I know there are a few out there in Lakerland that expect the Magic to roll over in game 5, but that is not going to happen. First, that is not the Magic’s personality — they are scrappers. Second, nobody wants to lose it on their home court. Remember the Lakers in game 5 last year (after ...

The Lakers Nation
The Los Angeles Lakers have the Orlando Magic on the brink. They’re a resilient team that will put up a fight but their backs are against the wall. Isn’t it ironic that the Magic shot lights out in game 3 but the Lakers are about to make them disappear?
It has been said numerous times that ...

Inside the Lakers
At first, Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy seemed confused after the Magic failed to foul on the Lakers' final possession in regulation play in Game 4. The Magic could have fouled Derek Fisher before he launched the game-tying 3-pointer, which sent the game to overtime. The Magic had a foul to ...

ORLANDO, Fla. – In the Lakers’ Game 4 NBA Finals disaster last year, they expected Kobe Bryant to take over in the second half. When he couldn’t, the Lakers lost the game they would look back on as costing them a championship.
In this Game 4, Bryant was similarly feeble in a ...

Okay, so the Lakers were humbled in Game 3 of the NBA Finals as they fell 108-104 to the Orlando Magic . Whatever, that's fine. No sweep? No problem. It was a home game for the Magic after all, and let's face it, it was their first-ever Finals win in the history of their franchise, which means ...

I actually thought the Lakers were dead meat about halfway through the third quarter, so give them a lot of credit for fighting back the way they did. I'm not sure what to say about Kobe. He didn't have a great fourth quarter -- it happens. I do think it's crucial that they win Game 4, though. ...

Here we go. I think we all have said this may be the toughest game for the Lakers to win. It will come down a lot to defense, and I like what Zephid said:

The Lakers deserved to lose tonight. Of course, both teams did. It was just a sloppy game -- lots of bad calls, cruddy shooting, a real lack of flow throughout. It was one of those games that if your team wins, you're mostly just relieved -- and if they don't win, you have a thousand reasons to ...
