Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

I'm not that familer with the magic's team.But to me you go with the team that got you there.That nelson has been out almost the whole season.And now he is taking time from players that got them there.And i can see where they would be upset and it would take thier confidence away."This guy has been injured all season,and now you're playing him over me".I think that's some bad coaching to do that.I understand nelson is a all star and a great player.But to me,you don't mess with the chemistry of the team in the finals.

I agree for the most part. I wouldn't have rushed to fix something that was so far from broken (beating the Sixers, Celts, and Cavs ain't too bad), especially in the drastic fashion that Stan Van employed. But Nelson certainly helped the Magic get where they are, make no mistake ... he was their All Star point guard for a good chunk of the season, leading them to many wins that helped them get a high seed in the Playoffs.

BTPH and Joba ... great to see your latest posts.

So, what will Stan Van do with the point tonight? Does anyone have even a clue? I feel bad for Skip to My Lou ... he has been coming up short, but he had the rug pulled out from under him a bit. I'd like to see him start at the 1 for another team ... I think he's a better 1 than some of the starters in the League. He's got to be among of the top few back-up point guards in the League (I think Dallas' J.J. Barea and L.A.'s Jordan Faramr are in the discussion, too).

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

Sportscentury-I don't need to see the play again,but thanks for the link to it.And i'm sorry,i still stand by that it was a "simple layup".I think that's a shot that any if not all nba players should'nt brick.Especially in the finals to win the game.Has shaquille made new comments about kobe?.I'm glad you're with me on getting tired of that.And i agree with you,the brick layup was'nt the only thing that cost the magic the game.And if the refs would'nt have blown the worst call ever,that play would've just tied the game.

Joba, a couple of things:

First, in all fairness, you must admit that you did bait BTPH a bit.

Second, I wouldn't exactly call that a "simple layup." The pass could have been better. Lee was racing toward the bucket at an off-angle against Gasol, who has developed into an intimidating low post defender. It was basically a touch and shoot (with .06 left it was less than a catch and shoot) layup that didn't work out. See the shot again: http://www.blitzcorner.com/NBA/Court...oop-Miss-Video

Now, with all of this said, should Lee have made the shot? Yes. While it was not a simple layup, it is a shot that I believe most 2s and 3s make. He buckled. And no, I do not believe that Pau's touching of the rim had anything to do with Lee's shot not falling. Lee simply bricked it off of the glass.

I like the Magic. They are tough not to like. I am pulling *slightly* for the Lakers as I would love to not have to hear any more of Shaq's stupid comments about Kobe (I realize that this is a lame reason, but I'm not all that personally invested in either team). My interest is in seeing a long, competitive series. The Magic, as a team, though, lost that game. Lee blew it, no doubt. But the Magic made a lot of mistakes in Game 2, not just a bricked alley-oop.

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

Both teams-I apologize to you for my comments on here.As it was said on here,that i "baited" you.So i guess i had that personal attack on my gammer coming to me and i deserved it.I will try better at my grammer on here.All is good.

You are right Joba. My comments were uncalled for. Grammar doesn't matter on a forum or in e-mail, for that matter. No hard feelings. My personal feelings for the Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers have nothing to do with sports memorabilia.

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

can someone give me the link to the nba auctions? thanks in advance

Joel, I see that Mbenga already replied. When viewing the auctions, make sure you are sitting down. Several of them should already be in the Hall of Fame (at the very least, Dwight's first ever Finals jersey).

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Game 3 jerseys look when they are posted on NBA Auctions this evening.

You and I both, my friend.

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

Dwight needs to develop better hands for the ball, like the way Gasol grips it. Seems like the ball has been squirting out of his hands under pressure a lot.

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

Well anyways,to get away from the personal attack on me, and back on topic.I really think this game three will be most important obviously for the magic.It's a must win for them.And i think if they do win,then it could make this series interesting.As i think if the magic win,then it will go the six games i thought it would.But i think if the lakers win,they will win this in orlando.

Yes, I hate the Lakers. I also hate piss-poor grammar and run-on sentences.

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

Thanks,this is a great picture of a rookie laying a brick on a wide open simple layup.Is this suppose to be the same as howard touching the actual ball as it's going threw the net?Because this just shows gasol touching the rim and net,i don't see any ball being touched there.But i understand as you being a obvious laker hater,why you post this picture.

Yes, I hate the Lakers. I also hate piss-poor grammar and run-on sentences.
