Lakers Stole The Game

[jjgold]

[Tsoprano]

No, Orlando gave it to them.

[Fiasco]

big time...

I'm still heated at the no call on kobe's elbow...

[SBR Lou]

Stole it from refs yeh, LA shot 3 FT's in all of 4th Q and OT combined and that occurred with 3 secs left in OT.

Orlando shot 20.

[flyingillini]

God Bless the Lakers

[The General]

Damn

Good job, Laker bettors.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Stan Van Dumbdy... Horrible coaching down the stretch. Nelson shouldn't be sniffing the court. Hedo is dumb as a rock as well.

[ijustwant2bpaid]

Scammed, came down to kobe and his acting skills paired with Howard and his lack of freethrows, guy should be flogged and forced to shoot freethrows till the sun comes up which is not very lond over there in Florida, what a fool... Freethrows are a lost art indeed, these playoffs go to show. First Lebron and now Howard, no matter how great the athelete, they are nothing without clutch freeethrows...

[Tsoprano]

Orlando GAVE it to them on a silver fukking platter

[Dark Horse]

It's called experience.

[Deuce]

Maybe should try and post up, get the ball down low to Howard instead of launching 3's with a prayer attached. They deserved to lose the way they played in the 4th.

You have to give a guy space to turn and besides, Orlando was getting EVERY single call anyway. Lakers shot 0 free throws in the 4th and Orlando shot 18 in one quarter. Up until that point, Lakers had shot 18 free throws too. Lakers deserved this victory whether you were on Orlando or hate the Lakers.

[paco]

blame it on Dwight! could have made it a 2 possesion game

[WileOut]

Stan Van Gundy gave them the championship in a gift wrapped box. Its really that simple.

[lakerboy]

lakers=god

[byronbb]

In general though the refs have been letting them play. Even Kobe hasn't been getting his phantom calls.

[Domestic]

Experience
Magic were happy to win the ECF
Lakers won't be happy till they win the Championship

[hoopster42]

No, Orlando gave it to them.

yes. when you shoot 22-37 from the FT stripe, you basically fukkin gave it to them

[hoop guru]

May van dumbdy never make it to the finals ever again.

[X-Rated]

Wow how could you be leading by 14 during half-time and then let the Lakers back in and steal the win. Stan Van Dummy is too stupid to keep his team strong. Why the hell would you tell your players to keeping doubling Kobe? Those easy 3's hurted the Magic pretty bad. Magics has good players but a very retarded coach. Good thing I took the under instead.

Van Dumby didn't study film from last year's FINALS when CELTS played him 1 on 1, let him have his points while the rest of the Lakers stood watching. KOBE eventually tired out at the end of games and his teammates stayed cold throughout the game.

After last nights free throw discrepancy, maybe the talk about the Lakers, the refs and the fix will be quieted. Let's face it Orlando has gotten the bulk of the calls in this series. They're also lucky they weren't swept.

If you believe in the conspiracy theory, then this game had that written all over it. The NBA wanted this series to go seven games, or at least prolong it. But it backfired on them and the Lakers won playing 5 vs. 8. It's unbelievable how many calls went against the Lakers. All I'm hearing from every Orlando backer or Laker hater is the elbow on Kobe. Stop focusing on one play! During the entire 4Q, the Lakers DID NOT go to the free throw line and the Magic were awarded 18 FTs! Also, at that point, the Lakers had shot 18 FTs the entire game and the Magic go to the line that many times in one quarter? Give me a break. It's beyond me how Fisher gets called for a foul for barely touching Howard while Gasol gets shoved to the floor. Kobe constantly drove the lane and drew contact and there was no call. The Magic almost shot twice as many FTs the entire game so if anyone blames the refs for giving the Lakers the game, then you really need to rethink your opinion.

and that my friend is the root to championships. Defense wins the ring. Free Throws win basektball games. Three pointers lose championship games. You have to get in the paint if you want to win. Praying for 50% from the 3 pointer is not consistent enough to win every game.

[BobHarvey]

The great teams and the clutch players ALWAYS rise to the occasion. Did I expect Fisher to make the three in regulation? No. Am I surprised he did? No.

Thats what happens when you have a center that has 1 move (dunking), and then the rest of the shots coming from 3. Teams that live and die by the 3 end up getting burned.

HELL YES BROTHER!! I said it after game ****ing one in my thread Van Gundy is a douche. One of my best friends played for him at a small college before going pro in Europe league. He said that he should be fired immediately. You beat the defending champions, besides a last minute shot by Lebrone would have swept Cavs (the team with the best record) and now lets play a guy 28 minutues after 4 months on the ****ing bench. And continue to throw hom in the game at crutial times, like fourth and OT!! I can't even tell you the stats the are ****ing sick. Is Jamire sucking Gundys dick? This series should be 3-1 Orlando right now instead of the other way. LA has not beat this team yet besides game one. PERIOD.

Get your ass here. You have me email. I PM you before I saw it on the thread CLASSIC

[Jerry Seinfeld]

Lakers did not steal anything. That no call on Kobe was bad but the discrepancy in Free Throws between the two teams and the fact that Hedo goes 1-4 and Howard bricks two huge ones then give up a three pointer the Derek Fisher, who earlier in the game could not have made a tennis ball in that hoop.

Orlando bounces back, wins game 5 big, then gets destroyed by LA at LA.

[Webster]

Howard prolly done to much fondling on some Smooth Balls the night before matchday, so he had some difficulty handling ball with a rough surface.
