Yeah. Just beat the best road team in the NBA three times in a row. No biggie.

Seriously, Orlando can take it if they make shots. LA is generally forcing them to make tough shots, and they are taking away at least one or two parts of their offense on every trip, so Orlando is consistently having to score with their third option. The only breakdown is when Howard passes directly to a shooter, rather than to a man who has to swing the ball to a shooter.

Sad part is, Orlando won the rebounding, but still lost. They need to win the rebounding to win.

I think he means: the last game will be in staples center...because it's only possible for this series to end in Orlando if Orlando drops two.

So if LA wins in 6, they win in Staples.

I don't see the humor in what I posted it. It could happen.

I'm pretty sure he meant that that was the last game in Staples.

Re: NBA Finals: Orlando Magic vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Howard has horrible hands and brings the ball down FAR too often. Go play in the West with real big men and you'd get victimized and found out all year just like this series. Lakers has a tough night but still pulled out the W, good to see.

Maybe you're right....I don't know about that. Orlando is good enough to get two at home.
