OST: 2009 NBA Finals, Magic vs. Lakers

[Fool]

The Magic shot 75% for the entire first half. Only up by 5 and were down most of the half.

[geerussell]

So I didn't tune in until near the end of the third. How does that shooting percentage not translate into at least a double digit lead?

[Tahoe]

I just started watching, but this thing is physical.

[Tahoe]

Howard and Gasol look like they are ready to go toe to toe

Lakers were shooting 50% for most (all?) the first. Kobe had 21pts. Lakers weren't turning it over and were rebounding well.

[Timone]

Is it just me, or does the NBA get a little gayer if you watch it AFTER watching hockey?

[WTFchris]

yeah, it's true. you can't beat playoff hockey. NBA is mostly free throws and bad calls down the stretch. NHL is edge of your seat action.

Or, depending on your perspective... edge of your seat boredom as most of the game goes by with a lot of back and forth but nothing really happening. It's not quite soccer with sticks but close.

Kobe can throw elbows and not get a T? whodathunkit?

Hockey's nothing is better than soccer's nothing.
