But wow lol well theres goes my prediction out the window magic in 6 hahahahah. But i did put a big BUT on it like i said kobe is a closer and if you give him a good chance he will kill you it's what seperates him from everyone else on the league. That pass to gasol impressed me cause the old kobe would have put up a shot on that one.

the thing about that is i think kobe knows that he wasn't shooting that well and well like the game plan says if he's doubled he's going to make that extra pass unlike the game plan he was on years ago.
and hedo made a huge play at the end of regulation, a block on kobe, what a play. and it was clean as hell.
gasol was the hero in this game. basically took over in OT to give lakers the W. hats off to lewis for hitting 3s like there is no tomorrow. and even JJ hitting that clutch 3 to tie the game.
andrew has so many problems with dwight that it's not even funny. he needs to play like game 1 in one of the road games. need better defense on howard.
and how about them free throws? lakers i think missed only 4 while the magic missed 7 free throws. i guess when you look at it, you gotta make the free throws but 7 missed free throws is still pretty good. just not better than 4 missed free throws. but gasol and odom were clutch at the charity tonight.
lineup for the lakers should be:
kobe
ariza
bynum
gasol
odom
a big line up and enough to match up with lewis and hedo. kinda want ariza to guard lewis. i think ariza is a lot faster and with his length and quickness he can at least contest lewis beyond the arc.
can't wait till mbenga hits the floor. phil says he's going to have to use all of his 7 footers, i guess that includes mbenga.
