Kobe was tired. He didn’t look sharp out there for most of the game. Thought that pass to Pau for the and-1 in overtime was nice.

true
Phil let him play a bit TOO loose with the ball. It resulted in 7 TOs… But hey, we WON!

Magic got nice offensive production out of their front line tonight:
Lewis: 12/21 = 34
Hedo: 8/17 = 22
Dwight: 5/10 = 17

on the other hand, Nelson + Alston + Pietrus + Lee = 12 pts.

The shot Rashard hit in OT was the exact play they ran against the Cavs to win.

That’s the kind of play I can’t stand. By sheer luck he hit it.

There's no doubt about it
In a grinding game of toughness, the Cavs would not have found a way to prevail down the stretch and answer the clutch plays by Orlando the way LA did. The Lakers simply are a better team than the Cavs. (Although I don’t like to admit it.)

good thing is lakers coulda played a heck of alot better tonight and still gutted out the win. hope they watch alot of film for adjustments and cleanup on the def. end with the blown assignments – cough lamar cough. dont let lewis get hot and this game would have been another blowout. well, least we can expect the lakers to shoot the ball better than they did today, i imagine.

Blowout in game 1.....OT win in game 2.
Well, we have won it both ways in the first two games. Magic made their adjustment and it was back and forth the whole game until we took over in OT.
Van Gundy stated in his postgame conference that he doesn’t think he can throw a lineup we haven’t seen yet. This is good news because we have handled everything they have thrown at us. However, it will be CRAZY in Orlando, so we better be ready and I am positive the Lakers will.

Javie favors the visitors like most refs favor the home teams. He was a very, very bad draw for the Lakers tonight.

Didn’t he eject one of the Blazers announcers before? He can be good sometimes, mostly though he is not all that great. Sometimes I think he knows that refs are supposed to “favor the home team” and he doesn’t want to fit into the mold. Therefore he gives the road team a lot of the 50/50 calls. It is what it is I guess

Hedo and Lewis wasted their best game...
Just like Carmelo in game one.
I don’t think that Lewis and Hedo will combine to go 50% from three point range again. They also shot way above their averages on 2-point attempts.

Hedo and Lewis will shoot that well if they’re left as open as they were many times tonight. As good as Odom was on offense, he was equally unfocused on defense. He let Lewis just go – forgot about him completely.

Reporter: Your game face has been on the entire series. Still waiting for a big smile out of you, you’re up 2-0. What’s the story? [laughing] Are you not happy, or are you only half happy or-
Kobe: [eyes bug out a bit, shrugs] What’s there to be happy about?
Reporter: [sheepishly] You’re up 2-0.
Kobe: Job’s not finished. [to reporter] Job finished? … I don’t think so.
The End.
P0wned. I guarantee you Kobe will be beaming if the Lakers win the series, just not a second before. These reporters, man, what do they expect him to do, pull a T-Mac?

Jon Berry needs to stop hating on the Lakers
He doesn’t even try anymore to be impartial. Even his compliments seem backhanded ones. And somebody needs to offer Marc Jackson a coaching gig b/c I don’t like his play calling all that much. I wish they’d bring hubie brown instead, and wish they’’d take the best of the ESPN post game coverage crew and the best of TNT post game coverage crew (Magic, Stewart A Scott, Charles Chuck Barkeley, Kenny Smith) and do a special finals crew. Ditch Wilbon, JB, Webber, Ernie.
I expect the lakers to lose game 3, make the adjustments and win game 4, then lose 5, and come back to close it out in 6.

One thing I know for sure is that
the Lakers can’t play on the road the way they played today, Kobe made plays but overall he sucked, Fisher was big really big, Trevor was good on D, Gasol and ODOM all came up big but they can’t play good D for only three quarters. So they must come with A game for the whole game in Orlando.

Kobe puts in marathon six-hour, six-days-a-week workouts during the offseason. Which is why when somebody asked him before this series began if he has prepared extra hard for these Finals, it was an insult to what he stands for.
