Magic employ 'kitchen sink' strategy to try to stop Lakers' Kob...

In the 1980s, the Detroit Pistons devised a defensive strategy to contain Michael Jordan called the Jordan Rules.

Throw some more elbows Dwight or push off some more Turk.

I'm tired of all the Orlando fans whinning about the refs calls---if they make their free throws they win period!!!! Experience counts baby:D...

As a lifetime Laker fan I am very happy. However I am through with the NBA. You don't think they want 7 games? You don't think the refs may be following a script? With less than 3 minutes left in the 1st period all the Lakers' bigs are in foul trouble! The network commentators feel the need to defend the refs. Dwight banging like a mosh pit bully. But you get 47 ft's. Thanks but no more WWE! The $ people and the bookies have prostituted the game. Oh I admit that I sometimes watch wrestling for laughs and for free. But I would never pay or bet on these 'matches'. It seems that no aspect of our culture has not been tainted by corruption. I refused to continue to be played and conned. The crooks have taken over and ruined our beloved game.

I don't think the Magic are doing a good job of "wearing out" Kobe. You need to keep the defenders on him fresh. Even if Lee is not playing well (which he wasn't) you need to put him on Kobe at the end of the 3rd so Pietrus will be fresh down the stretch. Not making sensible substitutions down the stretch came back to haunt the Magic, as I think some of their blunders were due to fatigue - such as Nelson's lazy defense.
