like... iso play, double team, and the ref's blow that call? ridiculous

What part of it was blown? That is a legal play for Kobe, remember what he did to Mike Bibby?

it looked more like nelson ran his face into kobe's elbow rather than kobe elbow him

seriously? were yall really expecting howard to make free throws? give him a break. he's just short of a 60% free throw shooter.

I'm a Lakers fan and a Fisher fanboy but when I see blatant, offensive fouls not being called it really kills the game to me.

Very empty victory for the Lakers (in my opinion)

That was definitely a foul by Kobe, but that "fouls" by Fisher and Bynum at the other end were equally laughable as that no call.

I'm pretty sure the Magic are on the verge of dethroning the Mavs as the biggest chokers in the playoffs.

Most people just look at the obvious fault at all blame it on dwight, but if you go back to the entire game, if ANY of the magic palyers made an extra 2 point shot that they didn't, they coulda won. Its not dwight's fault, tho it seems most people are blaming it on him.

Magic gave it away. They put themselves in a position to lose. How many turnovers is that? Over how many possessions?

I don't understand the sudden switch to nelson, I won't go so far as saying it was bad, but strange.
Pau played great and deserves the player of the game award. Howard had like 3 blocks near the end of the 4th.

I wouldn't say that only because Dirk got MVP prior and the mavs where considered favorites to win the championship that year if I recall. If they lose hopefully they can take the off season to prepare harder and get back to the final game again because lets be honest when the playoffs first started not a lot of people predicted they'd get this far or even dethrone the Cleveland Lebrons who's collapse this post season could be considered Mavs like but I get your point.

I see the logic of this, but a play in the first quarter and a play near the end of the game are different. Fact remains that Howard had two free throws and needed to make just one to virtually put the game away and he failed to do so.

I've been very impressed at Howard's FT shooting throughout the playoffs. But making free throws at the end of a close game in the NBA finals is another story. Bottom line is a star of a championship team needs to be able to make 1 of 2 to close out a game and Howard failed and it's a shame that people will remember the choke at the end rather than his absolute domination on the glass and on the defensive end of the court.
