NBA Finals Game 2 Live Thread: Orlando Magic Vs Los Angeles Lakers
After Their Game 1 Blowout Loss, Can The Magic Regroup And Steal One On The Road? [NBA Finals Live Thread]

Game 1 of the NBA Finals was quite forgettable for the Orlando Magic. They were winning at the end of the 1st quarter, but ended up getting completely dominated in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, on their way to a 25-point loss, in which their superstar Dwight Howard only made a single field goal in the entire game.

Tonight, they play once again in LA, and the Magic are hoping to rebound from their loss, in more ways than one.

They desperately need to make Howard more of a factor offensively. They will almost never win if he only gets one field goal in the game, and they definitely won't win that way against the Lakers. They need Dwight to be on top of his game, and getting a lot of offensive rebounds and putback dunks.

78% of FanIQ picked the Lakers to win again and take a 2-0 lead in the series.

Orlando Magic at LA Lakers - 8:00 pm EST, ABC

Orlando can't win shooting this bad. Got to get the post game working. They are resuming right where they left off. They should be glad LA is shooting just as bad, Lakers could be up 6-8 points already. Geez.

How come Lamar Odom always goes up with one hand?  Is it to protect the ball?  I swear he avoids two-hand dunks like the plague...sometimes I wish he just throw down as hard as he can with two.

if I were them I'd take it to the hold 10 times in a row and draw some fouls on Pau...

Dwight needs to be strong like that last shot. Doing that will lead them to victory.

not competitive? Magic are doing as well as they could. It's been a 5 point lead or less for most of this game. So its not that it is not competitive.

How many bad calls do there have to be until they're not bad calls anymore, and they just become regular calls?

It seems like the average call in the NBA IS a bad call, unfortunately. NBA officiating is horrific.

Oh darn it. Of course, to an end to a epic movie, the Stars are the ones who come out in the finale. Why can't LA just LOSE already????? Where is Jack?? Does he have a script in his pocket??

Nothing is ever good defense to Kobe. It's always a foul or some other nonsense.

I disagree. If that game was in Orlando, the Magic would have won in regulation. No doubt about it.

Kobe wouldn't have been awarded free throws for falling over. Mama, there goes that man-- someone get me an Oscar!

Because referees call things differently in different arenas. And in this case, just a single call or non-call in favor of the Magic would have been enough for them to win.

They really weren't. There were some awful calls, without a doubt, but I wouldn't say that they were really going one way or another.
