    You got faith man, and I'll be the first to say I was wrong thinking we lose this game if we win.:knucks:

    Odom has been crap on the rotational defense for the most part from what I've seen tonight. That's got to be frustrating.

    Lakers back atop the NBA as the Champs.

    League is too predictable; Boston & LA rise back to the top.

    amazing. If Courtney Lee's layup wasn't too strong we go back to Orlando 1-1. Instead we have a helluva mountain to climb. Keep your heads up guys!!!!!

    I feel like I just kicked in the balls, yet I'm still proud of our team. We showed we can hold with this team, and we just have to make it happen. I hope we got a little more respect from all the people that thought we would get blown out. We stayed with them and made them work for that win, and just fell short.

    I still think we can get things done at home, we just have to win one in LA. As bad as it is to lose like this, don't quit, don't you ever ****ing quit, on the Magic.:knucks:

    If you look at the trend, down 25 first game at close, down 5 this game (both in L.A.), the Magic have a legitimate chance to take this series. This isn't the first time the Magic have been in this situation, have faith my brothers.

    Like I said before the series, this is the problem now... the 2-3-2 format. I just can't see the Lakers losing three straight games. I don't see it. There is no way in hell you guys can win both games 6 and 7 in LA. No shot.

    Say what?

    Courtney Lee has had an outstanding rookie season IMO. He's very calm and a good defender. Not to mention I think he shoots well. Those two shots should have been made easily but we all make mistakes and he's a rookie playing in a big time game. Magic played well tonight so that's a positive note because they almost won this game in LA. Now LA has to go to Orlando and win some, which I think will be a bit difficult. I still have LA in six though.

    I don't plan on seeing any talk about anybody getting cut until after this season. And this season is not over. By a long shot.

    Wouldn't start panicking yet.

    We all remember 2006.
    (and if you dont I will remind you, heat came back from being down 2-0, almost 3-0 really and kicked the **** out of mavs :D)

    Anyway
    Must win at home tho.

    Just a song I've been listening to since the game ended, kinda poetic and makes me believe in our team. If you have a minute, listen and enjoy, if you don't like it, no worries, sorry to bother you.:up:

    i have to admit there were bad calls, both ways. but does everybody remember howard putting his hand through the net to block a shot. that was goal tending and the Lakers should have won in regulation 90-88.

    I dont care about either team....but my impression is that LA is going to win this series in 5, maybe 6 games.

    Not sure who you are directing that at but I'm not a Lakers fan nor am I a Magic fan. However, I do have the Lakers in six. Again, don't know if you are directing that at someone specific but I just wanted to clear myself.

    Um, had things to do? Dinner after the game with the girlfriend? Driving home? Is there a rule that we should post here immediately after the game? I probably wouldn't have even logged on if I weren't too tired to fill out my AMCAS...

    I'm guessing it was towards me since DonShula84 likes the Lakers about as much as he hates the Notre Dame Drunken Leprechauns. :wink2:

    Not after the game, during the game, lol. Dinner and stuff don't matter in cases like this, what's the matter with you? Just kidding man, I thought you had tix to the game? I know you guys out in CA are 3 hours behind us, but there's a few people on here that are not, that still wait to post long after the game is over. It was a good game man, I hope it's that good in Orlando on Tuesday.:knucks:

    ya know, i've gotta give you props. not once have you written that the refs made bad calls and try to tarnish the win. a couple years ago when i was on another board i thought you were good people, still do. hold down the fort batman, catch ya later.

    yea, as a magic fan, i dont want to think this way, but the series is over imo. we needed atleast one of first two games, and we choked in this past one. everyone from Courtney Lee, to Stan Van Gundy, to Dwight Howard....shame...
