Hmm i saw a diff kobe. After the half time he was passing the ball well, that's why the game was so close he realized that he can't beat the magic if he's the only one scoring. If there's one thing that kobe did wrong that game was he missed alot of free throws and everything else came as a result of a very good magic d not because he didn't pass the ball. At the last couple of minutes he was still passing the ball to gasol and fisher made a couple of clutch baskets coming from a kobe pass. Now i know kobe is such a polarizing figure he's like the AROD of NBA but kobe is not the same guy anymore the old kobe would have been still jacking threes at the start of the halftime and would have definitely have a 50 point game and like 3 assist. Oh and no the lakers didn't get lucky with lee missing a layup i could actually say the same thing to the magic "they got lucky cause kobe missed 5 free throws cause everyone knows kobe don't miss free throws." Those statements is just a way to demean a team effort the lakers won cause the magic gave them a second chance and nothing else. That layup doesn't look as easy at it looks he was way on the other side of the basket and the only way he got a good look was through the other side of the backboard and then you got a 7 footer contesting it at the same time and then he also has to release the ball really fast cause of the time. Now if it was a wide open lay up and he missed it then that would have been lucky.
Now it looks like my predictions is still good cause the magic still got a chance to win this in 6. Did you guys see alston pull some street ball moves in the court lol he made fisher look old a couple of times. The magic was shooting lights out. Howard is still having a hard time under the basket the lakers are just swarming him all the time, but his team was just playing some awesome basketball and did you see the D on the the last minutes of the game the way they played the kobe pick and roll was text book perfect. Now the series is starting to heat up i want this to be like the houston vs lakers series a couple of rounds ago.
