No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

they both said he looks good in the workaround. Webber, “whenever you bring someone back to the family that was part of the family, things run smoothly.”

“probably will play him tonight, not a difficult decision, comes down to trying to make the decision that gives us the best chance to win, the easiest decision, the one that would create no problems would have been to not play him. It wouldn’t have upset our rotation or our players, I wouldn’t open myself up to criticism not playing him, but in the end, we think he’s ready to go, think he can put pressure on their defense, he’ll get better as the series goes on, that’s what we’re going to do”

Egads, these last 4 days have been torturous

Today has seemed like forever as well. Thank goodness this game is on ABC because I can finally watch from home. I’ve grown a little chubby and developed an unhealthy skin pallor with all of the beer I’ve been drinking while watching the games at a bar.

I’m leaving work early, going to buy some shrimp for some grilling, and sit back on my couch and enjoy the game. We can do this!!!! Go Magic!

Yeah, Rock M Nation is way different from here (I joined the last game thread)

Me and the Mizzou guys spend just as much time posting random pictures and gifs as we do actual basketball/football comments. It gets insane with the bandwiths, and I love it.

Yeah, we don't do that here.

.. normally pictures are okay, but we tell people to refrain from doing it during the playoffs, given the increased traffic. Likewise, no gifs at all times. That’s a no-no.

We rarely have problems with the game threads because no one is posting a bunch of crap that bogs down the thread, itself. In any case, we’ll see what’s up.

Funny thing is that I'm not normally superstitious.

had it not been for Jeremy Maclin, NW’s prettyboy Quarterback would have ruined our alreadly let-down season. And Depaul/NW Bball can easily get better. Mizzou’s program went from 16-16 to 31-6 and the Elite Eight in one year. Anything is possible!!

I agree

Nothing like having a good defender and shooter who can off the bench and add a spark. C. Lee does a great job in his starting roll. I think he could do more, but he isn’t asked too. He could easily give us 15, if we ran him off screens like Rip, but thats not our O.

Sasha Vujacic is to NBA Basketball what “West Side Story” is to Puerto Rican gangs… Does he think that long hair is supposed to make him look less girly? Hate to break it to you, Sasha, but it’s having the opposite effect. And Pau Gasol should have a nice career after his NBA days are over as a Geico Caveman…

Would just be able to close it out at home. I really don’t see us taking more than 1 from LA. If we don’t close out in Orlando, I think LA takes it. We really need to take one of the first two games.

by Ahillock on Jun 4, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

The circumstances are different.

Unless the Magic are up 3-0/3-1/3-2, the team would need to win two consecutive games on the road, which is extremely difficult. Although the sample size is small, that’s never happened.

Lakers are 16-1 when Kobe has 7 or more assists this season.

And he had 18 shots

And made 6 of 9 after starting 3 of 9. Gulp.

Magic haven't played well.

.. doesn’t help when Kobe has been getting into his comfort zone, offensively.

I expected this to happen

The Lakers are completely different from Cleveland. Orlando’s come back from bigger deficits. No reason to panic

Stan should not have played Jameer that long

If Derek Fisher is beating you with his SPEED on the offensive end, then you need to put Rafer or AJ in. The entire 2nd quarter was ridiculous; give him those 4-5 minutes and take him out after the second timeout.

by Avinash Kunnath on Jun 4, 2009 10:18 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, Jameer may have been out there for too long.

Exactly

I think the defense was okay. If the offense comes then the defense will too. We got screwed in transition a few times so if we score more thatll go away some

by matthan on Jun 4, 2009 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Some of the defense was okay.

Pietrus made Bryant take some tough shots, but Kobe made ’em .. nothing you can do about it.

If the Magic miss their open jumpshots it's due to stage Fright . . .

If the Magic make them then it’s due to poor Lakers D . . . FAIL!!!
