I think the reason he played so passive on him was fear of foul trouble. Last night Lee came in with a chip on his shoulder (he was probably tired of that other Van Gundy saying how he was too small to guard Kobe). He didn't care about the fouls, he was getting into Kobe's kitchen and wasn't looking for a snack, he was after the 4 course meal. Let's hope both he and Peaches keep the intensity up! It wears on the ageing Kobe, and that is our key to victory.

My only comment is that Lee was fouled on that jumpshot right after the dunk. He was talking to the officials about it which is something he rarely does, so I would bet there was something there that they missed. The turnover on the next possession was all on him though.

come on Turk, that much space makes it a layup for him.

Get physical Lee!

Bull**** call there, straight BS!

oh ****! Lee!

If that is the case, then there is no way that Kobe can keep shooting like he has. We are at home, we have built some mo'. A strong start to the 3rd is key.

Finally we start passing the ball like we should. Now let's get some stops!

Vintage Nelson!

Does anyone else despise Sasha Vujjajcicic? I cannot stand him at all.

We are playing the Lakers game. We need to force our pace and gameplan. Make them adapt to what has got us here. As far as Bryant goes. I think that we need to put Lee on him and have Turk double. Lee is quick enough to limit his drives to the hole, and Turk is big enough to make it difficult for him to pass it out of the double. Peaches does not have the bball IQ to guard him, he is not LeBron, he is not going at your chest every possession. He is much more crafty.

It is very important that we not cave in here. We need to make it close.

Im just saying the dude throws his elbows like Karl Malone and Shaq put 2gether!!!! The 4 letter boards are saying the same thing???!!! I am not debating that he uses his elbows too much (but when your arms are that big and long it is hard not to). I am debating the respect aspect. He is the best center in the NBA. That is respect.

Anyone else still thinking we play better with Rafer than Nelson?

Bull ****

and the ****ting calls begin!

Somebody needs to start ***** slapping our guys. Wake the **** up!

Nelson showing a little rust, but overall very positive (better than Johnson, at least Rafer's equal). Time to shake the jitters and play Magic basketball in the second half.

Lee isn't playing bad per say. Him on Walton is a bad matchup though. He was defending Bryant about as well as you can, Bryant was just hitting some tough shots. Peaches is taking the same shots he did in the last series, but now he is missing them. A lot of them were bad shots then, but they were going in so he got away with it, now percentages are catching up with him.

Jameer Nelson is not human, there is no other explanation. He has simply been getting super secret upgrades to his android body the past 4 months.
