although the magic lost by 25, they were still getting good looks
their shots just weren't dropping, i'm sure they'll shoot a lot better from here on out
it'll definitely be a lot closer as the series plays out

3 more wins to go. Yeah Orlando had nice looks but kept missing. I don't expect them to keep missing so we have to tighten up on D. I'm surprised that Orlando's starting line up did so poorly. I can handle dwight only getting 12 points anyday :). Go Lakers!

Good win and HUGE confidence booster... good couple days of rest too..they should be fine by sunday...

On a side note, did anyone read up that Chris Bosh will NOT be signing an extension with the Raptors? haha.. poor TO, it goes downhill from here.

thats cuz the plan is for him and lebron to go to the knicks after next season ;)

i hope lebron stays in cleveland.

btw have you guys heard the new Kobe Bryant song by Lil Wayne?
if not here it is:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5iXjWb3egQ

Heard it the other day, i think it's pretty good...

As for Bosh, he should have just kept his mouth shut rather than blabbing out he won't be signing..now, how will the fans treat him next season...They are probably saying "Vince Carter pt 2."

chris bosh = overrated

Are you serious? I don't know how a player that averages close to a double double per game can be overrated lol...

GAME STARTS!

*this will be my first game of the season.. i'm too cheap to buy TSN.. lol*

lakerssS!!!

Game 2:
15-15 at the end of the 1st? WTF !

rashard lewis vs the lakers

somebody better do something, or tomorrow you'll all be working for fcuking lloyd

lol
kobe is not even trying.

FUCKING LAKERS C'MON!

side note i have a friend that looks a lot like turk LOl he plays some pretty decent ball too

wow lewis had an excellent game...

odom steppin up at the right time again!

damnn lewis hada good game too..

you gotta love fisher and ariza's defensive efforts......

i say lakers gonna sweep them :)

with steve nash

isn't this summer the time he's able to sign an extension? if he doesn't sign one, i'm sure people will catch on anyways. at least he's honest about his intentions.

2 down 2 more to go. Lewis stepped up bigtime and Hedo made some key shots as well. Dwight had a better game but it still wasnt enough. Whats up with rafer missing all those 3's? I was shitting bricks when Lee caught the alley oop with .6 secs left, if he were a little more outside of the rim then he would have easily completed the play, good thing he was behind the backboard a little :). Odom had a good offensive game but on defense he stank, he better tighten up his D on lewis, go lakers!

i held my breathe when i saw the back pick set on kobe and saw courtney lee have a great chance at winning it for the magic. pau might have made him rush it a little too coming over to contest the shot. just the thought of pau coming over with his long reach may have altered lee's shot or at least made him think. if that was rashard or hedo or dwight, this series could've well been tied 1-1, but the shot didn't go in so it's now 2-0 lakers.

2 more wins, 2 more wins lakers. can't wait to see them win the title it's been a while. been cheering for them through all their ups and downs over the years and it'll be a joy to see them win it this year.

Fucking Lakers...damn that Kobe ....but I gotta admit...for how much I am the Anti-Laker Anti Kobe.....they deserve it......they've had more ups this year that downs...very consistent this season....Kobe's gonna be MVP....

The West is fail....not like it use to be..

It looked like kobe wasnt even trying last game :thumbsup:

For game 3, I guarantee that Kobe will take over from the start..similar to game 1...

As for Bynum, he is my 2nd favorite player on the team but he needs to play better and stop giving out stupid fouls...he just needs to put his hands up straight. It seems like he is worried about his knee and isn't 100% mentally/physically but I guess it's all good as Odom is kicking ass...
