The refs were bad at the end of regulation giving Kobe two fouls that weren't fouls. On the last possession in OT JJ took a three and was hammered to the ground and no call. Turk was fouled throughout OT.

Reddick plays hard..I'll give you that...but can't shoot for sheet! Just look at his season ave. for 3's

[fan for too long 16]

Yeah lets blame Redick who in the last two weeks has played a total of 17 minutes coming into tonights game. Thanks Junkie. Your logic is amazing.

stats break down

 

orlando 33-79 41.8% 10-30 33.3% 20-27 74.1% 44 rbs 20to

lakers 36-78 46.2% 5-15 33.3% 24-28 85.7% 35 rbs 12to

 

simply put it this way 8 turnovers more than the lakers resulted in a 101-96 ot loss they made 4 more free throws than us with 1 extra attempt made 3 more field goals with 1 less attempt.

 

their shot selection was better they looked after the ball and nearly lost this game in regulation to blame the refs or jj and rafer and even stan is flat stupid these guys were here last year and know what it takes in this situation we just got a finals lession now we must return home learning from this and our fans MUST make amway hostle give it to the refs and to the laker for 48 minutes make them play 5 versus thousands cause that what we just faced at staples this sereis is by no means over it just gets harder we have to win 3 in orlando ( the have not won there this year)

Would you like my 30 Magic jerseys as well and every "team autograph" for the past 20 years? Guess I shouldn't be a fan and a realist.

The reason the Magic wanted Redick was for his shooting which he has not brought with him from college. He may do better with another team in the future but he will be gone.

you can't bench a guy for basically a whole series and then expect him to be hot with his shot in te Championship series.

exactly and he didnt even grab the rim.. he smacked the net... people are just looking for something to blame, but we lost this game ourselves

 

Two flaws in this post.

 

1. Your wrong

2. It is the very same violation for touching the net as it is for grabbing the rim

 

theres 1 flaw in your post... smacking the net isnt basket interference, if u think it is u simply do not know the game

 

You can not touch the rim when the ball is above the rim.

It was clearly a basket.

What are you trying to do, invent new rules?

I could go on and on about some crappy calls, bad bounces, yadda yadda.

 

In the end the Lakers didn't win this game, the Magic lost it.

[fan for too long 16]

YEs I would Mo because my team is always the better team. You have to have faith in your team. You do not. Stick your autographs and your jerseys in the garbage with your faith.

20 turnovers...almost half of them by Dwight. Dwight needs much more improvement on the offensive end. He has to do more than dunk.
