    And a third sick pass by Nelson... Nelson is getting it done right now.

    Why can't these guys make a FT?!?!?!

    P.S. Jameer looks good out there. He's doing a great job of finding teammates and creating for others.

    Has Jameer Nelson lent anything even CLOSE to a threat?

    He's had some nice passes suprisingly, but dumping to a motivated Dwight Howard can make anyone look like a playmaker

    *edit*
    that was a random thought from earlier, mostly about offense. but he's been doing a point guard's job.

    The referees have decided to let the Magic win. The Lakers are now in the penalty and the Magic has no team fouls. No matter how hard the Lakers drive the ball, no calls.

    Anyone who complains about referee favoritism for the Lakers need to shut up after this quarter. I don't like either team, but the refs have been quite a bit on the side of the Magic.

    If he's not in form why is he in the game...Anthony Johnson would be an upgrade over Nelson right now..Rafer was doing the exact same thing Nelson was doing, but much more efficiently...Magic were on there way to a blowout...but poor defense on Ariza ..got Lakers back in the game..

    He drew two defenders and dropped the ball off to Howard on one play... then drove into the teeth of the defense, drew three players to him and kicked out to a wide open shooter... then made a perfect pass to Howard who had his man sealed off to one side with a weak side defender coming behind him.

    Bynum defends Howard better than Gasol and Odom, but refs don't let him play.

    Have you been watching the game for the last several minutes? Nelson is playing great down the stretch.

    I said Alston has played better than an out of form Nelson overall in this series but SVG's decision to keep Nelson in seems to be paying off right now.

    That's all on Turkoglu. How stupid do you have to be not to put your hands up when the shot clock is at 1?

    BUT HE MAKES UP FOR IT!!!

    Refs favors home teams, teams down by a lot in a game, teams down in a series.

    Magic got two factoers here.

    Yea, I misunderstood what you were getting at. He did look awful for the most part until the last few minutes.
