    The Magic only have themselves to blame if they lose this game. The referees have done the best to help them win...

    Kobe needs to find an open teammate.

    Kobe is one level below Lebron James.

    Is not calling the flagrant foul at the end of the game a rule or is that just a general practice of refs?

    Rashard sux, guy making that kind of money should be the first option and putting up Kobe numbers every game.

    This reminds me of the game 7 of the 2000 WCF when the Kings couldn't hit a free throw to save their lives, at least their season.

    I wonder if Ariza came back in Finley style on that play. Anyone with a DVR?

    That kind of foul happens so often, never got called flagrant, even in regular season.

    It seems the league really wants the series to go to 6-7 games!

    No matter what, the Magic have played some great basketball since Game 1. They've earned my respect no matter who wins this series.

    Rashard Lewis is like the 6'10" version of Ray Allen with his hot & coldness. Only Ray Allen is in the twilight of his career.

    I'm not sure if it's an NBA rule, but I thought you have to establish yourself in-bounds before you can touch the ball. It certainly looked as if Ariza came from out-of-bounds to grab that board.

    Actually, on the replay, one foot was in-bounds. I'm guessing that's enough to establish yourself in the court.

    Ray Allen was always a better shooter, even though Lewis is very good too.
