Lakers would have won without OT if just one of those dumb fouls were called. Like the one where Howard is all over Gasol and then Fisher seeing that nothing being called grabs him and gets called. That was 2 FTs for Magic and 0 for Lakers. Hell if Kobe didn't have his foot on the line on that 3, game would have been over even with all the bad calls. Let's face it, Orlando sucked balls in FTs even with all the calls. Lakers are the better team. PS- I agree with above post, seems like most of the playoff games I've watch the refereeing has been hurting the lakers more than anything. | ||

It's a moot point since the Lakers won, but I'd just like to point out that interesting statistic for anyone who thinks the refs were on the Lakers' side in this game. LOL i belive that stat just proves how stupid those people are. oh and another thing... if howard could hit a free throw, maybe they would have won. | ||

Anyone crying about the refs, clearly doesn't understand that Orlando had the game in their hands. It was for them to win or lose. Guess what? They thew it away. Turnovers are the first statistic that catch my eye. Orlando had ten more turnovers than LA. Ouch! And there were also a few critical plays that would have allowed them to widen their lead was it not for bonehead mistakes. But it happens. Second is the fact is that Orlando played absolutely horrific down the stretch and left the window of opportunity open for the Lakers. The second stat is obviously free throw shooting. When you miss a ton of free throws and allow a team like the Lakers to be within striking distance, don't be surprised when they capitalize on the opportunity. And they did that exactly. When we consider a team that has the experience of the Lakers, games aren't won by accident. There are plenty of times when a team should have won, but faltered. Good teams find a way to win. I'm not surprised by this outcome at all. | ||

Magics got pwned so Bad in the 3rd, they scored like 5 points half way through the 3rd. They didn't choke, they got pwned by better Defense. If you were actually paying attention, you will notice how much harder LA tie up their D, it was ridiculous Paul jumping on every three point attempts, Kobe shutting down Lewis, Rotation rotation rotation, communication was perfect too, on top of that the Refs just let them play and not calling cheap faults, they decided that they are not going to let the game decide by ref calling faults. If you read my post above, you'll see that I definitely don't blame the refs for the Lakers winning. I agree that the Lakers turned up their energy and defense in the second half; but you can't tell me that Orlando missing free throws down the stretch to ice the game has anything to do with Lakers defense. | ||
