Kobe with all the missed FT's. Dude is automatic every day of the week.

seriously... i was wonderin what the hell was goin on today...

Kobe hardly ever misses his FT's... dude was out there lookin like LeBron wit all those missed FTs

 

[knightngale]

the missed calls all game but this one is mostly on kobe

5 missed FT's

missed the game tying FT
missed the game tying layup
turned the ball over

bricked a million 3's

good game magic but I doubt you guys will shoot this well next game

 

[mjsaver]

ONE STOLEN GAME DESERVES ANOTHER...

ORLANDO LET 1 SLIP AWAY & SO DID WE...

STOP TRYING TO OVERANALYZE IT...THEY SHOT 75% FOR AN ENTIRE HALF...

BESIDES WE WEREN'T GOING TO SWEEP THIS TEAM...GET OVER IT!!

 

[4thand10]

It seems like there were a lot of missed calls tonight.

Why does Crawford get to do the Finals?

And then they team him up with 2 other referees that seem afraid to make calls.

Pretty much........I'm not even disappointed tho, both teams played good

 

[cruzair13]

it's okay it's okay it's okay.
don't panic.
kobe is gonna put in work on his free throws for sure.
but if we have to point, i'll admit it, it was kobe.
oooh yes bold statement.
the turnover, the free throws.
the other lakers played great ball.
kobe sorta kinda choked. i'll admit it.
and yes orlando did win this game.
i'm not taking anything away from you guys.
but anyways
on to game 4.

 

[lilpennymagicfan]

even with this win this is %%*+++#%.

im tired of lebron, kobe, wade etc all gettin %%*+++#% star calls. after shard hit the 2 that was under review i posted on facebook i feel a kobe foul callcomin and what happened? d howard ties him up clean with a jump ball and he gets bailed out w a foul...

we are at home and the lakers get the calls. d12 clean ball foul, odom kick the ball out of bounds and they keep possession, bs movin scree ncall on d12 etc..kobe was talkin to refs all game and its helpin..

he is one of the top 2 players in the world along w lebron. he does not need no help at all


if lakers win this final you can put another * next to it along with the one when donaghy helped them beat the kings to get to the chip

 

[streetsmarts]

rashard lewis is cute

 

[numba1kickrocka]

Orlando

Lakers poor free throw shooting hurt them in the long run

 

[freshkrn]

Great game Magic's fan.
We will see you at game 4!
Hopefully Kobe still start knocking shots from charity strike

 

[willinc]

I can only imagine how much of a panic Lakers fans would be if they were down 2-1 right now.


I still think Orlando has a shot at this.

 

[chico cummings]

Magic deserved this game. Great balance by them. Missed free throws lost the game for us. Oh well, see yall on Thurs

 

[jordanxi45]

Orlando could easily be up 2-1.

You LA fans need to stop crying. This is why your the worst fan base in the NBA.

 

[solefob]

when Pietrus is hitting turnaround fadeaway jumpers and kobe is missing free throws, you know its just not your night.

I should have went to class tonight, karma got me.

QFT.

Orlando posted an NBA record from the field in the first half + shot like 65%+ for the majority of the game + they were at home + got a little home cookingfrom the refs (especially Dwight) = they win.

that's the easiest way to summarize the game. don't bother trying to break it down or put blame on one player.

the wrong mentality going into Game 4 is not "damn, Kobe just *+*%+@ up the game, we could be up 3-0."
the right mentality is "hmm... how can my team work on not letting their opponent shoot 75% in a half?"

[kookcle]

Damn the Magic shot well and they barely won. That makes this loss not that painful

Kobe started well but played horrible at the end
