2009 NBA Playoffs!

The magic are clearly outmatched. The Lakers played poorly yesterday and still managed to win. I'm almost thinking there might be a sweep.

By the way, Hedo played quite cheaply last night; lowering his shoulder and what not.

I can agree, but it still isn't over. Orlando has come from behind like every series except against the Cavs. Playing at home really changes up the pace of the series, just watch like Thanatos says.

I'm still claiming Orlando in 7.

Damn that's right! I forgot that they went to 2-3-2 format for the finals. If the Lakers are on their game I can see it being a sweep. I'm excited to watch the game tonite.

Orlando shot 75% in the first HALF. 67% in the overall game? Kobe was missing from the freethrow line. The game was excellent IMO. The series is now 2-1. But the Lakers still only lost by 4 points, still too close of a game really. Honestly, they played good enough of game two to win it but the cards just didn't fall their way. Damn, the NBA Playoffs this year have been awesome, I haven't been able to enjoy watching basketball on TV like this in a long damn time, must be that homerism kicking in.

Being a biased Lakers fan, I can tell you that Howard needs to be controlled. I can count 5+ times that he basically shoved Gasol, with his hands, out of the way for a rebound. Also, Lee and Pietrus need to be controlled because they are manhandling Kobe. And by manhandling they are smacking him all over and he's not getting any calls. Then again Joe Crawford was there. Kudos to the Magic for winning and shooting extremely well, but they need to stop playing thug ball just to win. That's why I hate the Celtics.

lol@you whining about Kobe fucking Bryant not getting any foul calls.

So you do agree that Howard is manhandling each big man from LA illegally? And Kobe got fouled almost every time he went to the hoop.

NO SHIT.

Okay HoH i'm going to have to stop your little happy-insolence-train right here on the tracks. If you are going to complain about officiating, that's cool and dandy, but you need to take your head out of your ass (no flame intended). The officiating job on both sides of the ball has been essentially horrendus in the finals, but if anything it has been the Lakers that have been getting the good side of the Refs.

I'll admit there have been tons of little ticky-tack-fouls, but that's just how the damn game has always been played, nothing is going to change. Even the Messiah himself Kobe has been guilty on numerous occasions, committing the foul and there is just no calls, it's stupid. Kobe brings too much attention to the game to foul out, if he sits on the bench, the broadcasting companies lose too much money. I'm not saying there is cheating going on, not even close to that, but there definitely is an apparent bias.

I just hope the two teams can play a nice clean game, and the Magic can pull out another win tomorrow. We'll see what's up.
