    Why is that? The Magic are at home and dominating at both ends.

    I don't see any reason to conclude that they can't win if they happen to be up by let's say, 5 points.

    Pietrus has a 4 year MLE deal, he's a good value player. I think we would be better signing someone like him rather than Artest for 10M.

    Well, it's a double digit lead. 12+ points with the Magic having the last possession. :D

    It's physiological and makes phil almost have to start kobe after the half. Make kobe play more and leave fumes for the fourth period

    Magic Johnson is incapable of giving credit to anybody but the Lakers. He says the Lakers are beating themselves but the Magic are playing great this half.

    Fisher. During game 3 JVG said: "...give me someone like Derek Fisher . 6 foot, 30-something years old, and puts his body on the line". Glad JVG is gone as the Rockets coach.

    So ...

    Are the Magicians back in this series?

    Or is this all a home court facade?

    I still think Magic will take this in 7, they should have won game 2!

    At least he's racking up assists. Oh, wait... that's Hedo's job.

    I think it's safe to say Ariza is gonna get paid this offseason.
