Exactly my point. The Magic threw everything they had and some at the Lakers and they barely won. Kobe even had a horrible night at the stripe to boot. Any other team that puts on an offensive showcase like that has starters sitting in the 4th quarter.
I'm certainly not losing any sleep over this loss. I doubt the Lakers are either.

Would'a, could'a, should'a! It's not how it's how many! If you continue to wager in the years to come you'll certainly see your share of "if's" bad calls, dumb plays and everything else that goes with sports. Chances are you'll win some and lose some, it's unfortunate though that we only seem to remember the bad beats, and very few of the Lucky wins! Good Luck Thursday.
Don't worry bout him Dang. Remember Whateva believes Odom is the best player on the Lakers.
Kids like him ride the "special" bus so you can only go so far to help him. Other than that, he'll be forever stuck in the corner of the classroom wearing the helmet. Catch my drift?

WTF?
okay, first off it was orlando who took LA's best shot, and they won the game. just like they did during the regular season as they swept them. the magic are truly the better team and it showed last night. anyone who has been watching these first three games know that this was far and away the LAKERS's best performance yet..the only difference is that finally orlando came to play too..and the better team won.
to say that kobe had an off night is just absolutely absurd..some of the things he did in the first half were just superhuman. he was less of a factor in the second half because he had exhausted himself trying to will his team to victory against a better opponent...one 30 year old guy can only do so much for so long. The magic defense wore out lebron when he tried to do it all too, and he is a much younger and stronger player.. LA and kobe played their best and it simply wasn't good enough.
finally, the magic are just a great shooting team, and after the long pre-finals break and the jitters at staples, they are back in their groove, and last night's performance was not that abnormal for them. Expect the onslaught to continue. The next time we get to see jack nicholson jumping around courtside it will be because his beloved lakers are facing elimination. magic in 6, possibly 7.
and by the way...you do realize that USC never even "2-peeted", right? there is a little crystal football that's been in baton rouge since 2004 that pretty much clears up that issue..just because half of the sportswriters in the country live in LA and are USC homers does not a champion make...and we all know what vince young did to your guys in '06.
if you would like to see a team actually win the BCS two years in a row, and 3 of 4, just keep an eye on the mighty gators this fall!

i agree with you, first quarter kobe was an absolute monster. but after that their offense looked confused and out of rhythm. he was taking extended breaks along with fisher and the only thing keeping the lakers in it was their inside offense.
the magic will not shoot 62% again, but the lakers bigs will continue to dominate, kobe will be looking for blood, and free throws are going to fall for the lakers. i dont see any way the magic can get another win.
to bad you don't understand the guy anyway even if you say you do. why do you even start talking crap when you cannot handle crap being talked back at you?at that
Confucius once said its the most stupid and most wise that never change... now i finally understand what that old geezer meant
