Game 4 of the NBAFinals, the Orlando Magic are up by 5 with 31 ticks to go. Who would've thought they would lose this game is such dramtic fashion. I don't even know where to start, because there's a lot of blame to go around. Its as if the Orlando Magic are playing to lose the NBA Finals instead of win, because no one is THAT stupid. Did someone bet on the lakers of something, cause there's no way in hell an NBA coach is THAT stupid. Who the hell would full court press in this situation with Jameer Nelson defending Derek Fisher, who is all of 5"10 and one of the worst Magic defenders, to actually think Derek Fisher is going to the basket at this point in the game is beyond me. But the better question is, why the hell is he even in the game at this point? They are up 5 and clearly need to get some stops. They're obviosuly shouldn't go to Howard, because he's a horrible free throw shooter, neither is Rashard Lewis who's been ice cold all game, jj redick, nope he's too scared, pietrus,nope, not in his dna,. To cut to the chase, this is who should have been on the floor with 31 ticks left. Howard, Lewis, Turk, Lee, Alston, or A.Johnson, who inexplicably hasn't played this series.
Ok, back to the game. In OT what the hell is Turk doing taking desperation fadeaway 3 pointers? There you have it folks. How the Orlando Magic gave away the NBA Finals. Oh well, maybe next year.

If Howard misses both FTs I don't think Orlando deserves to win.

And Nelson's basketball IQ is probably in the 60s.

Actually Howard missing those free throws was expected. He's only a 56% free throw shooter, and is exaxtly why Kobe fouled him. Howard didn't lose the game for Orlando. How much can one man do. His stat line reads 21 rebounds, a NBA record 9 blocks and about 15 or 16 points I think so he played incredible. His supporting cast on the other hand well, jsut look at the players. Turk was ice cold from the free throw line when he's an 80% free throw shooter, Lewis only had about 6 POINTS, and missed wide open 3 pointers and open shots late in the game, and Turk took fadeaway 3 point shots with way too much time on the clock and the dagger, nelson double teaming Kobe, who by the should not even be playing,any of the other guards should have been playing, because he;s CLEARLY AFRAID TO SHOOT!! I place ALL this blame directly at STAN VAN GENIUS feet, as Skip Bayless likes to sarcasticly call him, because you don't get any more idiotic than those coaching desions down the stretch, then he has the nerve to blame it on nelson, WTF? HE SHOULD NOT EVEN BE PLAYING!!! Afterwards this looks to be abolutly comical afterwards. Noe I SEE why shaq said what he said about stan van genius, because he can't win championships. Counting down the days till sVg is fired, or resigns, because that was pitiful. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention; Coutney Lee only plays 7 minutes, whoo STAN IS DA MAN!!! LMAOO!! i'M done. I needed that. Lol
