Dugdug..dugdug..

LAKERS!

After the gimme Game 3, Lakers won Game 4 and now up 3-1. I expect the haters to write blah-blahs such as "Pau Gasol should have not dunk that, the game is over..or Kobe's elbow on Nelson is a foul.."

PS: I love you Derek Fisher.

Looks like that will be the series. How costly those missed free throws by Howard at the end of regulation turned out to be. Great clutch shooting by Fisher, they got away with an offensive foul on his final go-ahead three but the Magic certainly had the opportunity to win this one in regulation. I'm disappointed because I was hoping it would remain a series a little longer and sure, it could go to a sixth game back in LA, maybe even a seventh but one way or the other it's the Lakers' series to blow now.

Once again, Derek FIsher comes through with two big shots! I'm so happy for him.

Sends the game into OT and then hits a three to break the tie. And who said Gasol was soft? I loved how he confronted Pietrus! Playing with heart and fire.

Pretty ecstatic we got Game 4 and now it's onto Game 5 where I hope the Lakers do close the series out.

[BigGameJames]

1 quarter.I think Magic will take it tonite because Lakers post players cant handle Howard at all.Gasol whined about Howards elbow play,while abc zoomed Gasol on bench.Hah poor guy,be a man.Howard has already blocked 2 Gasol's shots.Turk boy penetrates well too.
I hope Magic will take it

Wrong.

[bee-boy]

Fisher so clutch tonight. bye bye MAgic

Bad decision by Van Gundy to put Jameer Nelson in the dying minutes and in the overtime.

[Kbryant8]

WOOOPS, LAL won

Very nice, very nice.

3-1 aint bad at all, LAL will take it this year!!!

[Andrew]

In Van Gundy's defense, Nelson made a couple of nice plays in the fourth. He probably should've gone back to Alston though.

[BigGameJames]

Screw Orlando, Pietrus should have been tossed, he wasn't making a play on the ball just a frustration foul, guess the Frenchies and the Spaniards don't get along so well.

[Lean]

Yes, and Nelson should be benched for being an inexperienced douchebag.

He screwed up cause he didn't get laid enough in High School.

I admire Ariza and Fisher's performance in this game ( I'm still with the Magic though )
What I don't like is Stan's decision on keeping Nelson on the floor .
He should've picked Rafer to play the last 9 min. of regulation .

I really hate Nelson right now ( I miss AJ ) , what kind of All-Star is that !
Don't say his not in the right condition , maybe yes physically but mentally his alright , and where's Rashard ?
Where's Dwight's energy and where is Rafer !
Sh*t ! I thought the Magic already had this one ( that one's on Howard not making FT's and Nelson not fouling )

The Magic must be mentally positive that they can still win this series or we'll see the Lakers celebrating in Amway next game .

It wasnt clear on my computer because i was watching the game streamed... but was Pietrus trying to injure Pau?

He whacked Pau's back, closed fist, similar to how gay people punch.

He was annoyed with Pau dunking the ball in the closing seconds even if the Lakers had the game won. Both guys were wrong in some ways.

[puttincomputers]

kobe should be suspended! why was nelson in after a shot to the jaw! van gundy needs to fired.

[MikeMan™]

That should've been a foul on Kobe though , Nelson gambled on that play but it payed for the Lakers .
He must realise that Fish is hot ! Nelson really sucks in D !

[Lamrock]

Sadly this isn't the stupidest post you've ever made.

[Lean]

Nelson shouldn't be playing anyway, the rotation is screwed.

[Oakrhum]

Nelson headed the elbow of Kobe.

[shadowgrin]

And who said Gasol was soft? I loved how he confronted Pietrus!

He's still soft. It's easier to confront someone smaller than you.
He should try it against Howard.

[Andrew]

Nelson headed the elbow of Kobe.

Nelson didn't initiate the contact. Don't get me wrong, nothing dirty about it since Kobe was just trying to protect the ball while looking for the pass but more often than not when a player connects with their elbow like that, they're whistled for the foul and that call certainly could've been made on the play. Just a tough break for the Magic though and a clutch shot by Fisher.

[shadowgrin]

LeBron crying is still leading the poll.

He's still soft. It's easier to confront someone smaller than you.
He should try it against Howard.

Plus Pietrus has a vagina.
