Today's Orlando Magic Game: vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers at Orlando Magic, Mar 7, 2010 2:30 PM EST


The Orlando Magic will host the L.A. Lakers this afternoon for the first time since last June, when the Lakers won the NBA Finals on the Magic's parquet court. Eddy's done his share of previewing the game here and at Forum Blue & Gold, so I won't say much more than this: the Lakers have lost two straight, and have yet to drop three in a row since acquiring Pau Gasol from Memphis more than two years ago. If you don't think L.A. is bringing all it has today, you're mistaken. Similarly, if you don't think the Magic--who already lost to the Lakers once this season--aren't extra hyped for this one, you'll be surprised. The Magic's training room has a framed photo of Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson watching the Lakers celebrate their title from the bench. They want this one. We should be in for a treat, especially since both teams have had a day to rest. Said rest day enabled Ron Artest to dye his hair blonde, with the word DEFENSE added in three different languages, in purple, incidentally.

If Artest's hair was sentient, it would go and hide itself in shame for looking like that.

After the game, the Suns announcers asked Lopez what he was going to do to celebrate and he said, "I'm going to kill Bart Simpson."

I just hope there isn't a big Laker contingent at the arena

I hate hearing people cheer the other team on Orlando’s own floor.

Seriously

We can be winning, and they’re still talking crap about the Magic – why they aren’t good enough, or just not talking about them at all. And what’s up with Jeff? Does he feel like he has to be completely against us also to avoid seeming bias? It’s actually kinda disgusting how blatantly on the Lakers **** they are.

Like last year all over again. Can’t wait.

Lakers get 3 seconds called on them. “That’s good offense.”

According to Yahoo! Sports, Kobe Bryant has a stomach illness but will play

The Magic are 2 point favorites, with an over/under of 197.

The Lakers are 2-6 straight up as an underdog, and 0-4 when they are a road underdog of three points or less.

According to him...

the Magic should just lay down and give up because the Cavs and Lakers are so much better than them. Or maybe they should cling to the legs of those big guys as they fight it out. I’m not sure.

Well, no, but this is a big game for the NBA and ABC/ESPN and they are calling all these ticky-tack fouls getting players in foul trouble.

There just isn’t any logic to how the game is being called so far.

How much extra money do you think the refs are getting this game from a team that rhymes with fakers

by Dawg013 on Mar 7, 2010 4:58 PM EST reply actions  

Magic haven't scored in a minute and a half

D12 misses the FTs, a tough call on the offensive goaltending and a missed three by Lewis.

That changed the momentum toward the Lakers.

5:09 remaining and still a Magic 4 point lead.

anyone think Dwight's in a mini-slump?

I suppose he hasn’t been needed to score 20 against the Sixers, Warriors and Nets.. I suppose the Lakers have one of the more agile big men combo going around, so they’re the best he’s going to face.

that excludes Bynum, I can’t believe this guy was better than Dwight, in some people’s minds anyway earlier in the year.

Not only did the Lakers lose, they were mad about it. Kobe and Pau both walk off looking ticked.

I look at like this

We played 3 quarters great. Kobe became Kobe. And there’s some time and possesion managment issues (Foul Kobe?) but all in all the new guys played (Even Bass’ early play). Gortart, Barnes, Barnes and Vince all played well and we gonna need them in the ’offs.

Not a lucky win, but it certainly required more work in the end that one would imagine after the first 3 quarters

One could make the argument the lakers and Kobe specfically were gonna make a run, but again considering all the jitters and tightness started to show up (missed free throws) it was a survival.

After making 17 of their first 18 FTs...

Magic made just 11 of their last 21 FTs.

20 Magic turnovers to just 7 for the Lakers.

The Magic held the Lakers to just 37 1/2% shooting and outrebounded them by 11.

Magic made 28 FTs, Lakers 23 FTs.

The Magic have now won 5 in a row!

these FT's are called clutch free throws for a reason

nobody knows how a game is going to turn out so there goes that bs about it being just 1 point. The outcome was close so the team needed to knock down free throws when it matters most. Dwight, VC and Jameer would have iced the game if they just make them
