it.

*revat619* · 06-09-2009, 10:04 PM

That's probably the best basketball the magic could have possibly played, Kobe missed a lot of free throws which is STUPID RARE and they only won by 4. It sucks we lost, but hey the magic were supposed to win this one. Good game Orlando.

Can't wait for game 4!!!

I LUV MY S13 · 06-09-2009, 10:05 PM

its all part of the plan to win the championship at home haha

94cc0rd · 06-09-2009, 10:07 PM

haha so sad.. i didn't even pay attention to the game until like 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter cuz i thought they would lose..

turned out to be quite an exciting game...

and yeaa wtf was up with kobe missing 5 free throws huh? lol

aziankingz · 06-09-2009, 10:12 PM

ALTRNTV · 06-09-2009, 10:15 PM

Laker loss tonight is keeping my hot date with the STAPLES Center alive next Tuesday for Game 6!

That's the thing. They shoot an amazing record-breaking percent, but still needed very UNCHARACTERISTIC
missed FT's by Kobe and turnovers for them to only win by 4. That's not a good thing.

s13_redSILVIA · 06-09-2009, 10:16 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

it was a good game though.

That's exactly what I was just thinking...

And NO i do not think the Lakers are trying to "throw" 2 games in Orlando to win the Finals at home... They are trying to get this shit over with and be champions...

but yea... Seeing the way the Lakers played this game and losing only by 4... I can see this ending in 5... but I still stick with my prediction of Lakers in 6.

drift freaq · 06-09-2009, 10:47 PM

Well I would say Orlando won this game because they played well. I will also say a lot of people expected LA to toss this game just because they could, even though they screwed up a bit they still played and kept it close. Overall an exciting game because of that.

articdragon192 · 06-09-2009, 10:54 PM

Very exciting game. And shooting records don't get you rings. 4 wins in the Finals get you rings. Orlando can get all the shooting records it wants. We just want a Ring!

They played an exceptional game, anything they threw up... went in. With that said, I don't think
they can play another game like this for the remainder of the series.

dynamicck · 06-09-2009, 11:38 PM

I don't get why they benched Kobe after the 1st qtr?
Straight heat check!

It's all good, Phil Jackson has never lost a series after winning the first game.

That's what i was gonna say. I don't think Orlando has another game like this for the rest of the series. Most of us have been saying Lakers will take it in 5.
