Game Five
The Lakers can finish the Magic off tonight, and win the 2008-09 NBA Title.
The Magic are fighting for their lives.
First Quarter
- Good job by Rashard Lewis, fronting or 3/4ering Gasol in the post, and deflecting the pass … turnover. Courtney Lee drills a jump shot on the other end.
- Three or four shot attempts at the rim there for LA, Bynum missing, Gasol finishing inside. Great effort from Bynum to keep that alive.
- Rashard Lewis bangs in a long jump shot Read the rest of this entry »

Game Four
Lakers lead the series 2-1.
I’d absolutely love to see the Magic win this game and tie up the series. It would set up some much needed tension over the remainder of this series. So, I’m pulling hard for the Magic tonight.
First Quarter
Lakers lead 2-0 after 90 seconds Read the rest of this entry »

Game Three
Am I the only one who thinks there is a lack of buzz about this game?
I like the Magic to rebound and win the game tonight. They’re due for a good shooting night.
First Quarter
- Dwight Howard wins the tip … He posts up on the left block, draws a double, kicks it out, Hedo gets a great look from downtown on the left wing, miss Read the rest of this entry »

Game Two
I think this game is a must win for the Orlando Magic. I cannot seeing them win four out of five games against the Lakers, which is something they’d have to do should they fall back 0-2 tonight.
First Quarter
- Excellent defensive rotations from the Los Angeles Lakers to take away Orlando’s three point shooting opportunities despite having numbers on the weak side of the court, forced Alston to put the ball on the floor and to take a tough runner over Gasol, miss. Read the rest of this entry »

Dwight Howard says Game One was a one-off
Magic center Dwight Howard isn’t overly concerned about his team’s disappointing performance in Game 1 against the Lakers.”Tonight was just an off night,” Howard told the Associated Press after the loss. “We’ve never had a shooting night this bad. Even when we’re not making shots, we got to give a better effort. It just wasn’t there. We just weren’t fighting.”
The Magic were just 23-for-77 from the field, including 8-for-23 from three-point range. Read the rest of this entry »

Stan Van Gundy thought Jameer Nelson played well in Game One
“[Nelson] played well in the second quarter,” Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said after the Lakers’ 100-75 victory. “I was happy. I thought he was getting in the paint on his pick and rolls. He had four assists. I thought he was making really good plays. And in the second half I didn’t think he was very good at all.”
Orlando starting point guard Rafer Alston had 6 points on 2-of-9 shooting and one assist in 25 minutes. Reserve point guard Anthony Johnson did not play. Read the rest of this entry »

Game One
I’m giddy about these NBA Finals. This should be a terrific matchup and a very exciting series.
First Quarter
Orlando lead 7-6 after the first two plus minutes.
- Gasol pulls down the defensive rebound after Rafer’s missed floater. Lakers come up court, quick post up for Kobe, he pressures Lee, turns middle, kickout, runs out the right wing, gets the ball back, drives hard down the baseline, draws a foul. Read the rest of this entry »
