Lakers Magic Game 4----Suns Spurs Game 1 2008

I don't know about you guys but that game really reminded me of game 1 of Suns Spurs last year. I know it is still a very sore subject because everytime i see that clip of duncan hitting that 3 to tie the game I flashback to me sitting at my friends house SCREAMING at the TV to just let Ginobili have the lay up and we can still be ahead by 1, because that lead would quickly be up 3 again because we have the 3rd best free throw shooter in the HISTORY OF THE NBA, Steve Nash. Let manu hit the 2, we inbound nash gets fouled makes 2, 3 point game again...and we probably win game 1 which is HUGE. but we all know what happened so i wont continue.

Of course hindsight is 20/20 but you gotta foul or let them have the two, but absoultely no 3's! And that is excatley what the Magic did not do, Of course im not forgetting that Dwight could of won the game hitting 1 or 2 free throws...clanks both, GREAT. thats ok because your up 3 with 10.4 seconds and the lakers are taking it out in the backcourt near their sideline. Magic trap kobe(obviously) then they get it to fisher but with nelson close he backs off and doesnt close on fisher, you know what he is going to do! run him of the line and let him drive to the basket, he hit the shot with 4.3 left if he run and lays it in how much time would be left then? 2 3 seconds?! fine. Get rashard at the line hits 1 or hits 2 thats fine, the lakers gotta make a 3 from the other end of the court. Or rashard purposely misses the 2nd and the clock runs because the lakers had to TO's left.

Im not claiming to be any sort of basketball x's and o's guru but i mean i just think its common sense, and for jameer to blow that assignment is unforgivable. They gave away the game and the series. Just like how they said we wouldnt recover from losing game 1 because of that dagger 3. If you cant tell by now im just bitter the Lakers are taking home a 15th championship probably on sunday, but hey at least I have my health
