I suspect the magic will not play as bad as they did last night (game 1) for the rest of the series. The lakers were rolling on all cylinders, even Luke Walton showed up for the job.

I must say, I'd like to see the Magic win and they have the pieces to beat LA. But Van Gundy pales in comparison to ill Phil.

I think the refs are pretty one way around Bryant. He gets every call. Charge or no foul at all and he gets the call. defense has to back off or they get called on a foul. Just cause he's the big star doesn't mean the refs have to help him out. I must have seen 10 calls where it was a clean block or he was charging and the call went against Olando.

Just for the sake of equal critiquing , I think howard needs to practice 5 hours of.... in his hands and to the hoop. He always dribbles once and that is killing him. Its just a bad habbit many guys have. You see it all the time in college ball but usually the pros have had it coached out of them. He needs someone to work on it with him.Once he gets the ball , the hoop is 3 feet from his hands but instead he goes down 7 feet and has to dribble. The defense knows this and is just automatically looking low to poke the ball after he gets a pass. Its costing him more than 5 or 6 baskets a game from inside the paint.

Anyway , this series is one missed layup away from a big upset. Lewis makes that layup (and he should have) and its 2-1 Orlando.
