Well, that could have gone better. We don't seem to be getting the calls (at all), but we're also not playing very well. To put it simply, they're getting all of those 50/50 plays. All the effort plays, everything that could go either way, they're coming up with them. They're hitting their shots, and we're not.
They're outrebounding us by 5, and Howard is already having a block party: 5 in the first half. Until the last few seconds, the foul and free throw situation was actually pretty even. Even now, the FTA count is 12-16, and the foul count is 13-12.
In the end, as Jeff Van Gundy would say, this is a make or miss league, and the Lakers are missing.33.3% from the field won't cut it against the Magic. The Lakers are going to need to get back into their game, and use their passing to beat the Magic. They're going to have to grind it out if they want to pull out a win in the second half.
Sound off here.

I am bummed he hasn't done much lately.

Okay, is it just me or does Kobe have a weird look on his face
I don’t know what to make of it.
It’s of the carefree and arrogant nature.
Ariza...I miss him
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
I was just going to razz you...

Seriously, though…
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
LAKERS LEAD!!!!!!!
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Refs can't stand to watch players scramble and feel compelled to whistle something...
So who do you think wears the invisible call, the superstar or the human foul machine????
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
................ the HOME superstar or the VISITING human foul machine????
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Not a foul on Bynum, sorry refs...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
BYNUM WILL NEVER GET INTO A GROOVE…… damn refs, they kill all his momentum by calling DUMB ticky tack fouls on him.
Why do refs call fouls on those kind of plays....loose ball foul.
They are both going for the ball.
GO BRONCOS IN 2009 AND BEYOND!!
Lakers lead NBA Finals 2-1
I know. It doesn't even matter who it is one. Just don't blow the whistle unless it is totally obvious.
GO BRONCOS IN 2009 AND BEYOND!!
Lakers lead NBA Finals 2-1
I hate ESPN's coverage
The Cavs lost. Get over it. Focus on the teams that are actually still playing.
Wade and Salvatore in the same building
Just kill me now
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
No doubt -- 15 to 4 they said.
Fisher is terrible.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Bad part was it gave away a 2-on-1.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Trevor running, for his 13.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Kobe is a terrific rebounding guard.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
One can argue about this or that guard being the best shooter or the best penetrator, but Kobe is the best rebounder, hands down...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Howard RB18
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Orlando with 16 TO
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
That's how we roll
Live and die by the 3…good at times, unfortunate at other times
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
They said it was an "anti-ref chant" and the last word was SUCKS.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
I don't think so. It sounded like "Manny sucks"
but I’m thinking “refs you suck” or something like that.
Bennett Sucks?
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
I chanted Salvatore Sucks once during a game
Of course, I was the only one who did it
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
They do, you know...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
On that fans of both teams agree...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Don't know. Something sucks.
Now THAT is Laker basketball
GO BRONCOS IN 2009 AND BEYOND!!
Lakers lead NBA Finals 2-1
End of Third: LAKERS 67, OTHER TEAM 63
30-14 Lakers in period… It IS their best period, after all….
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
The perfect time for it too.
Now repeat for 12 more minutes.
GO BRONCOS IN 2009 AND BEYOND!!
Lakers lead NBA Finals 2-1
By the way I think in that Dwight and Kobe scuffle when they were going back and forth, Kobe told Dwight to just “shut up and play”
And you notice the refs just let it go.
Last round someone would have gotten a T.
GO BRONCOS IN 2009 AND BEYOND!!

Those are words I love to hear: "Tony Battie jumpshot..."
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Van Gundy doing the job for the Lakers with his guard substitutions again...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Not a foul on Pau either, just for the record.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
That was PERFECT. D was overcommitting and Fish got to the rack on them...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
He's only 23...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
You see the same exact thing from Drew and Oden...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
I hate that Euroflop crap.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Trevor's D forced Pietrus to change the shot and saved 2 points.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Pure hustle.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Terrible foul on Howard there. Pau was faking.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Followed by a makeup foul.
One thing about these refs, they are equal opportunity incompetents.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Pau is only 3/8 from the field tonight.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
And Dwight only has 8 pts to go with his 18 (!!!) rebounds...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Howard should not be dribbling in the key 1-on-4... (7th TO)
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Gotta run them off the arc, they are back to playing their usual game tonight...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
This is gonna be a Mbenga night...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Odom and Drew with 5 PF each...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
And Pau with 4. These refs are horrid.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Powell can play, too, although PJ hasn't used either one effectively in the playoffs...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
What did Pietrus do now?
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Kobe is chucking.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
He bodied him a little. It was close. Could have been a no call, but it was technically a foul.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Gasol looks lost handling the ball.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
Refs actually call a Howard GT. Alert the presses.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Only because the refs can't call negative fouls under the current rules...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Turk bails Lakers out...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Kobe is pissed, but I am not sure that is a good thing.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Because he chucks.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
But that WAS an open look.

