Lakers beat Magic 101-96 in overtime in game 2 of NBA Finals
The Magic will now go home to a must-win situation, after losing the first 2 in LA.
66
This was arguably the most boring overtime game in NBA Finals history. The quality of play for both teams was terrible in the first quarter, and only got slightly better as the game went on.

The Magic had a chance to win it as time expired in regulation, but Hedo Turkoglu's alley oop to Courtney Lee didn't give him quite enough room, and he had too much momentum to bank it in off the glass.

Not surprisingly, Kobe Bryant led the way for the Lakers with 29 points, and Pau Gasol chipped in with 24. Rashard Lewis led all scorers with 34 points, but it wasn't enough.

The series will go back to Orlando now for games 3 and 4.

Go Lakers, Go! We can and will perform ther greatest feat imagined and sweep the magic 4 games to Zero! Has that ever been done in the finals? Can we create basketball history? Can Kobe get another 40 point game? I'm really fishing here, but it's not impossible and it's even probable too some extent that it just could happen.

Not a game you would frame and hang in the Louve, but both teams scarped. The Magic did not roll over and they had their chances to win this.

Would you like to put your money up or is this just conversation?

If they were as good as the Lakers they would be tied, not down.

Or to get into the future, the Magic would be NBA CHAMPS and not the LAKERS.

Just an fyi, Cinnalocks is originally from Los Angelas, even though he doesn't reside there now. I'm not trying to get in the middle of the discussion between you guys, I just wanted to let you know that he is originally from L.A.

And your town is the garlic capital of the world.

It's not even remotely relevant, but I had to say something, because I loved driving through Gilroy back when I lived in Monterey.

So you're allowed to pick and choose teams you like based on whoever is winning at the time, but if Cinnalocks lives in Indianapolis and roots for the Lakers, he's a bandwagon fan?

You're logic is all effed up. Please, make more sense in the future, and be less of a hypocrite. We'd all appreciate it.

If you want to root for a bunch of different teams from a bunch of different cities, all of whom just happened to be successful very recently, then that's fine. But just don't come at someone else with some bandwagon BS when they live in Indy, but likes teams from LA. If you notice, he's also a USC fan and an Angels fan. So clearly the Lakers aren't the only LA team he likes.

Right on too knowing where Gilroy is. I like it here. I'm close to the coast, Watsonville, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, everywhere. Yet I'm still outside of the city.

I have never seen anyone with logic as backwards as yours.

Just as an example, you say you've "always had these teams as fan favorites  growing up as a kid in the back yard playing ball".

Well... your profile says you are 44 years old. The Magic have only existed for 24 years. That's obviously past the point that you were "growing up as a kid in the back yard playing ball".

It's just funny that you happen to be a fan of the team that just made the Super Bowl for the first time ever, another team that just made the NBA Finals, and then the most successful MLB team of the past 5 years (Red Sox) and the team that happens to have the best record in baseball right now (Dodgers).

So maybe you've been a fan of all those teams since you were a kid. But with at least one of them, your math is off.

All I'm saying is that you called another man a bandwagon fan, when you didn't know anything about him. And ironically, if someone just looked at your profile and knew nothing else about you, they would assume that you are one of the biggest bandwagon fans on the planet.

My point is that people like you, who live in precocious and poorly built glass houses, shouldn't throw stones.

LOOK  patty melt..i dont care if youre good in math or my teams havent beenin existence since  the stone age its all irrelevantI have had season tickets to the cards when they played at ASU  stadium,for you to sit here and argue a point thats moot.well thats on you.Next as A dodger fan ,I grew up living in la and remember relocating to arizona,who at the time didnt hav e a team so I listened to the DODGERs on the radio ,,back when Garvey ,LOPes <and Ron CEY were around.I doubt anyone cares if youre math is calculus or spot on with a guess.WHOO FRICKEN CARES.next Boston Ive always liked because I simply cant stand the YAnks and the rivalry it brings ,the sox to me made a better choice .I dodnt give a hot if your a so called moderator who spends hours redaing and writng articles or opinions.WHo Fricken cares.I sure the heck dont .So if youre trying to show how badd azzz of a writer or moderator dont care .last but not least with the MAgic ,I simply like them as the underdoggs ,which makes for a better story than some one who is expected to win.Its caleed the David and Goliath theory.I want to see some one else other than the Fakers and Im not alone.So go crawl back into your fake azzz martial arts theme and wanna bee former jock and leev me out of your world..cause you arent worth it.stick to the thread  and quit looking for something that you might regret ...cause if I was in your hood  and I happened to run into you at the local watering hole ..i would not hesitate on puuting a hurt on your punkazzz .   GOTT IT GOOD FROM THIS POINT ON LEEV ME ALONE and stick to the theme of this website ,and if you dont know what that is ..look it up writer of of crap and plaigerism is alll you are BUDDY   HOOOHRAAHH  too bad we didnt meet while in service ...I wouldve put a hurtin on ya and called it friendly fire from my fists pounding your face

What does this have to do with my writing? I'm just trying to show you that you are being a complete douche, and it would be cool if you would stop. You started it by calling out cinnalocks with some ignorant claim. And now you want to sit here and whine about it because I called you out on your BS?

Instead of getting all defensive, why not just try being less of an insufferable douchebag, and make legitimate arguments, instead of trying to bring in things that are completely unrelated to the topic, in an effort to attack the credibility of someone who has forgotten more than you'll ever know.

Do you at least understand the irony of you calling out someone else and saying they're a bandwagon fan when you are even worse than they are? Can you at least recognize that?

When did I call myself a Marine? It's one of my past occupations, but now I'm proud to be a civilian.

Regardless, there's no need to bring our personal lives into this. Just stop being a hypocrite and move on.

-You call someone a bandwagon fan for liking teams from somewhere other than where he lives, and you do the same.
-You tell me to stop commenting back, and yet you keep commenting back.
-You accuse me of "acting like an idiot to a fellow serviceman", yet you call me a "sissyfied tweety bird".

Seriously... do you see yourself? It's sad, really. I have no interest in banning you. I just want you to understand how much of a hypocritical douchebag you are being.

okay PAT then I must resign myself and look back at this in a different light >i will agree to stop this thread from going any further ,,this plays no value  and it detracts from what all fans whether we are bandwagoners or not do and that is ..we all heckle and we alll in our own competetive drive say things that go beyond limits SO at this time I WISH to apologise to anyone that Ive offended  to you as well .
