So the Finals started

Game 1 of the Finals was a huge disappointment. Even for people that expected Lakers to win that one easily, this just didn't look right. Just looking at the numbers of Magic starters:


You would think they came to Los Angeles only to build some houses there. The 'construction workers' threw so many bricks that it became rather scary. I know the saying 'You live by 3, you die by 3', but c'mon. How do you achieve all your players getting cold for the whole game?



Kobe had his 'special' angry face, but it wasn't needed. There's not many teams Magic can beat while scoring 75 points.
While the bad-bad night for Magic coincided with Jameer Nelson's comeback, there's no way I blame it on him. For, when he threw a ball to an open man, the open man threw just another brick!

I was sure Magic will take this series in 6 games. I still believe it. I simply don't think that the full Magic team will take a night off on each game. That's what's usually magic with Magic - there's always a team mate to take over when you have a night off. Well, nearly always...
