    First one was blocked by 6'10 Lamar Odom.

    NBA players, contrary to popular belief, aren't immune to pressure inducing moments

    Gasol saved Kobe there. His rotation made Lee put a hair more arc on the shot, and that's all it took. Kobe overpursued against a poor shooter, and it almost cost them the game.

    It probably technically was. However that shot was going long no matter what, happy with the no call.

    Howard making the same mistakes as Yao. Go up with the ball high so you don't get stripped.

    That would've been a blocking foul if it was Kobe or LeBron.

    Lol some people are idiots. I'm not saying he should hit it every time... just that it was big to miss. I'm sure he is thinking 'damn I should of made that' not 'it was a tough shot, it was a pressure moment and because the pressure got to me it is ok to miss'

    So Courtney lee failed and if the Lakers win it will be the refs fault. And then these same posters will say they aren't watching another game of the NBA finals because Stern has it rigged (LOL). Then these same posters will make their way into the "LA has the all star game in 2011" thread and complain about Los Angeles and David Stern.

    Serious, serious city envy by some of you houstonians. It's sad, really.

    Hedo needs to have his hands up when Kobe draws into him and fades away.. he is 6'10 FFS.

    The Magic backcourt is just trash. No way they can close this game with Rafer and Redick out there. What a joke.
