I was rooting for the Magic (Dwight Howard is my favorite non-Shaq big man, plus I'm kind of sick of the Lakers) so this was kinda disappointing. After seeing the Magic blow game 2 (which they easily could have won), I nevertheless saw game 3 as a good sign. Game 4 you had Magic up by 3 with 10 seconds left, with Dwight on the line to shoot two. You know that no team should ever blow this, and yet that the Magic had a good chance of doing just that. Brick, brick, SVG decides not to foul, Fisher drains a wide open 3 (how!?? how do you not defend that!?!?!?), Lakers win in overtime. What a crushing loss. We all knew at that point the Magic would be too demoralized to even compete in Game 5 (as there is no freakin way they're winning 2 in LA) and sure enough they hardly looked like a basketball team. Congrats Kobe and the gang, but let's not forget this was 2 missed free throws away from being a 3-2 series with the Lakers needing to take games 6 and 7.
