Originally posted by geshienWatch the replay, Pietrus clearly pushes Pau from behind while he has no body control in mid-air. Suspension or not, that's a flagrant. Only reason he wasn't ejected is b/c it wouldn't have effected the game.
What? For that slap on Pau? Looked like an accident.Kobe wasn't very sportsman like, if I recall.
What play are you reffering to with Kobe?
Great win. Excellent 3rd Qtr. Big shots by Ariza and Fisher.
FISHER REDEEMS HIMSELF!
Originally posted by geshienI felt it was a bad no call as well. But go back to the play where Fisher was called for pushing Dwight while Dwight was doing the EXACT SAME THING to Gasol. They're letting Dwight do whatever he wants to with Pau IMO and it's just wrong.
That no call on Kobe killed the Magic's chances to possibly tie this series.

It was a poorly officiated game.
I think the Lakers actually caught the lions share of those calls.
And I'm not blaming one call for a whole game of bad shooting from the line, it was simply the worst timing for the Magic for that to happen.

Pietrus foul on Kobe when he shot and then airballed, and Fisher's 'foul' on Dwight more than even it out, imo.For bad calls in OT, that is.
Looks like the Magic caught the bad ft shooting bug that the Lakers had game 2.
Either way, Lakers are going to win this series. Winning the game tonight was probably the only chance that Orlando had to change that tune.
It's just such a shame (from my perspective) that the Magic played so hard against everyone that was suppose to beat them. They've been the constant underdog and yet they've proved to be winners.
Coming back to the Finals after so long means a lot in itself to any true Magic fan. Winning our first game in the Finals was a big deal. I'm still very proud of the Magic regardless of this series' outcome.
This loss hurts a great deal.
