    James Goldstein is rooting for the magic?

    That's weird since he has season tickets to LA every year

    Kobe is now playing like crap. I hate it when he tries to force things.

    Lee is getting into Kobe's head.

    Rafer is on fire tonight! His play dictates how well the Magic play.

    Everytime Rafer does something good, he thinks he can do it all and does something bad.

    the magic are having a record shooting performance and the lakers can't make a free throw. that's why you don't bet on the 2-0 team in game 3.

    The officiating tonight is terrible. And not in a way that favors anybody. It's just terrible.

    That was a pretty sick set of moves and a nice finish on his last make.

    Unfortunately, on the very next possession, he has a wide open mid-range shot and decides to lean his body 45 degrees to the left before releasing the ball.

    He is having a very good game. This should lead to quite a few overreactions once again.

    That's exactly what I'm talking about. He does something great, and then he does something stupid. It's Rafer being Rafer. He also did the same with that 22' corner three that hit the side of the backboard.

    Kid was born with a rare disorder. Would not or could not speak until he began watching basketball games. Basketball rocks.

    I was agreeing with you. SVG was trying to keep him in check. You need to do that when Rafer gets hot.

    DH a 7ft is getting so many touch fouls, he can even push Gasol out of bound for free. If YM is treated in the same way, no one can stop him in NBA history.

    SVG is an idiot. Why sub everyone out (that is playing well) when Kobe is on the bench. Put the game away....

    i guess i haven't watched him enough until the last 2 series, but where does turkoglu rank among the leagues offensive floppers. he's not first or anything, but he's up the list. he's always just stumbling into guys and falling or running into whoever he can find and falling or just generally flailing at any contact like pierce does.

    i'm not sure i've ever seen a team just keep making so many ridiculous highly contested shots over and over. a quarter, a quarter and a half of making tough shots? ok. an entire game, even after everyone is watching for it after a 75% shooting first half? my goodness.
