    They'll get more calls next time, and finish the series in 6 games.

    Dwight just had to make one free throw at the end and they wouldn't have been in this mess.

    Fisher's been shooting decent in the Finals. If anything its Jameer rusty ass Nelson that shoulda been left open.

    Bad decision on Stan's part. I definitely would of put Rafer on Fisher.

    The Magic lost this game in a magic way. Talking about the choke job.

    Orlando loses another one..they should have won, and be up 3-1...but free throws have killed them and Jameer down the stretch really stunk it up!

    The fouls by Kobe and Farmar weren't on the ball either. They grabbed his off arm and pulled him down. I can see the danger in undercutting Gasol but as I asked earlier if you can essentially tackle a guy under the basket without it being a flagrant I don't see why this was and the others weren't.

    In the end, the NBA title was decided on a blatant and vicious Kobe elbow in which the official was staring directly at it and did nothing.

    Nothing could be more fitting.

    Congrats David Stern, you win. Again. And you even suckered me along for the ride.

    Make your free throws and none of this happens. Plan the stupid parade already.

    lol DWIGHT can jack up great numbers except in clutch time. Missed 2 free throws, where at least one would've sealed the deal for the game. I hate to bring it up but Yao would've made both and we would've even have to worry about him making it, the game would've been over when he stepped to the line.

    I wonder why SVG keeps benching the Polish Hammer...maybe the Gundy brothers just hate non-asian foreigners? On a game where Rashard was playing like crap why didn't he give Gortat more minutes at the four spot? Dude had 4 pts and 4 rebs in just 4 mins of play lol...

    Kobe got away with an elbow? no way.
    Orlando continues the tradition of choking.
    kobe getting a championship just makes me want to puke.

    I agree with Kobe pulling him down. I don't think you should be allowed to pull a players arm like that. Some bad calls both ways although Lakers got the best call of all when Kobe elbowed another player. IMO that should warrant a suspension since an elbow above the shoulders is an automatic suspension; of course we know the league is going to look the other way. It was no accident for sure.
