Why is the next game Sunday..it should be tomorrow or something


Quote from Gavel
They're probably spacing them out a whole lot because it's the finals.


Quote from Dark
I think after Sunday they're going to be every other day.

There's no saturday games.

Anyway, what's with all these blowout games all of a sudden? I miss it when the games would end with scores so close that one second could completely change the outcome of the game.

That's what I liked about the Celtics - Bulls series. It was fun to watch, mainly because of the overtimes.

The buzzer beater by Big Baby Davis in the next series was pretty fun to watch too :)

Yeah especially when he pushed that little fat kid over.

Kendrick Perkins is the new Big Baby, according to everyone.

Lakers take Game 2 and lead the series 2-0 after the overtime win.

Thoughts on the game?

Does this win make you believe it's over?

After that performance, it's far from over. The fact that they came back from a 25 point loss to bringing the game into overtime is enough for me to think the Magic will take these next two here in Orlando. Odom was making it tough for them, though.

I was genuinely pissed off last night after the game. Courtney Lee is a bust.

I do believe it is over though. Magic might win one of the home games and its over afterwards. Dwight Howard can't get open. He's not aggressive enough against the Lakers. He hasn't been able to score too well in the past two games. The Magic need Dwight to score. Rashard and Hedo can make all their 3s, but without a big man to do the offensive rebounding and the posterizing, turnovers will be inevitable and with Lakers' Odom and Gasol in the paint? ****, it's as good as over

Some fan you are, stuff. The Magic's a pretty resilient team. You forget how many deficits they've come back from this series. The fact that they took them to overtime is enough to know its far from over. The fact that that final shot be Courtney Lee could have tied up the series is enough to have hope for the Magic. If Courtney Lee hadn't missed that shot right before they went into overtime, what would your thoughts on the series be?

You're right. If Courtney had made that shot, I would think that the Magic would have a pretty good chance of winning the Finals, but I've always been a pessimist.

But according to statistics, only 1 team from the past 12 seasons that started off with a 2-0 lead came back in the end and won with a furious rally. We'll see though. If the Magic win the next two games, there's a good chance.

If they do lose, though, I'm sure it won't be without a fight. I'd say 7 games.

Yeah, I'm watching it. Magic aren't doing too bad, but I'm afraid of a Kobe rally in the second half. It's been known to happen and ****, he never misses holy shit