Yes, Kobe fouled Jameer. That’s one legit gripe. We’ve got the entire 4th quarter to gripe about though.

Damn.
This game has made me feel good.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
Let me venture a guess. Magic fans are gonna bitch about Kobe’s elbow on Nelson, effectively ignoring the fact that we only had like 3 calls go our way in the 4th and OT.
Yep, no free throws in the 4th and OT until 3 seconds left in OT, and on a flagrant to boot

Timbo Rule remains perfect through these playoffs, BTW... Halftime was Orlando +12.

The coin toss is right an astonishing 50% of the time, however...

A little less than 50%
Because of the landing on side phenomenon, which actually happens quite a few times if you do it on a flat surface over a thousand tries

: ) With the way the officiating was going it could have been a textbook Sac vs Lakers game.
Have to admit, at least it kept the game exciting and the refs swallowed their whistles in OT. I wish they had done that ALL Game
I think the ending was textbook ORL/HOU game 1
Orlando player bricks 2 free throws, gives opposing team’s point guard chance to tie the game where they then go on to win in overtime.
Magic got tight and choked, not so much the vets performed masterfully...

Looking at it through Orlando eyes, they had it but nobody could hit a shot...

They had a couple REALLY good looks for 3 they passed up, going instead for contested 2s...

Not sure how Mark Jackson thinks Kobe's pass to Fisher was an offensive foul
He didn’t aim his elbow at Jameer, he just brought the ball up, he didn’t swing his elbow.

In slow motion it looks bad.
In game speed it looks like Jameer ran right up into it as Kobe was already moving.
His elbow came straight up, along with the ball
Are you not allowed to bring the ball up to pass if some sticks their face there?

Not arguing against that.
It was an accident, just looks bad when you slow motion the replay. In game speed, well, he was bringing the ball up to pass.
I wasn't arguing either

Admit it
who else thought this game was over after Lakers were down by 5 with under a minute to play
Me
But I always keep a small amount of hope alive.
I only think that as a defense mechanism

I wanted Hedo to eat his tongue
After he stuck it out, pissed me off. Fish sure wiped that look off his face didn’t he?
Somebody called game over...

Barkley is right
Why didn’t the Magic foul with Lakers up three????
Lakers stole that game, just shoplifted it right out the store.

those 2 made jump shots by Kobe at the beginning of OT were huge,
totally took momentum from Orlando after that Rashard’s three
Yeah a lot of people are going to give Kobe a hard time after this game
He did a bit much, but he also did a lot of good things.

He single-handedly kept us in the game in the first quarter. That was valuable.

This game was just like Game 4 in 2000
Lakers hit huge J’s in OT
Lakers in foul trouble
Lakers prevail on the road

If it is a flagrent 2, then yes
otherwise maybe not. The league will obviously review it.
GO BRONCOS IN 2009 AND BEYOND!!
Lakers lead NBA Finals 3-1
It's all about free throws
I said it during and after game 3 and it holds true for tonight. The Lakers missed 10 FTs in game 3 and they missed 15 tonight.
Thank You Howard for missing those last two
Oh, and the game balls go to Fisher for his clutch threes and Ariza for stepping up in the second half.

Fisher was frickin unbelievable
Everyone will remember those two shots, but I’m going to remember Fisher DIVING on the floor to secure a loose ball and call a timeout.

Congratulations, you guys.
Party like it’s the early 2000s. Your team won a tough, nerve-jangling game in Orlando. You now have a 3-1 series lead. No team has ever erased a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA Finals. The first 29 teams failed, and Orlando doesn’t look better than the Lakers, which is why they won’t be the first.
You guys are one win away from the NBA Finals. Start salivating!!!!
Dirty players
I am not a Magic fan, but I was disappointed to see the Lakers’ dirty play rewarded tonight. For one, Kobe absolutely tackled Dwight Howard at the end of the game. Should have been a flagrant foul. Then, he set up the game-winning three-pointer by elbowing Jameer Nelson in the face. Now, maybe the Lakers were the better team. The Magic certainly didn’t help themselves by missing freethrows and giving the ball away. But I can’t respect Kobe. Not the way he’s hyped. He showed no integrity. All he ever does is whine, but today he made some dirty plays (and I won’t even talk about Ariza’s non-call when he was standing out of bounds).
The Lakers may be the best team in basketball. But tonight, they did not deserve to win. Dirty play.
