    Lakers are just playing **** defense right now and they've gone into bad Lakers mode. They need to do better.
    That said, I can tell that Kobe is in "I will destroy you and your family" mode right now, so the Magic shouldn't be confident.

    The Magic are playing some GOOD basketball. Best I've seen them ever play. Even JJ is contributing!

    He may end up in the same situation as Lebron in the last series.

    Did it tick anybody else off that for that NBA commercial thanking the fans that they didn't use the clip of Artest "In the stands" at the end of the Portland series? That's 300x better than the typical slap hands with fans in the front row thing that everybody does.

    So let's play the "how stupid is Bynum" game? I saw the Gortat dunk coming a mile away.

    Similar to Gasol getting burned earlier. You could see it coming.

    its the nba

    they do not want to promote artest and being in the stands at all


    even though that single moment shown how far he has come and matured going full circle.


    i thought as a nba fan it was quite a nice moment, its a shame that tnt didnt really focus on it at all during the broadcast.

    JJ, come to Houston.
    Gasol man up serious, stop looking for the ref to bail you out, go strong.

    Is Kobe trying to act like Jordan right now? It sure seems like it.

    Absolutely... I meant even more than usual. For some reason, I got that impression.

    Are you a Nadal fan by any chance?

    For me, the Magic aren't winning - the Lakers are losing this game badly. I mean, play some stinkin' defense for once, particularly given how pathetically obvious the Magic offense has been.

    Dwight should have 20+ rebounds tonight.
    Magic need to give him the ball more instead of shooting threes all the time.

    They are playing poorly at both ends for one thing.

    And if they are doing that because they aren't trying or because the Magic are just outplaying them, either way, it's a knock on them. The Magic aren't making those same mistakes on the biggest stage right now. Credit them for doing with the Lakers aren't.

    The only person I've seen end questions with ",no?" is Nadal.

    the lead has to be double digits in the half for me to believe the Magic will win.

    Dwight looked like Yao on that play.
