    So far, the magic's offense is fine. Their problem is their defense right now; especially for their interior defense! Howard needs to be more aggessive at the defense end.

    That dunk by Kobe is another example of how badly Kobe is declining athleticism wise. He barely dunked it..

    This game is much, much better so far than any of the other games.

    True! This year is his best (maybe the last) chance to win a title!

    The Magic haven't learned anything from their game 4 perimeter defense mishaps.

    At the beginning, the majic focused on perimeter defense, but the lakers attacked the rim a lot. Then, it seems the magic changed defense strategy. But, it didn't work out!

    The magic are in panic mode right now!

    Jordan was the Finals MVP of 3 straight championship teams between the ages of 32-35.

    Oscar Robertson didn't win his first and only championship until he was 32.

    Those are just a couple of examples. The point is you are dreaming if you think this is Kobe's last chance, esp. when considering the fact that the Lakers are built to win for the next few years.

    He's pretty much saying that this is his last chance because obviously the Rockets will take care of them for good from now on. ;)

    If the Lakers keep the roster intact and Bynum comes back healthy and improved, they'll be contending again next season even without a PG upgrade.

    The lakers will face the challenge of the rockets and blazers next season. I think the lakers' time will come to an end!

    btw, Jordan took a two-year break, and I think that is a big reason why he can compete at the highest level when he was 32-35 years old.

    My personal opinion of Fisher has plummeted this season.
