It may as well be. Lakers in 5.

The Magic are too resilient a team to just throw in the towel. I still think this is going to be a hard fought series. They've gotten their feet wet, they've had their first taste of the Finals. In Game 2 they're going to get down to business.

My gut tells me Magic in 7. I hope I'm wrong.

Your gut just called, he was wrong.

So far midway through the 3rd quarter, the Magic have taken 22 three pointers.

wow, so lucky at the end of regulation didn't go down. big win with the 2-3-2 format

That Reddick guy looked like a scared chicken every time he touched the ball in ot.

For all the knocks he has taken over the years, Lamar Odom sure isn't getting the credit he deserves this year (and last for that matter) in the playoffs. He's quietly been the difference with the Lakers. When he shows up (which has been far more often this playoff year), he really is the catalyst. To do what he's doing with a wrecked back says a lot about his heart.
